DePaul Does the 'Harlem Shake'
Students at Lincoln Park's DePaul University are "Harlem Shaking" it all over the neighborhood. We've rounded up several videos of the action.
Not a month goes by without the introduction of a new Internet fad that spreads like wildfire across all corners of the web before sputtering out into a slow, sad demise.
The latest viral sensation is called the "Harlem Shake" and it has prompted everyone from college swim teams to retirement homes to try their hand at a moment of Internet immortality.
The 30-second videos are simple enough. They usually start with a lone dancer and when the beat of the song drops, things get crazy.
