Check out our round-up of the best Harlem Shake covers.
The latest craze to sweep the internet is a series of 30 second videos with people going crazy to the 'Harlem Shake'.
The 30 second video clips start with one person dancing calming to Baauer's 2012 song 'Harlem Shake' but when the music kicks in it all kicks off.
So far videos have been uploaded by teens in schools and colleges, firemen in their trucks, offices around the world, television news teams and factories where staff have been getting down to the sound of the 'Harlem Shake'.
Notching up millions of views on YouTube, the meme has been so popular that 'Harlem Shake' is now flying up the iTunes chart and it's looking like it could be a top 10 hit for Baauer on this Sunday's Vodafone Big Top 40.
