An old advert starring Michael Jackson has been doing the rounds online, and it's clear to understand why.
The short 30-second commercial for Suzuki Love Scooter from back in 1979 is a simple one, but it's so damn cool.
Michael Jackson appears alongside a female model as he performs his iconic dance moves to the tune of his then-new song 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough'.

After a bit of a boogie around the bike, Michael appears on camera and says the tagline: "Love is my message".
In a cute moment, Michael attempts to wink at the camera, but instead shuts both eyes and laughs.

There's also a second advert, where Michael does the same thing - but we reckon at this point he was taking the mickey out of himself for his inability to wink in the previous commercial:
