Not so long ago I blessed you with my discovery of the Jerkin Dance Craze. As part of the 'Dance series' I now bring you the robot. An oldy, but a goody goody gumdrops.
'The robot is simply the illusion of being a robot. Movements of the robot are normally started and finished with a dimestop (a very abrupt stop), to give the impression of motors starting and stopping, but poppers have also been known to do the robot with a pop to the beat. As long as the illusion of being a robot is maintained, it is considered the robot.'
It originated in the 60's by way of Charles Washington, but made famous by Mr Micheal Jackson's Dancing Machine.
Check out this dude, he's a freak! It looks like he is disjointing himself.
