Dancing to Billie Jean

Despite my best intentions, it is entirely possible this video is funny only to me and those people who know my son. However, I’m willing to take the risk. The video is only a minute forty seconds and I sorta dare you not to smile a single time.

Here’s Max, dancing to Billie Jean.

Enjoy!

  3. Ok, first, he’s in a onesie…which is AWE-TO-THE-SOME.

    Second, he is rocking it!! I was pretty happy to see him finally lose the stick because the jerky arm movements are the precursor to the pop-n-lock. Pop-n-lock!!!

    Thank you for sharing this!!

      Yeah, I wish I could wear a onesie, but I totally can’t pull it off. The pencil was his “microphone,” but I agree – the dance got way better once he lost it.

      My pleasure, Hayden. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

  5. ROFLOL.. now that was fun…:)

    • Sean says:

      Ha, thanks Janice! Yeah, I can’t stop smiling when I see that little man go. He just takes it so seriously and tries so hard while the music is on, but then collapses into fits of giggles as soon as it stops. Too funny.

    Dude, the boy can dance. Seriously, I though about the onesie too and felt it really added to his ‘style’. His focused look made me smile, no doubt.

    Thanks for sharing this gem with us Sean. :-) Eric

      Hey yo! I think everyone has my sister to thank. She was feeling down and so I sent it to her. Then I decided I should probably just go ahead and post it here as well. I’m glad I did though. He’s watched it a few times and it makes him ridiculously happy.

    You got me. I couldn’t help but smile through the whole thing. You know these are the kind of videos they show on So You Think You Can Dance, when they introduce the dancers, personally. Who knows, Max may be there someday doing the Billie Jean dance on the big screen.

    Of course if you don’t watch So You Think You Can Dance, you have no clue what I am speaking about. LOL

    • Writer Dad says:

      I don’t watch the show, but I do listen to my mother talk about it once a week at dinner! And yup, video is forever so little Max is probably gonna be pretty sad with me when his high school girlfriend sees this!

      LOL, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It made me really happy to post it. I originally sent the video to my sister who was feeling sad, but then ended up putting it on here. The little man loves knowing that he is on YouTube.
