Below are my top 5 favorite Harlem Shake videos:

1. Original Army Edition – Just something about the military doing the Harlem Shake. The guy falling out the window is too funny.

2. The Original – Although not as crazy as the others, this started the craze.

3. Portland Edition – Awesome props from the horse head to the robot made of a cut out box.

4. Brother & Sister Edition – Picked this one because it show how simple it is to create your own version. Brother and sister were bored at home and came up with it in seconds.

5. Times Square Edition – This is two parts. It was selected because this guy had the B**ls to pull this off in the busiest intersection in the world even when the NYPD spoiled the fun. Funny to see the cops become part of the dance..
