South Korean rapper Psy is going nuts!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not content with starring in the most-watched video in YouTube history, the man behind viral hit “Gangnam Style” is to appear in a Super Bowl commercial for… pistachios.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Wonderful Pistachios brand is fun, just like me,” Psy said Wednesday by way of a press release from Paramount Farms, which owns the upmarket California snack label.<\/p>\n

“Also, I love pistachios and I look good in green.”<\/p>\n

It will be Wonderful Pistachios’ first spot ever during the Super Bowl<\/strong>, the annual American football classic, set for February 3 this year, that is also the most coveted showcase for commercials on US television.<\/p>\n

Psy made Internet history shortly before Christmas when “Gangnam Style”<\/strong> — featuring his signature horse-riding dance — clocked more than one billion views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

CBS television has been selling Super Bowl advertising at record prices this year, with 30 seconds going for more than $4 million dollars, USA Today reported Wednesday, quoting network executives.<\/p>\n

Last month, Wonderful Pistachios featured Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao in its ongoing “Get Crackin'” series of commercials and sponsored his Las Vegas bout with Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez.<\/strong><\/p>\n
