[BillVol]

Is anybody else enjoying this new craze?

Harlem Shake is effectively going to end that guy's 15 minutes.

I never enjoyed all the flash mob dances. Same for all the versions of "Call Me Maybe." But this Harlem Shake is hilarious. Here is just one version, from yesterday's UT-UK basketball game. Ex-Vol and current NBA player Tobias Harris is the guy who starts it off with something on his head, which I guess is required for this dance. http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/021613aaa.html

The Harlem Shake will stake its 15-minute claim to fame because ANYone can do it - there are no dance moves to learn - it's just trying to look as stupid as you can. I excel at it, of course.

Nope. Not gonna do it. Would not be prudent.

The older you get, the more apt you are to be doing it involuntarily. I find myself doing it as I get out of bed every morning.

Try crawling to the bathroom.

After I turned 40, I went and did a Masters Decathlon. When I awoke for Day 2, I literally had to crawl around the motel room for 45 minutes before I could stand up. I took two Advil and spent an hour on the track warming up before the 110H! Having never been knee-walking drunk/hung-over, that was my one encounter with complete loss of bodily control!!

Good catch. I didn't notice Spearmon the first time around. He and Bolt are best friends.

I think that's a big reason for its popularity -- anybody can dance to it. People with pent-up dance moves who have always been afraid to dance can do it. You can't look "bad" doing the Harlem Shake. The version by Bolt and crew is another good one.
