Kiki, the Harlem Shake, Fortnite, and other popular dance moves

 

"Kiki do you love me?"  On the track and quote "In My Feelings," which is causing a stir on social media, Drake asks. As one of the biggest rap superstars of the internet age, he's used to going viral, from smashing streaming records to dominating meme culture.

 Now his music has sparked the #inmyfeelings challenge, which involves, of all things, jumping out of a moving car and dancing.

 Unexpectedly, authorities from India, Spain, the United States, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates have warned that the dance challenge is risky. "#DistractedDriving is dangerous and can be deadly," tweeted the US National Transportation Safety Board.  "No dance competition is worth a life." The craze began when internet comedian Shiggy posted a video to Instagram of himself dancing to the song.

 It's unclear how this turned into jumping out of moving cars, but the internet follows its own rules. Here are five other times songs became challenges that took on a viral life of their own.Gangnam fashion In 2012, when the music video for Psy's single Gangnam Style went viral on YouTube, he became the unlikely face of K-pop. Its appeal to people all over the world was not due to the lyrical content written in Korean, but rather to its lighthearted tone and bewildering horse dance move, which quickly became a fixture on club dancefloors and at children's parties all over the world. However, there was depth beneath the immediate accessibility for those who cared to look.

Psy briefly made it big in America thanks to Gangnam Style's success. Its title references a rich neighbourhood in Seoul housing some of South Korea's biggest brands and wealthiest residents.

 The song's lyrics and video, on the other hand, deliver bitter satire mocking the rich elite's delusions. Grab the first shot. Psy is shown hungover on a sun lounger. However, he is stuck in a children's play area rather than recuperating on a luxurious private beach. There was a mistake. Your location does not have access to this content. 0:35

 Psy performed alongside Madonna at her concert in New York at Madison Square Garden. What about the horse's dance? That's claimed to be a damning assessment of the inaction over the wealth disparity - blindly riding the horse of commercialism.

 "The average Gangnam apartment costs about $716,000 [£545,000], a sum that would take an average South Korean household 18 years to earn," according to Businessweek. But you can also try it at a party or, if you're Ed Balls, on Strictly Come Dancing. It's a lot of fun. break in line Shake Harlem In 2013, a year after its release, New York DJ Bauer saw his dance track Harlem Shake skyrocket to success as a viral video trend. About 30 seconds were allotted for each video. For the first 15 seconds, one person - often masked or in a helmet - danced in front of apparently oblivious or uninterested people.

 As the bass started to drop, the video stopped, and all of a sudden there were a lot of people dancing frantically and in weird costumes and props on the screen. There was an error

 Annie Nightingale: The Harlem Shake can be anything you want it to be

 It spread like wildfire as a fun, visually appealing and unifying concept that, at its peak saw thousands of uploads a day.

 Humour aside, it went on to hold wider context - becoming a form of political protest after it was banned in Egypt.

 Others argued that it undermined the cultural roots of the original 1980s Harlem Shake dance, calling it cultural appropriation. line break

 simulated challenge John Lennon, not mannequins, served as the hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd's inspiration for their song Black Beatles, an ode to rap rock star culture. But then the internet had its way.  In October 2016 a group of students, believed to be from Ed White School in Jacksonville, Florida, captivated social media by filming themselves pretending to be frozen in time as Sremmurd's party ballad played in the background.

Sremmurd, comprised of brothers Khalif "Swae Lee" Brown and Aaquil "Slim Jxmmi" Brown, embraced the notoriety

 Videos of people recording their own versions quickly filled timelines. Although the track did not always feature due to its explicit nature, the trickle soon became a flood. Beyonce joined a long list of famous people who were adopted. Even presidential nominee Hillary Clinton jumped on the bandwagon, while the BBC newsroom filmed their own version for Children in Need.By December the craze reached outer space, with the crew of the International Space Station taking part.

 Yet the connection of the challenge to the song remains a mystery.  The music video for the song never shows anyone freezing, and the hook that many of the videos use as a starting point doesn't seem to have anything to do with mannequins. Sremmurd, which is made up of brothers Khalif "Swae Lee" and Aaquil "Slim Jxmmi" Brown, accepted the fame and finished their own take on the challenge at a November tour date in Denver with a packed house. line break

 Watch Me (Nae Nae/Whip) Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae), Silento's 2015 album, was a hit because of its catchy dance move, which propelled the 17-year-old artist to worldwide fame. The leg-shaking, arm-bending craze cracked YouTube's 10 most watched music videos of the year and captured the imagination of school kids worldwide, spawning countless imitations.

 According to DanceOn's CEO, Amanda Taylor, her team "tapped 50 members of its network to make their own variations on the video." As it turned out, the campaign's success was the result of careful planning. The song had already gained popularity on YouTube on its own, but in less than three months, those 50 partners drove 250 million views to their individual videos. Silento went on to sign a major label deal with Capitol Records, telling Billboard the DanceOn campaign was "one of the biggest factors in helping make my single a viral dance hit."

 World Cup 2018: Jesse Lingard scores a spectacular third goal for England

 During England's 6-1 victory over Panama, Lingard performed a Fortnite move to celebrate scoring the winning goal with a curling effort. However, the American rapper Blocboy JB, who popularized the move in his 2017 track Shoot, is where it got its start in popular culture. Fortnite performed well after the World Cup, which also saw Dele Alli perform the "Ride the Pony" dance when he scored against Sweden and France's Antoine Griezmann perform the "Loser" dance to commemorate one of his goals in the championship game.
