What's better? Gangnam Style or Harlem Shake?

What is better? The Korean Gangnam Style dance by the one and only PSY, or the hilarious Harlem Shake by... I don't know? It doesn't matter, what's better? I like Harlem shake.

I prefer Gangnam Style. I liked the beginning of the Harlem Shake song, but people doing idiotic things with it kind of ruined it for me. I know that's the point and all...but...meh.

Gangnam Style is a good song that comes with a unique choreographed dance.

 

Harlem Shake is a terrible song that is only known for the first 30 seconds (the rest seems to be exactly the same as that so you're not missing much) with a "dance" consists of two moves, specifically "Do nothing" and "Flail randomly."

 

That said, there's a lot more room for Harlem Shake videos to be unique on their own due to the simple premise and open format. It doesn't really matter what group does Gangnam Style it's always the same. Harlem Shake is only USUALLY the same (and when it is, it's very much less entertaining than Gangnam Style).

 

Basically, Gangnam Style is better, but Harlem Shake can bring you variations like

personally neither i don't like either of them they have become so overused as of late that all comedic value was lost after the first month or so

This, honestly. I did like Gangnam Style at first but after so many jokes and hearing it so many times the value of the song kind of diminished altogether.

 

 

 

And don't get me started on the Harlem Shake...

There's just no point to it, imo...

South Korean K-pop all the way! laugh.png

I know many might think it's over-used and stuff, but think about. When people remember 2012, everyone will remember Gangnam style. It has kinda become the music of 2012.

Which is better? Well, between Gangdam Style and the Harlem Shake, Id have to say that getting hit by a truck is better.

 

But really, If I must choose, Harlem Shake is infinitely better. Dont know im right? Go to youtube, type in "do the harlem shake", and watch the magic

Harlem Shake. The stupidity of it makes it funny! One person dancing, and then like 50 doing some sorts of wierd seizures. But there actually are things that occur everytime. For Example, the first person to start the Harlem Shake is usually wearing a hard hat, or helmet.

Also, there's usually one person humping the wall, if there is one to be seen.

I have never seen Gangnam Style, nor do I plan to. Why bother if I can't even understand what he's saying? tongue.png

Anyways, it's so run down into the ground that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

 

Same goes for the Harlem Shake.

Gangnam Style.

The dance may be silly, and I don't understand a single word of it, but at least it's a wonderful piece of Korean absurdity.

I used to like and do both. But then too many people doing it, got annoying, now I don't like either. But I'd say Harlem Shake, because you can do something stupid and no one would care because thats what you're suppose to do! :derp:

I don't want to seem like that bitter person, but neither of them are that great. I do not understand how Gangnam Style received so many views when it isn't that funny or addictive. Harlem Shake was alright at first until people starting doing stupid things with it. So I guess I'd pick Harlem Shake.

Neither both songs are way over-hyped and quite frankly suck... I think Gangnam Style is funny so since it does that for me I will say Gangnam Style only because it is somewhat humorous. Otherwise I hate both songs :X


 

 

I have never seen Gangnam Style,

You sir are a caveman if you have never seen Gangnam Style xD.... You should deserve a medal by the Guinness records people. I mean I didn't even try to know/hear about this song and yet I still did to others around me :P

If I had to choose between Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake, I would have to go with Gangnam Style. Harlem Shake, well, is hilarious and all, but I don't seem to like how you only go on all-random movements looking like an idiot and something like that.

The only thing either song has going for them is the catchyness. Neither are exceptionally brilliant songs, but Gagnam Style has more creativity going for it. As someone already said, Harlem shake is basically a 30 second song that's on replay for however long the full song is.

Geico Caveman FTW!

 

also, I never saw Harlem Shake...but I've seen Gangam Style...my first opinion of it was: blink.png , but the beat to it, was like :yay: I never did understand the lyrics, but it's quite catchy...and the fact, that it's got Belibers in an uproar, because PSY appears to be more popular than Bieber (then again, a jar of mayo's more popular than him. XD), makes it that much more better. :P


Hey look here...beavers! You better hide your wives, hide your husbands, and look here, both of you, hide your kids, cause we're coming!

Isn't it practically the same garbage? Both of them are stupid dances that looks like you're having a seizure or you're riding an invisible horse, like some sort of lunatic. And on top of that, both dances had their comedic value lost short after the songs/dances were created
