Michael was at his finest here!!!

I used to dance my 7-yr-old heart out to this song back then. But I always skip it now, and think its the 2nd worst track on the album behind "She's Out Of My Life".

I've often wondered if construction of a red lightsaber takes place before you can become a Republican, or is it something you do after initiation. Dah, well...

'Off The Wall' is Michael's best album.I love every song on it.

This cut and "Burn This Disco Out" get played daily in my house

His best song.

I mean right after Billie Jean.

... and Beat It.

Great song, gotta love the Louis Johnson Slap Bass. Can never go wrong with that. Michael shows off a lot of his Vocal register in this song. "Everybody" from "Triumph" is in the same vibe as this one to me. Musically, and even lyrically.

"Everybody":

Oh, everybody, get down on the floor
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more

"Get On The Floor":

So Get On The Floor
And Dance With Me
I Love The Way You Shake Your Thing
Especially

That's Louis playing the bass part only- I LOVE the bass in this song.

One of Mj's best and most underrated songs.

This sounds slower than the version I have.
It's a great song, my sixth favourite on the album.

TUNE!

"Shake yer reptile, baby!"

That Michael J. Jackson was the man back in that day!

yeah and he talked about that in his autobiography Moonwalker. I think one of his brothers mainly wrote Everbody and ripped of MJ's song.

Back when Michael could throwdown. Great song from his best album.

definitely an overlooked gem of an album track. i think I Can't Help It takes away the props this song is also due

That's funny though because I'm listening to that song right now, but I love every song on that album tho, OFF THE WALL=MJ at his funkiest! Great album.
