OK, I am an old fogey, but this whole thing baffles me. First of all, it’s not really a dance, it’s just simulated intercourse. Slyfox, did people really do this at a wedding??? Wow, we really are reverting to being savages.
And, since this is basically wild, um, humping, kind of like what a small dog does to one’s leg, and it’s called the Harlem Shake, isn’t this considered to be racist? Whoever created this fad is implying that the denizens of Harlem behave like animals. Am I missing something here? I think the whole thing is one more sign of the decline of civilization.
The only good thing is that the Muzzies are fighting each other over it.
When the music first came I asked my brother, the father of the bride, what it was. He said it was the "Harlem Shake - something they found on the Internet." I said, because no one had moved yet, "How are they going to dance to this?" The music is really weird. Then all of a sudden they began to dance in place as if they were zombies and somebody plugged them into a 220 light socket. They liked it so much they got the DJ to play it two more times.
Needless to say, I did not get up to dance.
