This years gangnam style? I think this song is going to be massive, and below is a compilation of how the Harlem Shake should be done......got to be one of the funniest videos i've ever seen on youtube

 

Moving up the radio playlists and up to the top 20 on itunes fast!

Null voted, its blinking awful

I detest it. :( Not a patch of Gangnam Style (and I loathed that after about 2 weeks.)

Top 3. The videos of people doing the Harlem shake have really blown up, even on my Facebook news feed! And this has R1 playlisting which Get Hyper didn't get.

The result of a Brazillian woman, a tiger & a my-first-DJ set alone in a room for four minutes? These Youtube crazes/novelty hits are starting to become too numerous, I'm not sure I'm on board with this one yet. That said, hearing this in a club must sound absolutely incredible.

Unfortunately it'll at least be top 3, but it's HORRIFIC.

I have an awful feeling this is going to #1 and stay there for a few weeks -_- I should plan my holiday now.

REALLY GOOD.

 

It was never really meant to be commercial though (God what an awful/pretentious thing to say), so unlike Gangnam Style, I doubt its popularity will carry beyond its videos.

 

Flosstradamus are better.

This makes me laugh :lol:

It's a brilliant song. I hope it goes #1 but I think top 5. The melody is very catchy, and I love that weird lion-roaring sound in it! :lol:

Won't leave my head.. the clubs are gonna go crazy for this!

I agree with you both - but as usual sod's law applies, the more I dislike a song, the bigger hit it'll be... :rolleyes:

 

Unfortunately the converse tends to apply, too. :(

...and go to another country where 'Harlem Shake' is taking off? :D

 

GUTTED

I bet this sounds great in a club [/HelterSkelter@ChC]

 

Anyway, I actually get why this is blowing up. What's not to love? I can imagine this being covered on X Factor later this year or maybe being the winners song, c'mon Cowell you know you want to - actually think they should have a eclectic music week, as well as TV Theme week on X Factor - that is a MUST.

 

Otherwise it'll just be bland Emile Sande tracks for week after week until she occupies every position in the Top 40.

I hear Emeli is currently recording 'Read All About It' (Pt XVI) so who knows how many versions she plans on recording in total. :no:

Oh I've already heard that , it leaked last week. It's got Professor Stephen Hawking on it, in place of Professor Green. It's no 'Read All About It (Part VIII)' :( (the one with H.P. Baxxter from Scooter shouting 'More haggis ayyyeeeeeeee').

My personal favourite was "Read All About It (Pt. XII)" featuring guest vocals from Dido, Leona Lewis and Susan Boyle :(

This song is just noise :unsure:

...so, yeah, I did my own version of this today with some friends :P I'm the one in the mask...

 

 

As a 30-second ditty it's perfect - and clever because by watching so many of the videos it's somewhat ingrained itself into my head. By the end of the three-minute song though it feels a little repetitive, having basically achieved everything it wants after the first minute or so. Not sure I'd have listened to it more than once had it not been for the videos.

 

It's refreshing at least to see something that seems so uncommercial getting such high a chart peak - in the noughties this would have got nowhere near the top 40!
