Songs

"Harlem Shake" is a 2012 debut single by American DJ and producer Baauer. Described as trap, hip-hop or bass music, it uses a mechanical bassline, Dutch house synth riffs, a dance music drop, growling-lion samples, and a vocal sample from Plastic Little's "Miller Time". A 2013 YouTube meme increased its sales. The song spent five consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
