Belgium radio station creates Eternal Moonwalk website as tribute to Michael Jackson

 

Studio Brussel, a publicly funded radio station in Belgium also known at StuBru, has created a very unique website as a tribute to Michael Jackson. The site is called Eternal Moonwalk and is a video slideshow of people, animals and inanimate objects doing Michael Jackson’s signature move. Each video clip is about 6 seconds long and a counter keeps track of the number of meters traveled as you watch. A continuos music loop plays as a soundtrack and you can click on a series of buttons to add the various exclamations that Jackson was famous for.

There are currently over a thousand video clips on the site, each with a unique number. When you see one you really like, take note of the number. Then, whenever you want to see that clip again, enter the number in the search box and it will go into the queue to play among the next few videos. You can also submit your own moonwalk video to add to the collection. If you don't know how to moonwalk, this short instructional video will teach you. 

In the time it took to write this, some of my favorites were #764 depicting The Beatles moonwalking across Abbey Road, #114 a Guinness beer doing the moonwalk and #1287 a guy named Roydrigo who actually does one of the better moonwalks on the site. Be warned, this is one of those websites that can be very addictive.
