Riff: Baauer – “Harlem Shake”

Jun 5, 2013

Do the Harlem Shake

from Harlem Shake lyrics by Baauer

Thanks to the whole viral video thing, this song will always sound awesome for 30 seconds, and as soon as that lion roars, it loses all its appeal immediately. At this point, you start to wonder what “teroristas” have to do with the “harlem shake,” a dance that’s not even featured in any videos.
