I prefer it to Gangnam Style, and I am pro at that dance. For anyone who hasn’t been on Facebook or YouTube in the last few days, the ‘Harlem Shake’ is a viral extravaganza that everyone has been getting involved with.
There are hundreds of these videos all over YouTube at the minute and they all involve pretty much the same thing. Each clip uses the same song (The Harlem Shake by DJ Baueer) and this is how a lot of the videos transpire:
2. This goes on for about 15 seconds.
3. The beat drops.
4. The videos cut and everyone that was in the room, and more, start going crazy...
...and I mean crazy; I saw one where a guy put his kid in the bin.
It’s fun to see such a response from the internet. Normally when you see a viral video, you watch it repeatedly and share it to as many people as possible before everyone catches on. But these kinds of videos just make you say ‘I should make one of these’.
I have trawled through a tonne of these clips and here are some of the funniest I’ve found (including the child in the bin). If you think you can do a better one then make it and tweet us @imwithgeek.
