This is Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm. Though we all know that the magnificent Micheal Jackson was the original singer of this song, AAF does a great adaptation. In this video it goes back from day to night. In the life of AAF there always partying but, I love this video because it includes everyone. It doesn't just have Girls shaking every inch of her body. It has guys with mullets, old guys doing the thriller dance, diaper wearing monkeys and a conveniant light up sidewalk on the front lawn, a perfect world. one stereotyhpe that is shoved in your face though is the little kid with the bandana over his face doing some little "gangsta swagga dance". the bandana over the face is a huge stereotype when it comes to gangsters. another good example is that the band members are doing all the moves that Micheal was known for. I believe the creed for this song is simple: Annie are you ok? because you were just hit by a smooth criminal. Values shown are mainly everyone can party whether you have a mullet, a bandana over your face or if your a monkey, were all equal and have the right to party. I think this video would appeal to teenagers mainly because of its complete randomness. So many things happen in this video that you have to watch it a few times to get every detail of it. It's also entertaining because of its randomness like, I know I have already brought it up but, how can a monkey wearing a diaper not be hilarious. In conclusion I believe this is a good video because it shows completly different groups of people partying at the same time loving life and keeping Micheal Jacksons beats close to our hearts.
