Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BAAUER/SLIDER/MAGNIT's song "Harlem Shake" contain a repetitive chorus of "Con los terroristas" which means "with the terrorists" in Spanish. This phrase is followed by a series of rhythmic "tas" sounds and then the call to "do the Harlem Shake." The verses in between are mainly filled with more "tas" sounds and calls to shake.

The meaning behind the phrase "Con los terroristas" has been subject to much interpretation and controversy. Some argue that it is simply a meaningless phrase added for its catchy sound, while others insist that it is a reference to a dance move popular in South America called the "terrorist dance." However, many people also associate the phrase with the negative connotation of terrorism, leading to criticism of the song and its use of the phrase.

Despite the potential controversy, "Harlem Shake" became a viral sensation in 2013, with countless videos of people performing the dance popping up online. Its infectious beat and catchy chorus made it a hit around the world, and it has since become a popular party song and meme.
