    There seems to be a fascination with this epileptic-looking style of dance lately.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTFcTptKS3U"]The Harlem Shake - IDF artillery corps version - YouTube

    Following a series of social media scandals, a few days ago Israeli military commanders were told to stop recruits uploading videos and pictures "not appropriate to the spirit of the IDF".

    Two soldiers were also sent to military prison for 14 and 21 days for posting a clip of their artillery battalion performing a version of the Harlem Shake.

    The video had been well-received online and in the Israeli mainstream media.

    "It's just a sign of the times when you see soldiers dancing and reacting to internet sensations like the Harlem Shake," says Guy Lerer, presenter of Israeli Channel 10's programme about the internet, The Night Tube.

    "I think that the army shouldn't be embarrassed about that. It shows the world that Israeli kids are like kids everywhere else."

    Absolutely everyone!!
    Infact, 2 years after birth the Chicken Dance and the Time Warp are just automatically learned by influence of the collective unconscious.

    That's my theory. :afro:

    It is humerous how dance crazes get started. Things like the hussle, YMCA and all others started exactly as this one has.

    Let's be honest you can be goofy doing them and it is accepted as good fun. Not such a bad thing at all. :)

    basically, it's several scenes of a bunch of people doing the stereotypical white guy dance, generally with one person somewhere in the scene humping the air. each scene taking place during the intro to the same song.

    i'm really not sure if the harlem shake is the song, the white guy dance, or the air-humping.
