YouTube Is Responsible for a Terrible New Dance Called the "Harlem Shake"

 

A dance called the "Harlem Shake" is going around online right now.  In the past few weeks, a ton of people have uploaded videos of themselves doing it, and they're all set to a song called "Harlem Shake" by a DJ called Baauer.

 

 

--The dance basically involves humping the air and waving your arms around in pretty much any way you want to.  So in other words, it looks like a bunch of people who CAN'T dance.

 

 

--There's one video where two old women do it . . . the website Smosh.com posted a list of the "Best Harlem Shake Videos So Far" . . . and even the staff of Anderson Cooper's talk show got in on the action the other day.

 

 

(--Search for "Harlem Shake - Grandma Edition" and "Anderson's Staff Dances Harlem Shake."  His staff members start dancing at :23.)
