Three Lions Joins 'Harlem Shake' Meme

The North Oakland Avenue British pub celebrated two years in Shorewood last weekend by having a little fun with the "Harlem Shake."

Three Lions Pub caught the "Harlem Shake" fever last weekend — on its birthday no less. The North Oakland Avenue British pub commemorated two years in Shorewood by having a little fun and joining the Internet meme. Harlem Shake is the latest Internet meme, "with people everywhere grabbing a bunch of friends, schoolmates, colleagues, or whomever, really, and having a 30-second dance extravaganza," as Slate put it. The Atlantic Wire also has a good run-down of the Harlem Shake. USA Today has an article explaining the key ingredients of a good Harlem Shake. Do we understand it? Not really. Are they funny to watch? Absolutely.
