Most people find YouTube a place of funny videos that ease up their busy lifestyles. Recently a 37-second video of a villainous looking game character dancing like Michael Jackson is making rounds on the video sharing site. It has now more than 1.4 million views and counting.

The game character has a complete bad guy setup with a big gun and a wardrobe popularized by "Hitman" series. The funny thing about the video is the bad guy looking character is dancing in Michael Jackson's hit "Billie Jean." It's even amusing to see that he dances like the King of Pop.

The tough looking character that wears the same tuxedo as John Wick and Agent 47 is busting up crazy moves in the trending YouTube video. The Story behind the viral video is even more amusing to hear.

According to CNET, Jon Gianelli teaches a video game design class at a high school in California. He's no ordinary video game teacher, his lessons are so advanced that his students are already working on some pretty advanced projects.

The projects include tweaking with Unreal Engine 4 and a suite of development tools for video games. Gianelli's pupils decided to load up a pre-built character and then turned the "gravity" off to see the results. That's how the dancing hit video was born.

The high school teacher shared the footage on Reddit and fielded questions about the video. Gianelli jokingly told his students it would get a million views on YouTube. So far it is trending to hit 2 million, he stated that he did not think that it would be trending.

The game design class is for beginners, but students are required to take graphic design and pre-algebra first. The students are exposed to programming and different game development lessons. That's a cool way to make viral videos.
