The song was recorded with no intention of being released due to copyright, by chance it was leaked to Jacksons management that played him the song, Michael loved it and agreed they could release it and then they filmed the video

The fact that they not only did the full song itself, but both parodied and kept faith to Michael's style while pointing out they're nowhere near as smooth a mover as him and they mocked themselves in their janky dances - while giving winks nods and clues to the style of showmanship that Michael did - is my absolute favourite part of all this, there's no part thats not done with love and humour at the same time.

The band might not be that famous but this cover was a total success and considering the original song was by Michael Jackson, you either screw up and be hated on for it or you actually make the cover good and making it good was what this band did so in my humble opinion, that's something to behold.
