    There is literally almost 20 references. The lean, the drummer's glove, the werewolf lady, the sidewalk lights, the kid's mask, the Asian fans, the thriller dance, the steam vent, that movie MJ was in where the car explodes, the glove chair, bubbles, and the last few I caught might be a stretch, but the gut at the end with the lizard eye, his back tat was maybe of Elizabeth Taylor, who Michael went to the Grammys with, and the lifting up of his pants to show white socks. That's off top. I did not know that that kid I'd dancing in front of MJ's childhood home.

    Fun fact: You cannot smell during REM and Deep Sleep, you can't smell a fire coming. You won't see it, you won't taste it. That leaves hearing a functioning alarm, or feeling the heat when it's close enough.

    Man you gotta checkout some songs from the band Vampire Weekend. They just came out with a amazing album Only God Was Above Us. The band is combining a lot of sounds from rock to rap to jazz to orchestral stuff. They take a little bit of everything to make something really good. Id start with Classical, Capricorn, Prep School Gangsters or Mary Boone as right now those are the most popular on the album. I had heard their stuff in 2019 but hadn’t thought of them until I saw the new album put it on and loved it. You’ll really love this band if you give it a chance.

    Ok, here we go. All references if you're watching original video with time stamps.
    0:12 Kid dancing like Michael Jackson, using a mask that he usually wore.
    0:30 The lean he did in Smooth Criminal with Gravity Boots.
    0:34 Japanese girls. In Asia, girls lost their collective shit over him.
    0:52 The wolf in video of Thriller.
    1:20 One of the more iconic moves from MJ, also hard left turn but King Of The Hill?
    1:38 Silver glove chair, and Bubbles, his pet chimpanzee.
    1:48 Sidewalks glowing a la Billy Jean video.
    2:12 Car windows blowing out with lead singer doing the iconic crotch grab. In background there's a flag of MJ.
    2:19 The thriller iconic zombie move. Two guys wearing a silver glove.
    2:23 Another thing that MJ usually did in his shows. Smoke and wind coming from under him.
    2:37 Sidewalk glowing again, and the screen splitting like in Billy Jean clip. (My personal fave is the mailbox)
    3:12 Pulling up pants to look like MJ's iconic socks, they were white because your eye naturally go to light and away from dark. He wanted his feet to be highlighted.
    3:16 Jesus F'ing Christ, this kid can dance...
    3:28 Elizabeth Taylor tattoo, someone that was very close to him.
    3:30 The end of Thriller video.
    Misc: Drummers sticks, one is silver. Also white glove.
    If I missed any, let me know?
