Harlem-shaking-it

Internet crazes are a phenomenon that sweep through the world for a split second in history and then die out, only to be replaced by something just as random as before.

The latest craze is called the Harlem Shake and in the past month there have been 49,100 videos uploaded onto YouTube.

Of course it is ridiculous and just a little bit of fun but it is not stuck in the confines of cyper-space. Yesterday, Baauer`s short song became number one on iTunes and today he has sold out his concert in New York, as a result.

Today Buckingham did their very own Harlem Shake:

If you want to Harlem-shake-it, here is how:
1.) One person, with a random mask/outfit, starts dancing to the music. 
- most common move is limp arms and rocking pelvis.
- everyone else in the room goes on as normal, not paying any attention.
2.) Everyone goes crazy... outfits, props and color make it even better.
- I`ve noticed in most videos there are common moves such as: punching teddy bears, humping inanimate objects, someone not moving at all.
