Showbiz Pizza's in-house robotic band, Rock-afire Explosion, always creeped me out as a kid. I recently stumbled across a music vid the group released for their cover of "Smooth Criminal" and thought I'd give the group another chance to redeem themselves. Big mistake.
Play Fred Astaire's moves to Michael Jackson's grooves and the end effect is nothing but badass. Astaire, with his dapper good looks and command of the dance floor, was something of a "Smooth Criminal" back in the day. The man was a show stopper and scene stealer, but he's sharing the spotlight with Jacko this time around.
Last week, I discovered this nightmare-inducing music vid of Showbiz Pizza's robotic house band, Rock-afire Explosion, singing "Smooth Criminal." The band recently made an Internet comeback, and their vids are now unavoidable. Check out their rendition of Usher's "Love in This Club."
