Chicken noodle soup?

The article states that the harlem shake evolved into the chicken noodle soup dance, but I don't see any connection between these two styles/techniques besides both originating from Harlem. - Wintran 08:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

This article was written by idiots. My god! Read books people. You are functionally illiterate.

It didn't evolve into the Chicken noodle soup at all. Also, it became popular with "Who's That Girl" by Eve which came out before "Let's Get It" 24.63.133.140 02:02, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Can someone write a better description of how to do the harlem shake? I have no idea what it is; I came here to find out, and the description is no use at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.103.201.244 (talk) 22:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

This makes no sense

I came to this article hoping to find out what the Harlem Shake is and how to do it. I have no idea how to perform this even after having read the description though a number of times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.2.161 (talk) 23:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

i removed the "how it's done" section (which was completely uninformative anyway) until it can be done in compliance with wikipedia composition and style standards.

Also, WP:NOTHOWTO. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

With regards to the "Not How To" link - it doesn't need to give step by step instructions, but the basic movements of a dance are fairly important in a description of what a dance actually is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.195.151 (talk) 07:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Baauer - Harlem Shake; YouTube Videos

The Bauer article may soon need a link to this article in its See also section, because Baauer's (yes, double-a) song Harlem Shake is becoming fairly popular. And, obviously, this article would then also need to mention the recent YouTube craze. --82.170.113.123 (talk) 16:54, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Couple of links: the Know Your Meme page here, Reddit thread here, CollegeHumor page here. --82.170.113.123 (talk) 17:06, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Add section on recent meme?

Perhaps someone could add a section on the Harlem Shake meme that became popular in early February 2013?

Difference between dance and video

The Harlem Shake dance is not the same as the dance in the video, and has a different cultural context than the meme. The video and meme deserve their own page.

The actual dance is hilariously demonstrated on YouTube
