Ok…this is so super funny! Check it out and watch it.
On another note, I have no idea where I was in the 80′s (okay I do but I will explain that one later) but I just discovered what an amazing dancer Michael Jackson was. I always think of him as a super creepy dude whose face is totally fucked up or as a cute little dude who sang with the Jackson Five. But I missed that whole middle Billie Jean and Thriller period. That’s because at the beginning of the 80′s I was in boarding school and we didn’t have any TV’s and then when I went to college I was in New York in the 80′s which just meant a lot of going out to clubs every night doing whatever people offered me (stay away from that kids) and dancing and generally getting home around 6 am and trying to sleep through some massive teeth grinding if you get my drift.
What that meant was that I really wasn’t watching TV and, besides, all I had was a little 13 inch black and white thingy that I bought for like 40 bucks at Crazy Eddy’s so I could occassionally watch a little something when I happened to be home and awake. Si I was mostly listening to club music anyway or Jonathon Richmond and Violent Femmes or things that were just, in general, much edgier and less mainstream that Michael Jackson because, at the time, I was trying just too hard to be cool and different and edgy and eccentric (I think I still try too hard for that, by the way).
So the thing is that I think in all of that I missed out because, in fact, Michael Jackson is a ridiculously good dancer. And the amazing thing is that his dancing holds up today. Him dancing 20 years ago looks modern. Compare that to what hte Solid Gold Dancers were doing at the time.
Anyway, so you have all probably seen these since I was apparently hiding under some sort of NY hipster, club going rock in the 80′s but here are some cool Michael Jackson dancing videos:

Michael Jackson have lived-up to be the best pop artist of the history, i really admire his talent in singing and dancing ~’~
