did billy ocean really invent the moon-walk?

because i was always under the impression that it was a michael jackson thing. but i was just watching everybody hates chris and his little sister asked his big brother to teach her to moon walk like billy ocean. it sparked a debate ending up with her saying that billy ocean invented the moon walk and michael jackson stole it! is that true!?!?!

 

No, Neil Armstrong did.

 

No, Lance Armstrong did.

 

No wait, I just remembered, Louis Armstrong did.

 

No, Stretch Armstrong did.

 

It could've been Craig Armstrong.

 

no guys, i'm pretty sure it was joan armatrading.

 

My brother had a Stretch Armstrong. After a while it tore open and a whole lot of toxic looking crap oozed out.

 

Sounds like my friday night.

 

Did your brother invent the moon-walk? No.
Stop derailing this thread George Roper.

 

Sorry.

btw, it wasn't Lance Armstrong. It was Lance Bass.

 

after some additional research i'm pretty sure it was either man at arms, armenian_jedi or sir lancelot.

 

I did. Bow down before me!

 

word my cous had one and when we got bored we destroyed it. good times.

 

so it was billy ocean then!

 

The move is based on a classic Jean-Louis Barrault pantomime exercise "Walking" (as featured in the 1945 film Children of Paradise) with some of the Pantomimes de Style technique Marche Contre Le Vent ("Walk against the wind", developed by Marcel Marceau in the 1950s) thrown in. Although when laypersons think of the moonwalk they think of the signature Michael Jackson move, Jackson merely tweaked it for the Motown 25 Concert, where he debuted it during his famous "Billie Jean" routine.

Way to kill all the hilarious replies and actually answer the question Jeff. Yeesh.

 

It's okay, the humor was declining with the later posts anyways.

 

That's how every story involving a Stretch Armstrong ends. To the best of my knowledge, there are no known Stretch Armstrongs on the planet to have survived more than 6 weeks.

 

It was just Corn Syrup with red dye
It's no more toxic,than most of the
drinks and candies and frozen snacks
that contain the stuff.

Toxic looking...

 

obviously, billy ocean invened the moonwalk.

 

No, Billy Ocean got out of your dreams and into his car along with Neil Armstrong, Louis Armstrong, Stretch Armstrong, Lance Armstrong, Lance Bass, Sir Lancelot, and Lancelot Link Secret Chimp.

 

Did he do it while playing his trumpet at the same time?
