Goodbye "Gangnam Style," hello "Harlem Shake."

The popular video craze has exploded in the past few days. A YouTube search brings up over 21,000 results for the latest video craze, including several videos shot at the University of Georgia.

So what exactly is the "Harlem Shake"? According to UPI.com, the roughly 30-second video productions typically start with just one dancer gyrating to DJ Baauer's 2012 "Harlem Shake" soundtrack. Then, when the bass line kicks in, a whole group of people -- often in costumes and frequently helmets -- join in a dance that can best be described as chaotic.
