When you smoke weed, use nitrous oxide , take acid and have someone inject dentist grade numbing agent into both your feet. It is quite hard to acquire the last ingredient but when it is come upon from a friend in a medical practice it is godly. When all done it results in a feeling like you are walking on the moon

What is now known as the cobra which is rotating around on your heels while moving your upper arm/chest muscles to the beat was the original moonwalk. It can be seen in the first scene of the movie Breakdance, also on Michael Jackson Victory tour performances
The one Michael Jackson performed at Motown 25 is known as the backslide and was taught to him by Jeffrey Daniels and Geron Canidate who had performed it on Soul Train. Jeffrey Daniels first (not first ever) execution of the Moonwalk in the UK (82' TotP, introduction of street dancing to the UK) can be seen here

The earliest video for the backslide is that of Bill Bailey in 1955

People think it might date back to the 20's.
Other variations are gliding, which is when you do it to the side, moving forwards and staying static (on the spot).

Ultra cool move that Michael Jackson performs. He walks forward and moves backwards. Everybody is just jealous because they don't know how to do it.
Dude did you see the Billie Jean video.

Moonwalking is when an attempt to move on from a past relationship miserably fails and instead you end up going back to your previous boy/girl friend.
This makes you feel like you're months in the past instead of in the present, hence the term moonwalking. walking forward but going back.

The act of Hangin Wit Da Moon and therefore being so intoxicated on marijuana or marijuana accessories, that you believe that you are actually walking on the moon, backwards... And every 5 minutes you be saying “where the fuck we at, let's go ice skating or roller blading, dependent on the weather, of course... And then go bowling my nigga woopty woop”
“My nigga, I was Hangin Wit Da Moon and started Moonwalking... I was high as fuck... Then I went ice skating and bowling”
