On Tuesday, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau included in her State of the City address a nod to growing Nashua-based companies adding jobs to the local economy within the high-tech sector, including FLIR Systems. FLIR is what the name implies, a manufacturer of Forward Looking Infrared Systems, used in enterprise, security and defense.

Whether purely coincidental, or part of the company-wide celebration for the mayoral props, FLIR has launched its own "Harlem Shake" video with an infrared twist, posted here.

FLIR Marketing Media Specialist Vatche Arabian says this, about that:

"We saw all the other ones and we thought that we'd be able to do a great and unique one using one of our Science Grade Thermal Cameras - it was definitely a team effort, a few of us were talking about it and decided we'd do it the next day. We brought in some props and took 20 minutes out of people's lunch hours to film the video. It was a fun little side project, everyone who participated had a blast!"

For the uninitiated, the Harlem Shake is a legitimate dance that originated out of Harlem, NY, in the 1980s and went more mainstream in 2001 when featured in a hip-hop song called "Let's Get It."

Fast forward to 2013, when a viral outbreak of Harlem Shake videos took over social media, after a 2012 song by music producer Baauer, titled "Harlem Shake," was included in a YouTube video meme that has inspired a legion of others to follow suit.

FLIR's colorful twist on this trend is likely just the beginning.
