Is this where MJ got the idea from

I watched the 1980's movie The Blues Brothers the other night, not watched it in years and now have a HD copy on disc, it then occurred to me that in 1983 Michael Jackson did Billie Jean and the Thriller movie, now the Blues Brothers wore white socks, so did MJ, in a dance scene in the BB you can see a couple of dancers do something close to the moon walk, and another street dance scene reminded me of parts of the Thriller dance scenes.
Just one of my mad wonderings.

John Landis was the producer/director for The Blues Brothers and Michael Jackson's music videos.

That could explain it

I'll have to watch the film again not seen it for decades, I love James Brown in it.
