i got one question though.... why's it called the moon walk.
SurfHill
Cause that is what we called it when M tv still showed videos, that's why! Now get off my lawn!!!
Danielmakesmusicitsgreat
was originally called the backslide in the 70s as a bboy move, MJ named it moonwalk, the move is far older, jazz dancers did it in the 30s
SuchRelevantMuchRelate
u got bleach ur skin and go to heaven and ask MJ youself
it was Bill Bailey who first pulled this motherfucker out. they called it something different though. Mike ripped it off like a kids pants
haha it's funny cuz he was pedo.....wait nvm no it isn't
him and jared from subway are gonna be best buds soon.
nickg131
Bill Bailey? (Sarcasm...I know you mean the tap dancer from the 30s and 40s)
you sure they aren't the same guy? i've never seen them in the same place at the same time....
That's a very good point...and Angelina Jolie there, that pic I linked, does have some pretty sweet dance moves...(hope you get reference)
conbuzzi
because it gives a feeling of the person being weightless simply sliding backwards as if floating.
i'm not buying that bullshit you're sellin'
umpbumpfizz
I found this to be humorous and not worthy of downvotes.
Nochillphil
I also found this to be the case.
i'm not convinced you are not a doubting asshole asking a question and then loudmouthing the person that at least tried to answer.
you're answer was legit. the original name "backslide" just makes more sense.
after reading it my answer sounds far too harsh. note to self: think first, then type. i am sorry for that.
