does this really need to be more than 1 thread? at some point, it's just spam. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss | |

I was planning to make a thread dedicated to each single, so I don't think it's spam  , but just in case, I'll go back and edit the original thread[Edited 5/11/07 16:22pm] "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them.

Was "The Girl is Mine" really recorded after "Say Say Say"? Interesting if it's true. "Girl" is my least favorite song on "Thriller," but I love "Say Say Say." | |
