Dance Crazes Gone Too Far



"Enough already with the 'Harlem Shake"' they say!
A librarian gets fired for staging this trendy video/dance craze with students in her library?
That's a little ridiculous.
Have we had enough?  Just about!  We've seen it take place in the work place, grocery stores, garages, offices, even the post office.  Someone told me they considered the "Baby Shake" version, including a baby in the opening.  I haven't seen it yet, but you can bet it's out there.

Just as Gangham Style came and went, so will the Harlem Shake,  maybe.
Who creates these and how do they catch on so quickly?
After a little internet research I found that:
"This nonsensical meme was the brainchild of some teenagers in Australia, who uploaded the first Harlem Shake video at the beginning of February." - WUSF News  

This version claims to be the ORIGINAL.  Who knows?  Wonder why the superheroes?
Just as every trend has it's time, so will the 'Great Harlem Shake' soon become a thing of the past.
Meanwhile . . .
