Last night I witnessed one of the more amusing things I've seen at Yale in a while. The Harlem Shakes played a show in Ezra Stiles College along with Girl Talk, a Pittsburgh based D.J. whose wildly eclectic dance-beats sample everything from Nirvana to Dipset. About five minutes into the show, the stage was rushed and Girl Talk was thrown into the arms of the crowd, where he hung suspended for the majority of his set. (I thought crowd-surfing was a thing of the 90's, but who am I to judge...) In the last moments of the show, with Girl Talk hanging in the air, stripped to his underwear and screaming into the mic, he managed to articulate a thoughtful message to the crowd of sweaty Yalies: "I'm glad you guys have made it this far. You'll all have a big fucking impact on the world!" With that said, he fell to the ground.
