So may we agree that the Harlem Shake thing is done? That was February 2013. Now do something else. ---

It’s been March 2013 for more than half a day for me, and the Harlem Shake never happened for me last month. ---

Well, I tend to find out about these things just as they’re dying, and someone showed me the Harlem Shake videos just yesterday, so yea, its probably done. ---

You’ll have to talk to Billboard magazine first - [it’s currently in its second week as #1 on the Hot 100.](http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100) ---

How is Harlem Shake even a thing? It’s only got 20+ million views, there is nothing new or special about it. It’s only a video of people doing random stuff. The only good thing about it is it’s ridiculously easy to make. ---
