Today I kept thinking about how I should do one of these videos myself…then I remembered I’m way to lazy for that crap right now, so here is someone else who did it:
Also, for reference (Thank you urbandictionary.com):
| harlem shake | 2463 up, 1015 down | |
|
An eccentric upper body dance move that involves the shaking of the upper torso and shoulders. The Harlem Shake originated on 125th and Lexington where gang bangers would shoot unsuspecting cripples with crutches. The staggering fall of these cripples created a signature move, adapted by gang-affiliates and introduced at local parties. Upon witnessing the newly created “Harlem Shake,” a corporate thug under the Bad Boy Entertainment payroll reenacted and sold this dance to famous choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson who introduced this dance with the video premier “Let’s Get It” by P. Diddy featuring G-Dep and Black Rob. The phenomenon sweeping white neighborhoods and Italian nightclubs across the country was born… the Harlem Shake.
I wonder if everyone in the UK and London are reading this going “so they shoot unsuspecting cripples in the US??” I’ve never seen it happen, but I can’t promise it doesn’t. That’s my expert opinion.
I hope nobody gets shot tonight!
XOXO

Yeah, what the hell kind of dance is that in honor of?
I have been hearing everyone refer to this for a few months and never bothered to even look it up until now! Almost all of the pregnant ones on youtube have their faces covered up with something crazy like a lamp shade! It looks more like the Harlem Epilepsy than a dance! I really thought about trying it…but I get out of breath going to pee so I don’t want to pass out while nobody’s home…risky.
This is awesome, lol, thanks for sharing! Good laugh.
OMG! This is hilarious…I love how the kids are involved 😉
I’ve been thinking of doing one of these videos too. 🙂 They’re so fun. I especially love the college ones. Makes me think: Was it really that long ago? Then I realize: Yes it was. 🙂
