Oh my god!
(laughing hard)
- (breathlessly) Okay.
(laughing)
- (children) Question time!
- (Finebros) Okay, have you seen Harlem Shake videos before?
- No.
- No!
- Yeah.
- Everyone at school is doing them, like in the science room, just everywhere.
- No.
And I wish I hadn't. (giggles)
- (Finebros) Why do they call them the Harlem Shake?
- 'Cause everyone's shaking?
- The song says it?
- 'Cause the guy who invented it was named Harlem?
- What is Harlem?
- (Finebros) Do you know what Harlem is? - No.
- No.
- I have no idea.
- It's a prison or it's a very bad neighborhood.
- Harlem is a city in New York.
- Isn't it a place in New York or something?
- (Finebros) Do you like Harlem Shake videos?
- Yeah, they're really entertaining.
- I liked the part where they were dancing.
- I think are kind of funny, especially ours.
- I think they're all yucky!
- It was very weird. It was awkward.
- When things go viral, you can get sick of them sometimes.
- (Finebros) Why is this something that people see
and go, "I have to make this myself."
- Lots of people think it's funny. Like, did you see me?
I was just-- I couldn't even breath!
- It's like planking. You gotta be part of the new thing.
- They get so many views.
- Maybe because it's easy or something.
- It's easy to make.
- You just have to dance, basically, crazy,
and then you need a naked guy, which is easy.
- (Finebros) How long do you think the Harlem Shake has been around?
- Uh, two, three weeks maybe?
- Not that long. It looks pretty new.
- (Finebros) The videos have only been around a little while,
but the Harlem Shake dance has been around for over 30 years.
- Whoa! Really?
- So why is it popular now?
- (Finebros) So now I have another video that shows you
how to do the Harlem Shake. - Oh gosh. (whimpers) Okay.
- (man) And we're going to learn the Harlem Shake.
You're gonna go... - Uh-uh.
- (man) ...here, here. - Here.
- (man) Boom, boom, boom.
All right, now we're gonna do the same thing
but we're gonna do a double shake before we--
- Oh, this is getting complicated now.
- (man) Da, da, boom. - Da, da, boom!
- (man) Now let's add the hands here. - Here.
- (man) Boom, boom, bop!
- Boom, boom, bop!
- That's like my dance teacher.
She has to have different sounds for each move.
- (man) And we'll try out what you've learned.
- Okay, I wanna try. Yeah.
♪ (rap music) ♪
- That's my version.
- (man) Boom, boom, bop! Then a shoulder, shoulder, ah!
- Oh, now he's just adding stuff. I can't keep up with this.
- (Finebros) Were all the Harlem Shake videos doing
the proper Harlem Shake dance? - No.
- No.
- No-ho-ho!
- Not at all.
- (Finebros) What do you think people from Harlem
or the dancers that do the Harlem Shake think about this?
- Not good.
- They probably hate it.
- They're like, "Why you no do this dance?"
- It could go extinct.
- (Finebros) And how many Harlem Shake videos do you think have been made?
- There's more?!
- 30?
- Around 80?
- 1,000.
- Is it over 9,000?
- (Finebros) There's been over 50,000 so far.
- Wow!
- Oh my god.
- O-M-God.
- How is it 50,000? I mean, in just this month?
- (Finebros) What do you want to say to someone
that wants to make a new Harlem Shake video?
- Do it.
- Keep 'em coming. They're interesting.
- That's enough.
- Everybody's sick of the Harlem Shake. Make a new dance.
- Stop it! Now!
If you make one more video, I will pull your brains out
and feed your liver to my dogs!
- (Finebros) If you were in one of these videos,
and it was time to dance crazy, what is your craziest dance move?
- No.
I don't wanna do it.
I'm just too afraid.
I'm not-- I'm not-- I'm not gonna do it.
I'm not-- no dance for me because I don't wanna do the dance.
