Did Mama Cass invent the moonwalk?

That's her horny mating dance.

I don’t know, but the out-of-tune flute solo that immediately follows it is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard! It sounds like they hired a seventh grader as backup.

Mama Cass had moves.

MJ stole her moves on the dancefloor.

John Phillips, gross. Good music though, but ick.

I love me some Mama Cass. I saw the Elton John film last night and there’s a scene where Elton meets Richard Maddens character at Mama Cass’ houses. Aww I wasn’t expecting that reference.

It's the ham sandwich dance.

She was agile for a great big fat person.

Aww, that reminds me of one of the last times I was in a gay club with my BF. A couple of big gurls where the only people out on the dance floor, and my very sweet little guy said, "Oh, I love seeing obese people having fun!"

OP have you seen MJs moonwalk??

The moves are very similar to Jackie Wilson's. MJ used a lot of his dancing style as well as James Brown's. A lot of "slippin' and a slidin'"

R9 thank you for that morning pick me up. 🤣

Origins of the Moonwalk

"John Phillips, gross."

The whole hippie, counter-culture, baby-boomer inspired movement can pretty much be described in that one word: gross.

Seemingly innocuous enough on the surface, but go beyond and you'll see what a nasty, vile, self-involved, egocentric movement that it really was, and baby boomers (led by their hero DJT) continue to lead and cheer its every move.

Michael Jackson's influences

R14 you’re stupid

She was holding a sandwich between her thighs.

Imagine the stinky feet inside those boots.

The Moon Waddle

It's a shame they only lasted 3 years. I guess John thought he'd made enough money and he could just lie around doing drugs the rest of his life.

They were basically the Mugwumps, with John arranging vocals and Michelle just standing there for window dressing.

Michelle inspired the songs, John wrote, all four sang them.

She's trying to do "the skate", but is just too fat to get much movement.

Michelle Phillips brought badly needed sex appeal to the group. Her voice, while thin, was decent. She definitely contributed to its success.

Dance, fattie, dance.

Maybe the MoonPie walk?

R22 Cute dance instructor.

White dancing always amuses me.

Whitney Houston couldn’t dance.

OP no, but Mama Cass was fond of mooncakes!

She invented it so she could slink back to the craft service table and no one would notice.

She was entitled to moonwalk. She had the same gravitational pull that the moon did.

she looks fun, like everyone would like her and she probably had gay friends

So did Mama Cass invent the moonwalk or didn't she?

It looks more like the sidewalk!

Here's Michelle singing more confidently.

Michelle was there to provide the drama and the blowjobs.

I think we can say, pretty much for sure, that Mama Cass didn't invent the moonwalk. But she was a good dancer, and had a fun presence. I wish she was still around.

Fat people with moves always have the cool factor.

I thought all Obese could dance well, as some kind of galactic semi-scale balancing.

Michelle Phillips may have been prettier, but Mama Cass easily outshone her with her stage presence.

Love this song and I don’t even like California . Love Mama Cass. Wished I was there at that era.

She was moonwalking her way to the ham sandwich table.

I've also wondered the same thing! The woman could MOVE. Michelle was beautiful but she could sway about as well as a robot.

Watch her move here.

That's not the Moonwalk, that's closer to the Mashed Potato.

Chrissy Metz could never!

Bless her (failed) heart.

Mama Cass was a boss bitch! I would've loved to have been friends with her.

Did she ever work with Jackie Gleason, another big fat person who could dance?

Most fat white people who can dance limit it to smooth moves.

She's such a ham.

There were several dances in the 60s with vaguely similar footwork.

The Mamas and Papas had two excellent vocalists (Cass and Denny), a great musician who designed incredible harmonies (John Phillips who was worst of all scumbags) and Michelle who had a mediocre voice but provided the sex factor. I'm an eldergay (59) but I remember being a young gayling watching their last performance on Ed Sullivan. I think it was the last time they performed together but I may be wrong. This, IMO is the best example of their harmony.

OP, you ignorant slut. That's the dance Axl Rose later called the Serpentine.

Was it a ham sammich or a chicken carcass she choked on?

Michelle and Cass sounded pretty good in "Got a Feeling'" ---a lesser known song.

Cass had an unrequited love for Denny, poor thing.

The actress who played Cass Elliott in "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" did her signature dance move in the party at the Playboy Mansion--it made me really happy.

Here's more of Cass's fancy footwork in one of her greatest of all her songs: "Words of Love." What a voice!

It's amazing someone so heavy could be so light on her feet. It's too bad she never got to play Tracy Turnblad in "Hairspray."

I always felt sorry for Denny Doherty. She pined and pined for him, but he wasn't really interested because she was too fat for him. He had pity sex with her a number of times, but they never kept it together... and she moved on when she realized he didn't really desire her. And then she died young, and he spent the rest of his life regretting he had been so shallow.

She was a great dancer... but even she was no Susan Cowsill.

I saw a video last night that said Mama Cass is now haunting the house she used to live in.

I thought everyone knew Judy Frog invented the Moonwalk!

Are ham sandwiches mysteriously disappearing from the fridge?

Dan Akroyd supposedly thinks her spirit got in bed with him.

Dan Akroyd is a nutter. Who knew!?
