Need some light relief? You’re in luck. Here are Laurel and Hardy dancing to ‘Billie Jean’

For a quick antidote against all of this relentless doom and gloom, we turn to Stan and Ollie whose antics have been cheering people up for more than 100 years.

Here’s a rather fantastic clip of Laurel and Hardy mashed up with a soundtrack of Michael Jackson’s 1983 classic Billie Jean. It works better than you would think and is a most welcome shot of joy.

Thanks to Nostalgia Chick for the video and to Joe G for sharing it on Twitter.
