After the sensational Korean's internet hit which went viral and spurned a few copy cats and disasters (like Malaysia's lame hit 'Dabbangkoothu'), the latest craze that seem to hit the cyberspace is the 'Harlem Shake'!
Psy, an ardent Hitchcock admirer who fashioned his name after the thriller 'Psycho had rocked major events like super league games and political party games, 'the shake' had got many institutions shaking.
The Harlem Shake is actually a short 1-minute snippet which starts in a setting of office or organization where one character (with a mask) would be dancing alone to an instrumental techno beat music while the rest would be buried in their own work. Suddenly after the first half, all the others would join in the mayhem, dancing away in asynchronous movements donning loud colored costumes like feathers or animal costumes to an upbeat Spanish song. The dancing steps can be construed as lewd, funny, inappropriate or devoid of social etiquette (depending on which generation the viewer belongs to). Just so that you know!
