“THE HARLEM SHAKE”
Hello everyone,
We have found a new hype after the Gangnam Style! Over the last few weeks, a lot of videos have been released on the internet. Those videos were always based on the same thing. The Harlem Shake!
In these videos you can see one random person dancing in a quit, slow way to the intro of the Harlem Shake. Then, as the song proceeds, you can see everybody going crazy and dancing very wild. From its origin, the dance is a drunken shake, it's an alcoholic shake.
The song “The Harlem Shake”, recorded by American DJ and producer Baauer, which exists for more than a year, wasn’t a great success until now. These days, the videos have become so popular in a very short time, that it became a real internet sensation. Where the hype began exactly, isn’t know by anyone. But from there, it seems an unstoppable spread of it. In two weeks, around 20 000 Harlem Shake videos have been uploaded and had about 100 million views. Every day, around 3 000 new videos are being released.
Nobody knows how far this trend will go, but we cannot deny that it’s a real internet sensation at the moment. One single video will not have as many hits as the Gangnam Style on YouTube.
Meanwhile, there are already a lot of versions and parodies of the Harlem Shake. Lots of (famous) people have been tempted to do so, and made themselfs a short clip. In Belgium, Tom Boonen and his Omega Pharma Quick-Step team and the youngsters of football team Anderlecht have already released their version.
To be honest, I'm not that fond of, but there might be some of you who read this blog, who will now be even more tempted to have this dance.
Many shake-fun!
