Michael Jackson said “everybody knows that Charlie Chaplin is a genius, and he’s my inspiration“ Charlie Chaplain does a sort of forward and backward “Moonwalk“ here. Michael Jackson’s Billy signature Moonwalk song. Buster Keaton and others join the party in this edited with much “artistic licence“ comedic sketch. It’s a fascinating thing how dance moves progess in pop culture. MJ loved to watch some of the Silent Film stars dance. It is not a stretch to believe that he got inspiration for some of his moves from them. “The moonwalk or backslide is a dance technique that presents the illusion that the dancer is stepping forward whilst actually moving backward. The dance move gained widespread popularity after being performed by Michael Jackson on the 1983 television special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, and has since become his signature move.[1] The moonwalk has since become the best known dance move in the world.[2
