Alien Ant Farm: "Smooth Criminal"; Director: Marc Klasfeld
Here's a video from around 2001 that really works well for the song. It takes the most recognizable bits of several different Michael Jackson videos and his personal life and incorporates them into this video in a fun way.

I vaguely remember this song seeming like a clever cover when it came out, now its an exercise in wincing and cringing. The performance from the kid in the yellow shirt completely upstages the band, and that's probably okay. I never understood the significance of the boxing ring in the backyard. Was that a Michael Jackson homage that I just can't place, or did they just think it would be cool to play in a boxing ring?
Dis and Wheatus's 'Teenage dirtbag' were the vangaurd ov nu metal back then
It is a good video, thanks!

Jackos Original is better.
Parts of the original were cheesy but it had some good parts too.

A misfire. The band strike me as caught: they'd like to retch up a parody but get stumped because actually the orignal song and video are better and they know it
