Second working rule drawn up before end of week, reversing move by Jackson? (8)
I believe the answer is:
moonwalk
'by jackson?' is the definition.
(I know that Moonwalk author Michael Jackson)
'second working rule drawn up before end of week' is the wordplay.
'second working' becomes 'moon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rule' becomes 'law' (law is a kind of rule).
'drawn up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'week' is 'k'.
'law' reversed gives 'wal'.
'moon'+'wal'+'k'='MOONWALK'
'reversing move' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moonwalk that I've seen before include "Jackson's dance - Armstrong's first" , "Lunar stroll - disco manoeuvre" , "Dance performed by Michael Jackson" , "Dance by Michael Jackson - steps by Neil Armstrong" , "Michael Jackson dance step" .)
