As a Michael jackson fan (especially back then), I went crazy for this song. I had recently pulled out the Victory album and listened to it again, this song was a quick toss off for an album Bichael really didn't want any involvement in. And it shows. It isn't horrible, lets just say it wasn't much effort.

I've got a mix of this on my Ipod. It's mixed with "Rain Forest" by Paul Hardcastle, that was done by the one and only Electrifying Mojo that's totally mind blowing!!

That sounds like a great mix. I like to mix the breakdown of the 12 Inch of "State Of Shock" and fade in the opening drums of the 12 Inch of Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You".

There is a supposes other track with theJacksons/Freddie titled of course "Victory"

Also, if you can find the Victory cover with a dove on Randy's shoulder, hold onto it.

Prince does. in fact, that cover looks just like those crap drawings that populate his record releases every now and then for the last decade or more.

I have never liked this song that much. But I think this extended version is on the Ultimate Collection.

I agree that it's kind of toss off and the lyrics are uninspired. But Michael Jackson's toss offs are still better than some of the best songs by today's artists.

I still bump it.

The song is crap,but for some reason,I like it nuts It's one of those songs that is so bad that it's good.I always laugh at the elementary lyrics in the 2nd verse:

You got me on my knees
but please baby please
I know you like to tease
but please baby please

You take it to me good
like you know you should
I love the way you walk
talk baby talk


lol

I love the song, but I prefer the version with Freddie Mercury on vocals.

I don´t know. I didn´t even know there was a version with Freddie. lol I still have things to learn about Mike. Unbelievable.

See, I didn´t even realize there was another version with Freddie. I thought it was just a duet with Jagger. Anyways, I´ve just listened to the beginnings of the songs and they seem identical.

One of the few songs on the "Victory" album that I actually like! Michael's voice in it is just love. He totally makes the song for me.
"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

Freddie and MJ, had recorded a few things together that were meant for Victory. Most of it never saw the light of day, while others like, "There must be more to life than this", ended up on Freddie's solo works, minus Michael's vocals. Story is, right after doing State Of Shock", Michael and Freddie, had a falling out. So, Michael being the person that he is, had Freddie's vocals ereased and replaced. It was even said that when "Another one bites the dust", Freddie had called Michael and asked him what he thought of it, Michael told him that he like it and that he should release it. The rest is history. BTW, I have the original version of State of Shock, as well as There must be more to life than this. They both sound interesting.

I do have There must be more to life than this. But I don´t know about the other songs. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, this is true. Here is an interview clip with Freddie from this era where he is talking about his collaborations with MJ and he also mentions that he was originally supposed to have a guest appearance on the Thriller album:
