Harlem shake

Based on what we did in the parking lot after school on friday, I figured this was fitting. Okay quick boring analysis of viral videos and music's role before I link some videos for entertainment; the extremely large viral videos  that quickly gather a large cult following tend to have eitheror 1. Physical action/inaction (usually of a comedic nature) 2. The majority also tend to have some form of music that propels and supports the action and is most prevalent in group actions and brings hysteria to a climax after the ceremonial dropping of the base, which is definitely the case with the harlem shake). Nearly forgot the key factor, comfort of group which can be identified as a group mentality, or more commonly, bandwagon.
             Alright enough if the boring crap, the link is below and feel free to continue (or don't) looking at other versions including our own Anderson version that damaged a minimum of three cars, the video will apparently be up sometime around sunday.
