"Dancing Machine" is a song recorded by American R&B group the Jackson 5; it was the title track of their ninth studio album.
The song, which reportedly sold over three million copies,[3] popularized the physically complicated robot dance technique, devised by Charles Washington in the late 1960s.
"Dancing Machine" brought the Jackson 5 their second Grammy Award nomination in 1975 for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, losing to Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good".
Another alternate remix version was released on The Original Soul of Michael Jackson in 1987.
It was also covered by Suburban Legends on their Japan-only EP, Dance Like Nobody's Watching: Tokyo Nights.
A remix by Polow da Don was featured in a commercial for Svedka.
