The Kansas basketball team became the latest group to make a Harlem Shake video this week in advance of its game against Texas on Saturday.
Like in the other Harlem Shake videos, one person, often masked, dances in the middle of the room while the people surrounding them pretend not to notice. Then, suddenly, everyone, often in different costumes, breaks out dancing.
Jayhawks head coach Bill Self even participated in his team?s Harlem Shake video, erasing basketball plays on a dry erase board and writing the words ?Harlem Shake? on it before his team started dancing.
?Those guys told me on Thursday, they said, ?Coach, we need your locker room at 2 o?clock,?? Self said after Kansas? 73-47 win over Texas this weekend. ?They wanted me to dance. And that wasn?t going to happen. Now I know I could?ve worn a chicken head and nobody would?ve known who I was. I didn?t know what the Harlem Shake was. They asked me to do what I did, which really, I?m sure, added a lot to the video. I do think it showed team unity. The other thing is that I think our fans like seeing that our guys are real. I think that?s what it does for us.?
When asked if Self thought that people would not have recognized him if he were dancing, even with a chicken head, he was sure he wouldn?t be identified.
?They wouldn?t have known,? Self said. ?Not if we were fully clothed. People would have said I was somebody else.?
The video, shown here, has been viewed nearly 400,000 times on YouTube.
