The lyrics to the song Harlem Shake by Baauer are quite minimalistic and repetitive, and due to this, it's a bit difficult to provide a specific interpretation of the song as a whole. The song features a beat that starts with a sampled voice of someone saying "Con los terroristas," which translates to "With the terrorists." The beat and the bassline then kick in, and the song continues with variants of the phrase "Tas tas tas," while the beat carries the momentum forward. The song naturally invites people to shake their bodies and dance, which is the primary purpose of the Harlem Shake.
But if we insist on trying to derive meanings from the lyrics, there are a few things we can say. The phrase "Con los terroristas" could be seen as a provocative line that aims to grab attention, but in all actuality, it's a quirky and random line that doesn't have any ulterior motive. The primary focus of the song is the hard-hitting bassline, and the repetitive phrases are just there to complement the melody. The rest of the lyrics are essentially just invitations to the listener to dance and shake their bodies.

They were shaking at the bars, they were shaking at college, they were shaking at work, they were shaking on the streets. In terms of the bird is the word, the bird did the Harlem Shake
