How have I not seen this before!! We are big time Michael Jackson Fans ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥FOLLOW KAE AND LIVY MAIN CHANNEL th-cam.com/channels/iK66EbGpVVsXAvig8-W6Pg.html
A.A.F. sent this video to M.J. prior to its release and he loved it. M.J. gave them a copyright clause to use that allowed A.A.F to record and release the song as long as it credited M.J. at the end of the video and record of A.A.F's studio album. Same as M.J. did with Weird Al.
These guys and Micheal were fans of each other, when Micheal passed they were asked to play at the memorial service and memorial concerts. There use to be videos here on TH-cam of those performances.
They're not old enough to have seen a steady stream of MJ videos on MTV for years like some of us. But you're right, there are a bunch of them here. I think they noticed the lighted sidewalk like Billie Jean.
Michael Jackson loved all types of music. Even though he was a pop artist, his friendships in the rock, rap, metal, country, and international artist are felt to this day. Same thing in dancing or any form of entertaining people you should always strive to reach out to people to move them. Love your videos ✌ N ❤
It’s a great, tight, jam of a cover. I think people often overlook Jackson’s rock grooves and mistakenly group him in with R&B automatically, but he crowned himself the King of Pop, and he experimented with many styles - and “Smooth Criminal” has a hard-driving rock beat that’s conducive to AAF’s thrashy, garage-band-like sound.
Alright.. let's pull out the easter eggs for ya! 1:27 and 1:46 The kid is wearing a mask, like how Michael wore one later on in life. And if you notice, he's roughly the same age Michael was when they started with the Jackson 5. 2:05 and 3:31 the lean. Everyone catches that. 3:50 The girl is in a high school letterman's jacket and wearing a wolf mask. Throwback to Thriller when Michael changed into the werewolf. 4:15 and 4:19 shoutout to the four dads from the TV show "King of the Hill" 4:21 to 4:30 Drummers may wear gloves to protect the senses in their hands from going numb from the drumsticks. Note that the drummer here is only wearing 1 glove on his right hand. The same hand that Michael wore his glove on. 5:28 He's sitting with a chimpanzee. The chimp is wearing a diaper, like Bubbles, Michael's chimp, did. 5:37 The sidewalk lights up wherever they are stepping. Throwback to Billie Jean. 6:00 Straight from the extended version of the video for Black or White. Michael jumped on the car, did that, and then destroyed the car. 6:08: King of the hill guys with the Thriller moves. 6:12 Michael always stood on that vent to have the air blow up from under him. Here you go. 6:22 to 6:36 More throwback to Billie Jean. Everything Michael touched lit up. 9:00 Throwback to the end of Thriller, when Michael turned back toward the camera and had the werewolf eyes. Good stuff in this video!
Ya missed the chair was a sequined glove, and the Liz Taylor tattoo... other than that, I don't notice any more. I always thought it would've been really cool if Mike had done a cameo, maybe reveal at the end, say something smart alecky to the band.... but still love it. Better than anything I could've dreamed up.
Also; 1. The Asian girls - in the original Smooth Criminal video, there was an Asian girl as the main female character. 2. The kid does the moonwalk. 3. At the end of the video, the singer shortens his trousers and has white socks on... just like MJ. 4. The flag of MJ in the background when he jumps on the car. 5. The kid looks like Macauley Culkin. 6. The singer is wearing the same colour blue top as MJ's shirt in the original video. 7. The kid has an ET tee shirt on.
I just remembered the split screens when Michael is moving on the sidewalk squares in Billy Jean. They did the same split screens sequence here. There's also the huge Elizabeth Taylor back tattoo at the very end, which referred to his close friendship with her. He was a huge fan of hers and they bonded over their horrible childhoods as they were both child stars. She remained loyal to him until his death and they're buried close to each other.
Yeah, GREAT song! Yes A.N.F. received the "OKAY" from M.J. himself and even performed 'Their Cover' for him. After M.J. watched it He loved it and gave them the 'Go Ahead'... Thats what i have heard.. Sounds bout right I.D.K. ... But A.N.F.s guys were ALL reportedly BIG M.J. fans forever, going back to the 'Jackson 5 Days'... Yeah Brah, ya 'Got M.J.s KICK Down To A SCIENCE!!! LMBO GREAT JOB!!!
Fun fact : When Jackson saw the video, he asked that a scene with a boy in a surgical mask be removed, because it made fun of his medical condition. They took it out, but Jackson decided he liked it the way it was. In the end, there were 2 videos, one with the mask, one without
I can't believe you missed so many Michael Jackson tributes in this video! Were you NOT PAYING ATTENTION??? You missed the guy sitting in a silver glove chair. Michael used to wear a silver glove. The lead singer jumping on top of the car and the windows blow out. Tribute to Billie Jean. There were tributes in there for Thriller. The lighted sidewalk is another Billie Jean tribute. And so much more that you missed. Next time you react to a video, try paying attention.
You don't need permission to cover a song, as long you don't do substancial changes to the lyrics or the melody (you do need permission for samples, at least if it's more than tiny bits I guess). Of course the writers and composers (or whoever holds the rights) get their royalties but they cannot forbid a cover version.
Yeah Michael Jackson smooth criminal cover! Just MY opinion: Michael Jackson is one of the best performers ever! My daughter, she is 6, she loves his music. He had so many great titles, like Smooth Criminal. Bad, Black and White , Beat It! Man they where songs! I love Michael Jackson, even if its not my kind of music, but the man deserves respect! A great performer and a great singer! Michael Jackson RIP!
My son REFUSED to believe me when I told him it was a Micheal Jackson cover. I can still remember his mouth hanging open as I pointed out every MJ reference in this video and everything copied from MJ's video to show the quality of performance
The exploding car windows bit at 5:26 was a reference to the full length 'Black or White' music video. It actually caused a bit of controversy when it first came out due to the vandalism and sexual innuendo (i.e.-the extended dance sequence after the song ends). th-cam.com/video/pTFE8cirkdQ/w-d-xo.html
@Dean Bros in 1990 or so, for the Talent Show in Elementary School, Me and My buddy danced to Bad by Michael Jackson. Sucked, was horrible looking back, dumb kid's. But I nailed the Moonwalk at the end of the song ;-) I was 8 yrs old I think, bout to be 39? or 40? Idk born in 82' whatever :-P
hello my name is Mariusz I am from Poland, I like your channel yotube, michael jacson is my idol, I have heard various songs by maichel jackson. Alien ant farm they did this song well in their own way I like it very much, it's great that you brought up this topic, greetings from Polish :) :)
For musicians to make a cover of a song for a recording on their album they must get permission from the original artist and quite possibly give a percentage of the profits.
Your audio double up. Make sure that you keep your voice recording separate during the playback. Or careful with mic settings. The most likely culprit is that your mic picked up on the audio and you doubled up with adding the music audio.

