How to... Do the Harlem Shake.

Inspired by Jokjinari

 

 

 

 

So, recently Jokjinari started a topic teaching people how to make trends. This started a new trend of "How to..." topics.

In this topic I wish to keep this trend going. So, I have decided I will teach you the fine art of Harlem Shaking.

 

 

 

Some History on the Harlem Shake:

 

The backing track for all the Harlem Shake videos was a song made by Baauer which was released on May 22, 2012.

Much later, in late January 2013 the first person had the idea to make a random dance video with the track "Harlem Shake - Baauer" in the background.

A few hours after this video was uploaded to YouTube it went virally bananas!

Over 10K people made their own Harlem Shake video in the first week of the release.

 

 

 

 

You will need:

 

A Camera

2+ People

Bacon

 

 

Step 1. Set up you're camera or screenrecorder, depending on whether you are filming a real life video or a tanki one.

Step 2. Gather some friends and get ready to film your shake.

Step 3. Let all except one of your friends assume a normal position, (i.e. checking your phone, reading a book or sleeping.)

Step 4. The one person who is not in a normal position will start dancing randomly once the camera is recording, (suggested dance moves: Berny, Cat daddy, Dougie or Random.)

Step 5. Do that for about 10 seconds then pause the camera. Get all of your friends to maybe put on some costumes or get ready in whatever way.

Step 6. Un-pause your camera and flip out! Do what ever you like but just make sure it's extremely immature and wack!

Step 7. After about 15 seconds of recording that stop the camera.

Step 8. Then edit your video and put in the "Harlem Shake - by Baauer" with perfect timing. Then you're ready to upload to YouTube.

Step 9. Reward yourself by eating Bacon.

 

Good Luck! ツ

Bacon's price is going up, since this year we haven't had enough precipitation. Any alternatives that are considerably cheaper?

[Contaminated 129]

it's exactly 15 seconds to the drop, not 10

I´ve heard you can use salami as rocket fuel... Salami beats bacon by far.

A brilliant and well-researched topic, some one needs to put this into the FAQ :)

 

Even though "Harlem Shake" has existed much longer than one year. (I believe it was introduced in the 1980s)

Horse meat will do, or just any processed beef if you can't get your hands on some... (those from Western Europe will understand the joke) :P

Me and my friend did the Harlem shake going down a ski hill yesterday. It was awesome, except for the fact that about everyone going up the ski lift thought that we were severely mentally challenged.

Our current society is very disposable my friend...ask anyone about "Gangnam Style," they will look at you and tell you that that's an old thing of the past.

 

In two or three months from now everyone will think the same of Harlem Shake!

 

But right now, people are having a lot of fun Harlem Shaking, it is such a random dance; and because it requires little skill to perform, it has grown so popular.
