Harlem Shake

Harlem Shake by Baauer debuted at number one on the billboard charts this week due increased YouTube visibility. Believe it or not, the tune is actually over a year old. However due to YouTubers making 30 second spoof videos with the song as the backdrop, the song skyrocketed.

How do you create your own ohm-age to the Harlem Shake? You take a 30 second clip of the song, pause for half of the video and then do something opposite in the second half. The formula for video success seems to be the contrast of activity once the bass drops. Below is a compilation video posted last week of the best Harlem Shake dances.
