Rapper Wiz Khalifa stopped by the Miami Heat Youtube channel to watch them do the "Harlem Shake" meme. He seemed to be impressed, leaving a simple comment, "Awesome."
Harlem Shake is a completely remixed take on the original dance, of course. It bears no real resemblance, instead it involves a roomful of people doing ordinary things while someone is dancing by themselves oblivious to the world. Then, a break in the song signals everyone to suddenly dance wildly, usually wearing random costumes and doing different dance moves.
The song that underlies the phenomenon was created by Harry Rodrigues, known as Baauer. He created the song with a mechanical bassline and growling. It is easy to dance to, which partially explains its ease in spreading across the internet.
Internet vlogger "Filthy Frank" is credited with beginning the sensation by uploading a video of himself with friends dancing to the song.
