Jockey Style revisited ... for better or worse. Kevin Tobin admits he wrote Jockey Style — a Gangnam Style imitation

Former English jockey Kevin Tobin admitted he was the wordsmith behind "Jockey Style," the semi-popular musical hit in the horse racing industry. (The definition of "semi-popular hit" can be debated by future generations, but it has nearly 600,000 views on YouTube.)

So what follows is horse racing's version of VH-1's semi-popular hit Behind The Music. The 90-second Gangnam Style imitation leads the video below, followed by an interview with Tobin, where he admits to writing the song. "I want to say I put a little bit of an effort into this, so I'd say it was upwards of 10 to 12 minutes," he joked. Tobin does credit fellow former jockey Luke Harvey for producing the video.

During the phone interview, Tobin, who currently resides in Baltimore, is goaded into singing the song with no musical accompaniment. And then, after about 10 seconds of a capella singing, he is told by the host: "Shut up. I can't stand anymore."
