Haha, that's cool. Makes me wonder...
In Santa Cruz, CA there is a place called "Mystery Spot". I visited yesterday. I don't understand how it works but you lean when you are trying to stand straight. It was pretty cool... and it totally reminded me of the Smooth Criminal video.

Interesting thought. It's also evident that MJ was inspired by Fred Astaire in a 1940's film for smooth criminal dance portion of the video, down to the attrie...

Isn't it because the entire building is leaning? (Maybe a dumb guess from me though, lol)

I especially love the one he did on Beat It vs West Side Story.