Alien ant farm but no offspring songs yet? It's like you all are missing the mark on purpose.
Lmao you 2 are funny but hilarious, lots of love guys
They did this when Mike was still alive. He loved it.

Word has it that they got permission from Micheal Jackson to do a cover of it because they were fans of his music
Michael had a good sense of humor about his music. I mean look at how many times he let weird al parody him.
@@Aaron-io8vw That's very true
@@Aaron-io8vw the band had said that Michael banned them from playing at his icon award ceremony.
@@FdotStizzy lol
🤦♂️
Theres 2 big reasons I watch this channel
😁
You,me, and many other guys!
@@bryanparenteau374 yes!😄
Even when the sound wasn’t in sync.. there were two great, big reasons I kept watching.
And many guys who continue to return to this channel.

MJ signed off on using it. He even reviewed the video and gave them feedback. FYI, he loved this!
That’s what planet earth is...an Alien Ant Farm! Lol
She definitely takes her vitamins 😍

I think you almost caught her , when she was laughing. But I'm glad you reacted to this nineties cover, cool reaction D bros.
Lmao smooth Crinimal. You gotta listen to your girl man.
She is really some eye candy. Smooth click baiting job.
From what I understand MJ loved this version.

Michael Jackson was still alive. I'm sure he gave the 👍 for the cover.

Great band!! Saw them live twice with 311. Please do more AAF songs!
Beautiful dress.
Michael Jackson approved this
yo the kid is ready for covid 2:46
I'm still saying drop everything and check out "Human" by Rag N' Bone Man. I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.

King of pop cover
I love this version
Please react to "Ghost Love Score" (live at Wacken) by Nightwish.
There's a video of M J giving them full permission.
Great job guys. I love your cute honest reactions. 👍🏽
I think I broke my hip trying to do the kick...
Excellent , Dean !!! (Ali, Belgium, Europe)
Trying to do the kick is like trying to do the moonwalk. Michael Jackson is the only one who can do it.
I'm here because of the thumbnail :)
Yeah, like a deer caught in the "headlights "!
OMG je kiiiiffff grave merci les adorables fans le king of music j'adore cette version 🙏👍👏💖😱😘
So much joy between y’all. Great reaction!! Love your vids. Keep on being supah awesome!
