Harlem Shake: College Edition
Phi Delta Theta – Allegheny College
Where did this phenomenon come from? I’d never heard of the Harlem Shake before this morning, but after going through emails and user submissions, it’s become apparent I’ve been missing out on the latest YouTube craze. There’s even a college edition.
After I found the first video, I immediately flagged it for Fail Friday, because it was so bizarre. That was before I knew what kind of momentum the Shake had. We’ve discovered too many of them to drop into our weekly Fail Friday column, and I gotta say, after looking through these videos a few times I’ve come to realize that some of them are really hilarious.
