Winner of the Harlem Shake Craze


     The song and dance craze The Harlem Shake can be explained as nothing short of  miracle. Inspiring news teams, firefighters, and even an army to shake it Harlem style. 
    The Harlem Shake by Baauer  released on January 8 of this year has motivated people to dance like they never have before. Dancers appearing as common everydayers at the beginning and then transforming into characters in costumes after 'the beat drops.'  The best thing about the Harlem Shake craze is the urge of average everyday people wanting to express themselves relatively anonymous. The second best thing is their motivation to film it and share in the viral video phenomenon.
     Los Angeles radio station  KROQ has deemed music duo Matt and Kim's version of the Harlem Shake the biggest and "pretty much the best." There is are Bayonne NJ Cheerleaders Harlem Shaking and even KSLA News Team Harlem Shakes. 

     With everyone having their own spin on this craze and each video varying from the leaves one left left to ponder which video is the best?

The WINNER is.... University of Georgia's Swim Team


ok ok... Second Place goes to.....


This is by far one of the most positive trends to catch on in America. Only promoting happiness in creativity Baauer's Harlem Shake (avail. on iTunes) has officially converted many over to EDM, even if it was only for 30 seconds.
