The song sounds like it shoulda been on The Wiz. The Manu Dibango lyric was also a smart move, some street dancers had it on in the background a few months ago in Grand Central, still sounds freash.

I listened to this song about an hour ago. That is one of my favorite MJ songs ever. The funk on that is crazy, It was a great way to start off a great album.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Definitely a dancefloor epic masterpiece, and one of the best album openings ever, even better than Don't Stop Till yOu get enough if you ask me.

This is one of my alltime favorite MJ tracks as well. The song has very interesting lyrics.

"Youre a vegetable, youre just a buffet..."

What is the nature of a vegetable that could possibly relate to the person that he's talking about in the song?

I love the way the song reaches a crescendo and the Mama Sa Mamasa Mam ma Coo Sa chant starts. If u dont get up to dance to that, u must have a hole in your soul!

Yeah, I think it's my favorite Michael song ever.

I love the song also.

One thing I love about it is the mentioning of "Billie Jean" in the lyrics. It is like foreshadowing of what will come. He sings, "Billie Jean is always talking, spreading lies.."

You have to love this song biggrin Or at least I think you do!
