The lyrics to Baauer ft. TON!C & Knife Party & BL3ND's song "Harlem Shake" consist mostly of repeated phrases and ad-libs. The opening line "Con los terroristas" roughly translates to "with the terrorists" in Spanish, which some suggest may be a reference to a dance move called the 'terrorist' that originated in Spain in the early 2000s. The phrase is repeated throughout the song, followed by the instruction to "do the Harlem Shake". This is likely a reference to the Harlem Shake meme that was sweeping the internet at the time the song was released.
The rest of the lyrics consist of variations on the word "ey" and further instructions to "shake". While the lyrics themselves don't have any deep meaning or profound message, they simply serve to add to the frenzied and chaotic feeling of the song. The repetition of phrases and ad-libs create a hypnotic effect, encouraging listeners to join in and let loose.
