| - | In 2001 Playgroup released "Number One" an up-tempo disco dance song. The video is computer animated and features a tower PC which is transformed into a [[humanoid]] dancing robot during the song. The dancing PC performs various dance moves with disco to [[breakdance]] elements in a digital dance arena, complete with lighting effects. Among the moves are some signature ones of famous artists. The list includes [[Michael Jackson]]'s [[Moonwalk (dance)|Moon Walk]] and the glowing tiles under each foot step first seen in his [[Billy Jean]] video. The rocking version of the [[Duck Walk]] created by [[Angus Young]] of [[AC/DC]] is also recreated by the computer-generated dancer. | + | |
