Dad, Baby Get Down to Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’

Father and son duo go viral after super-cute video hits the Internet

Dad, Baby Get Down to Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’

Parenting can be exhausting, but with a little creativity it can also be hilarious. Just ask Adam Ballard. He and his baby son Miles are internet famous after a “sleep-deprived” Ballard found himself recording an adorable Michael Jackson-inspired baby dance session.

“That particular day, Miles was being super fussy,” Ballard told USA Today. “I took the phone out and thought maybe I can do a dancing video.”

In the video, 4-month-old Miles is strapped into a baby carrier and with dad’s help he boogies down to MJ’s “Beat It.”

Of course, no Michael Jackson choreography would be complete without a moonwalk or two and his famous anti-gravity lean. It’s all there. 

Watch Miles’ video here.

While Miles was the one to go viral first, his older sister Zoey definitely paved the way for his fame when she was still a baby.

Watch her get down to this MC Hammer classic below.
