The music industry has cursed and blessed us with many hit single dance crazes. Some songs, like the "Cha-Cha Slide" provide directions that guide the awkward middle schooler or the drunk wedding goer. Some dance crazes are not as logical. For instance the dancing that followed from the Harlem Shake. Often these dance routines came from music videos like Michael Jackson’s iconic dance moves in "Thriller." No matter where these scripted dances came from you and I have fallen on side of the dichotomy that is knowing the dance or not. How many of these dances do you know?

1. "Crank That" -- Soulja Boy Tell'em

2. "Macarena" -- Los Del Río

3. "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" -- Silenó
