"Hey, wealthy ladies!" the Republican presidential nominee is now doing it "Mitt Romney Style!"

The comedy website College Humor on Tuesday published a parody of Psy's number-one YouTube video "Gangnam Style" featuring Matt Walton as Mitt Romney, Brandon J Sornberger as Paul Ryan and Jeanne Taylor as Ann Romney.

The Romney character begins: "I got a horse in the Olympics girl but I don't even watch 'em / In and out of tax loopholes cause I'm so fuckin' awesome / Bitch it's Friday night you know we benefit hoppin'."

After a few verses, the chorus adds: "Affluent, Extravagant, that's Mitt (hey!) / Yeah that's so Mitt (hey!) /Profits, investments! That's Mitt! (hey!) / Yeah that's so Mitt! (hey!) You should elect / me cause I got so much mon-ay AY AY AY AY."

And the Ryan character also gets some screen time: "Yo I'm the vee pee nominee and yo budget I be cuttin' / I got the eyes and body so you know I'm gon be struttin' / I'll cut ya social safety net you losers ain't got nothin'/ Gotta stop snoozin' start hustlin'."

The video ends in a similar fashion to the original "Gangnam Style," with an epilogue of Romney and Ryan awkwardly dancing in a garage "Mitt Romney Style!"

A senior adviser to President Barack Obama's reelection campaign on Sunday lamented that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney had "embarrassed" the U.S. by insulting Britain as they kicked off the Olympic games last week.

Robert Gibbs told ABC's Matthew Dowd that Romney had disgraced himself "in front of our strongest ally in the world."

"Look, Mitt Romney wondered aloud whether London was ready for the Olympics, and I think it's clear that voters in this country wonder aloud whether Mitt Romney is ready for the world," Gibbs quipped. "And I think the world is not yet ready for Mitt Romney."

"Literally to go overseas, stand in the county of our strongest ally -- in the Olympics that they had been preparing years for -- and question whether or not they're ready does make you wonder whether or not he ready to be commander in chief."

"I thought it was embarrassing for our country," Gibbs added.

In an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams last week, Romney had offended Brits when he suggested that London wasn’t ready for the games.

“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out,” the candidate said. “There are a few things that were disconcerting. The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials — that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”

During a torch lighting ceremony, London Mayor Boris Johnson made a point of calling out Romney by name in front of tens of thousands of people.

“There are some people coming from around the world who don’t yet know about all the preparations we’ve done to get London ready in the last seven years,” Johnson told the massive crowd in Hyde Park. “There’s a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we’re ready.”

“Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes, we are!”

Even conservative Prime Minister David Cameron took a jab at Romney's 2002 games in Salt Lake City, saying, "Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere."

The next day, the British press panned the GOP hopeful as “devoid of charm, offensive and a wazzock.”

“Good old Mitt,” The Guardian‘s Paul Harris tweeted. “His charm offensive in the UK failed to be charming, but he really pulled off the offensive bit.”

A Republican strategist who managed former Gov. Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign says that GOP hopeful Mitt Romney's recent gaffes during a trip to London reinforced the appearance that he is "aloof and not always understanding the situation."

Chip Saltsman on Sunday told Fox News host Chris Wallace that Romney had made an "unforced error" in London by suggesting that the British were not prepared for the Olympics.

"And unforced errors usually lose the match," Saltsman explained. "At the end of the day, this should have been a lay-up trip. When you go to London you'd think since he's got the Olympic experience, the guy writing the memo would say, be positive. I mean, this is an exciting time for London."

"But I think what you saw there was kind of CEO Mitt Romney come out -- which is kind of his default position -- and say, you know, 'Looks pretty good but there's problems -- could be problems. We need to work on this.' And people were like going, 'Huh?'"

Saltsman added: "And this, unfortunately, reinforces the kind of Mitt Romney image of kind of aloof and not always understanding the situation."
