*start video at 1:05*

"Smooth Criminal" is the 7th single from Michael Jackson's Bad album from 1987. The song is about a woman named Annie who is attacked in her apartment by an assaulter. In the music video, Jackson originally planned to have it set in a western genre but then decided to go with a 1930's nightclub scene. In the video, both the women and men are doing 1930's style dance moves. There is no sexualisation of any of the backup dancers. Both the women and men are just doing basic dance moves. There is no grinding or thrusting or anything of that kind.
