Harlem Shake Anyone?

So I'm sure everyone has heard about the Harlem Shake videos that have become viral this week?! Where did these things even come from? Why did they start this week? Twitter and Facebook have been blowing up with these things. Everyone from the army to colleges around the world have participated in this viral outrage. The harlem shake dance actually originated in 1981 in Harlem by a man named Al B. It got picked up by G.Dep in 2001 when the harlem shake was put into his music video Lets Get It. The dance is quoted as being "a drunken, alcoholic shake but very enjoyable". Which is exactly what it is! But why is this dance so important? Who really knows. It's a fun dance that can be done with your friends and now everyone wants to do. Most of the dances go like this: You start with one person dancing and then suddenly switches to a lot of people dancing crazily everywhere! So I'm thinking this is going to be a similar fad similar to the Gangum Style video that went viral last year. This video was killing social media for a few months and then suddenly disappeared. Will this video be similar to that one where it is here for a few months and then gone again? I guess we'll have to see what happens with this video. In the mean time, lets get to shaken.
