Music

Happy New Years. Sure the Harlem Shakes have been showcased before as Song of the Day recipients but the lyrics are just too good to pass up come new years after a shitty year. “This will be a better year. Make a little money, take a lot a shit, feel real bad then get over it.” It doesn’t hurt that the accompanying music is a wonderful blend of the slightly nasally vocals of Lexy Benaim and a flat out bouncy, upbeat melody that lifts with its sheer happiness. Harlem Shakes let it be known that dancing is encouraged and how could you not with such a strong drum beat and happy go lucky feeling the song brings with it.
