Did anyone hear about the 1987 duet version of Bad?

It first said it was never done...but they were wrong! Prince let Michael do one take of Bad in 1987. I'll post the lyrics. I got the duet burned on one of my CDs a while back. If I find it, I'll post it here.

This is an hour long recording session version.

[Michael] So I want to do the "your butt is mine" verse, and end my section on "lay it on me all right".
[Prince] And then I come in on "I'm giving you till the count of three".
[Michael] Yeah, so let's try that.
[Music plays]
[Michael] Your butt is mine.
Gonna take you right,
Just show your face,
In Broad Daylight,
I'm tellin you,
On how I feel,
Gonna Hurt Your Mind,
Don't Shoot To Kill,
Shamone, Shamone,
Lay it on me all right...oooh!
[Prince] I'm giving you,
On the Count of Three
To show your stuff,
Or Let It Be,
I'm tellin you,
Just Watch Your Mouth,
I Know Your Game,
What you're about.
[Both] Well they say the sky's the limit,
and to me that's really true,
But my friend you've seen nothin,
just wait til I get through!
[Michael] Aaaaooowww!
[Prince] Because I'm Bad
[Michael] I'm bad, shamone
[Prince] Come on!
[Michael] Bad bad, real, real, bad
[Prince] You know it, I'm bad, I'm bad
[Michael] Shamone, you know it, uh!
[Prince] And the whold world has to answer right now,
Just to tell you once again.
[Both] Who's Bad!
[Music stops]
[Quincy Jones] Cut! Ok...now let's try the second part, or do you want to cut to The Word is Out?
[Michael] I think I want to do...the word is out, what you're doin wrong...
[Prince] You can slide that verse to the bottom.
[Michael] Let's try that.
[Prince] okay.
[Music resumes]
[Prince] The word is out, what you're doing wrong
Gonna lock you up,
Before too long,
Your lyin eyes,
Gonna take you right,
So listen up,
Don't make a fight,
Your Talk is Cheap,
You're not a man,
You're throwin' stones,
To Hide your hands
[Michael] But they say the sky's the limit,
and to me that's really true, my friends you have seen nothin, just wait til i get through you know
[Both] I'm bad, I'm bad, real real bad, you know I'm bad, bad, you know it, you know it, you know it, I'm bad.
[Michael] You know, you know, you know it!
[Prince] Bad, bad, real real bad, bad bad, real real bad![Both] and the whole world has to answer right now, just to tell you once again, WHO'S BAD?
[Prince] We could change the world tomorrow
[Michael] This could be a better place
[Prince] If you don't like what I'm sayin
[Michael] Then won't you slap my face!
[Both] I'm bad, I'm bad, real real bad, bad, bad, real bad, and the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again, I'm bad, bad, real real bad, real bad, you know it, you know it, bad bad, real real bad, bad bad, real real bad! Shamone!
[Prince] And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again
[Michael] Who's Bad?
[Quincy] That's hot, it's so hot, it's damn right smoking!
[Michael] Yeah
[Prince] You think it's good enough Mike?
[Michael] I like it, I think the rephrasing of that verse really did it.
[Prince] I want to change the duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh part, I want to move that to the 3rd verse...I think it would really make a nice effect.
[Michael] The verse is pretty energetic in itself right now.
[Quincy] So you're planning to release this as a single?
[Michael] Yeah.
[Quincy] Let me go show this to Bruce.

---END OF TRACK 1---

you so wish.

Think I'm crazy...whatever

Michael Jackson is an extremely bad liar. He's been lying for so long you'd think he'd be better at it by now.
Fifteen minutes in the bathroom? I think the doo doo was coming from MJ himself. And the smell probably wasn't too pleasant.

shygirl said:

in all seriousness, i think Michael needs to get himself checked. his soul, his spirit, all that stuff.
i get the feeling from people that they are so disappointed in him. i think people, ie his fans or even former fans, miss him and love him and they just can't believe that a genius of his level could have fallen so dramatically. i think people still regard him as the greatest entertainer ever but they are just can't believe that his star has fallen as is has.

"shamone"


C_O_M_E_D_Y, the whole thread.

Michael used too could dance...

oOoOJulyOoOo said:

But, I don't know what happened. I know he's in a whole lotta trouble...

MJMoonwalker said:

no no even P said he wasnt doing it himself. And another thing, where did u get this from? And another thing, i wanna hear it, and another thing this would have been leaked

you've definitely got my attention. i hope you're for real.
i'd love to hear how it really sounds.. are you willing to share it with us?

MJMoonwalker said:

What a load of shit.
Prince had the sense to say NO to this project, credit us with some intelligence!

Trust me this is B.S. of the highest order.

Marrk said:

you mean he's just trying to promote his mj website with an exciting story/fabrication like the one above?

purpleone said:

Probably, if he had what he claims to, it'd be on his site somewhere.It isn't.

MJMoonwalker said:

Bunch of arse.

now i wanna hear it


interestin' read

Do you think Prince would have sung it in a falsetto? Or maybe Camille? Or a Camille falsetto?

Number23 said:

Yeah, I almost bought it til i got to that bit. You pushed it too far there, MJMoonwalker. I can't for the life of me hear Prince calling Michael Jackson "Mike". From what I heard, Prince called the whole thing off when he found out that the opening line to the song was Michael singing the words "your butt is mine" to him ...wise man, that Prince.

Whenever someone posts stuff like this, it just perpetuates the myths and creates more - like Chinese whispers.

I got it off KazaA a while back.

No its not on my site...lol

MJMoonwalker said:

It seems to me that you may be even more delusional than your idol.

MJMoonwalker said:

"you be illin'"--run dmc

MJMoonwalker said:

ur site is cool. i checked it out because of this.

MJMoonwalker said:

not many people believe you, mjmoonwalker, and why should they? people know of a meeting between mike and prince, even quincy confirmed this. but to proclaim tapes of this meeting are circulating? it just seems too good to be true. and you're the first and only one to come forward with this. you gave us a transcript of some singing and some dialogue from a track on a cd you said to have lost? which you originally downloaded from kazaa? this alone seems a bit strange to me. believe me, i hope you're telling the truth! and if you are, then i hope you will be sharing these sessions of mike and prince with the rest of us (and even kick some non-believer-ass too. lol)..

purpleone said:

Umm,...haven't you been listening?
He's full of shit - there aint no cd, there was no duet, nuthin, nuthin, nuthin.

MJMoonwalker said Prince said:

Like Prince would say THAT 2 anyone!

If this was your school report it would say:
'Nice website, but tries 2 hard 2 be liked.
Must pay more attention in class, and not get so easily destracted by the older boys
Also, must not embelish the truth 2 gain attention.'

bananacologne said:

Nana, that's what your school report says...except for a different reason, no doubt.
Dirty, just plain...dirty.

"Drugs are bad umkay"

If any1 has seen the VH-1 interview with one of my fave comedians ever, Chris Rock, Prince talks about 'Bad'. He said he didn't duet with MJ cuz of the 1st line of the song & in general he didn't like it anyway. Also, did u know Prince gave MJ a song but MJ refused it & Prince gave it 2 some1 else, think it was Jill Jones or Ingrid Chavez.

Also, MJMoonwalk ur site didn't load 4 me, I'd like 2 check it out as I'm a big MJ fan.
