Impersonating Michael Jackson

Since Michael Jackson's unexpected death on June 25, the pop music legend's 20-year-old music videos have shot to the top of the Internet's viral video charts. But what about the videos of people who are just pretending to be Michael Jackson? From tribute videos to puppet monkeys, TIME examines five of the best Jackson performances by people who are not, in fact, the King of Pop

It's embarrassing to find out that a marine mammal can dance better than you can. But this walrus has got moves. Okay, maybe it's a little weird to see a 3,000 lb. sea creature roll around to a song about a woman getting assaulted in her apartment. But if Michael Jackson could make it danceable, why can't a walrus? Bonus points for the "bloodstains on the carpet" flipper claps.
