Brother Sends Video Of Tiny “Michael Jackson” Getting His Groove On To Family Group Chat

Images show a new dad with his baby in a front-facing backpack carrier helping his baby "dance" to a Michael Jackson song.

Some people get weird when they become parents. Annie Romano is a TikTok user who shares her life on social media. When her brother turned his new baby into a tiny Michael Jackson and sent a video to the family chat group, she decided it was too good not to share.

While wearing the baby in a front-facing baby backpack carrier, he manipulates his son’s feet to “dance.” Her brother’s video begins with the baby “marching” onto the screen. Each intentional step matches the beat of the background music. When the pace picks up, and we recognize Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” the baby (with help) exercises some pretty fancy footwork.

The young dad made sure his son hit each step in the routine. Then came the moonwalk. If you weren’t laughing before this, you were laughing after seeing the baby “perform” trademark Michael Jackson move.

The simulated moonwalk was an excellent addition to the show. The dance continued with the young father not missing one beat of the popular Michael Jackson hit. When it came time for arm movements, Annie’s brother shifted his grip to raise his son’s arms individually.

Annie’s brother nailed every move with the baby. He even managed to simulate the signature gravity-defying forward lean that Michael Jackson did so well. No one in the family knows why he felt compelled to do this, but the internet is not sad about it. The original video has gone viral and has been shared over 2.6 million times. Thank you, Annie, for sharing your brother’s silliness with the world.

Please share this amazingly silly baby “dancing” to Michael Jackson. It may brighten someone’s day like it did ours.
