Smooth Criminal, You Rock My World and Dangerous are all inspired by this film.

'Smooth Criminal' was Michael's homage to Fred Astaire.

A little fun fact. One of the fashion models in the clip is Julie Newmar who was the original Catwoman in the Batman series.

Fred Astaire called Charisse "Beautiful dynamite". Here's another sample of her skill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKKsmIx3htB1mdU

Omg omg of you listen closely at 4:17 in what that voice is saying that where Michael Jackson’s says in his live performances in “dangerous”

Beyonce also used this ballet as inspiration for one of her songs, I think it's called Naughty Girl? Apparently Fred Astaire taught Michael Jackson how to tap dance. I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that The Bandwagon and the Girl Hunt ballet has definitely influenced a lot of artists.

Did you notice Julie Newmar in this clip

I think this precedes Michael Jackson by quite a few years!!! The master of dance
