Here is the new bonus track from the special edition of Thriller. Is it me, or does this song sound like it was recently recorded? What do u guys think?

awwww I LOVE THIS song... i was on an MJ forum and this fan made a download of a zipped folder with unreleased rare mj songs and this was in the folder... i had no clue.. but i really liked this song... its beautiful....

why did he release this on his dangerous album???

Well, he apparantly rerecorded the song for Dangerous, but ended up not using it! The song on Thriller is supposed to be the original version! At least vocally!

!!!!!

Has anyone heard "Can't Get Outta The Rain", from the Thriller single?

great song , together with we've had enough one of the beter leaked songs yeah i know we've had enough is released

Ya mean, the edited version of "You Can't Win", right? It's interesting "can't get outta the game" turned into "can't get outta the rain", lol.

From what I heard, it still sounded like it did during the DANGEROUS period with a new verse from the bridge part.

Okay MJ completists...I have a major request for y'all.

Can anyone give me a comprehensive list of every non-album, b-side, outtake and alternate track circulating out there?

this isn't the new bonus track from the 25th edition - or if it is fans are gonna be even more pissed at this release.

this track sounds to me very much the same as the one previoulsy "leaked" from the dangerous sessions - I would expect/hope thriller 25 would include an alternate version from the thriller period. In other words - it's the same song, but is it the same track.

although having said all of that - i'm more interested in the extra bonus track on the Japaneese Thriller 25 which isn't already in wide circulation - in other words an actual new song. Might be crap sure enough but one can only wait and see

Yeah, "Got the Hots", I think, is the one on the Japanese edition of T25. Unfortunately I think this is the bonus track. Good little pop ballad but for this longtime MJ fan, I knew about it on the computer years ago. I still wonder what the alternate verse is gonna be. Maybe they should just leak it. February 12 ain't but weeks away.

that song is hilarious... it reminds me of "you can't win" it sounds like a song off the wiz soundtrack

TotalAlisa said:

Because it IS "You Can't Win".

Timmy84 said:

YOu obviously have NOT heard the song "you can't get out of the rain" that is a real song... it is NOT "you can't win"

i thought the same thing too... but i later found out "you can't get of the rain" is an unreleased song...

so just check upon your MJ stuff okay

TotalAlisa said:

Whatever. Can't Get Out of the Rain is part two of You Can't Win. You don't have the Ultimate Collection, I presume. So YOU check on your MJ stuff.

And besides it ain't like a track from an early period isn't a b-side of a newer track. I don't understand why people deny this, lol.

Timmy84 said:

you said "can't get out of the rain" is "you can't win" and its NOT "you can't win" ...it is part two.. but its still NOT the same song...

there is no need to waist my money on the ultimate collection when i have all bough his cds... and even downloaded unreleased songs that i got from MJ fans...

so maybe if you want to waist money on buying the same stuff over again you can.. or buy it for a few unreleased songs you can get for free or download the mp3... then fine

daPrettyman said:

sure, I'm aware of this - what I'm saying is how do we know the dodgy youtube above *is* the track on the CD which isn't available yet? It could simply be the old leaked track. sounds like it to me. I'm not saying it's not the same *song* - but is it the same cut?

TotalAlisa said:

Uh-huh... right.
Whatever you say, I'm still sticking to what I said.

harbars said:

In Layman's terms, yes.

Timmy84 said:

Ahh, got the hots - hmmm - i'm pretty sure i've heard that. dissapointed, again.

I'm a bit pissed - I mean all these "bonus" tracks which are already out there. I simply don't beleive "they" don't know that stuff is out there and maybe it is a good way of re-releasing stuff without doing any work.Bit cheap if you ask me - if "they" really wanted a "special special edition thriller" - i.e. a rerelease of a rerelease - which is what it is give us some dang new tunes.

I love the dude's music but I would like more - not the shit i got already

Timmy84 said:

you also waisting your money.... I have almost all those unreleased songs.. from the ultimate collection... so why should i buy it???

Timmy84 said:

What evidence is there of this? u have the CD?
If it is I ain't buying that's fo sure!

Timmy84 said:

Uh-huh... right.

Indeed it really is very funny to suggest that CGOTR is not an edit of YCW. No need to spend any money anywhere other than maybe back in the day on the original 7 or 12" that featured YCW or the girl is mine 7" that epic deliberatly retitled it on.

Like everybody knew back in '82 they were the same - and then Matt Forger confimed it later.

as far as i know the new version on the album hasnt leaked and the only versions on youtube are the older versions that have been leaked

TotalAlisa said:

Because you're cheap.

J/P.

I never said it was NOT... i just said they aren't the same exact song... I don't get the joke.... they sound similar but aren't exact...

Maybe...JUST MAYBE, the song you're hearing in sound quality is choppy compared to the one I got. Because when I heard it, it was like it was either edited in some degree or the sound quality is choppy but it's the same old song. They just brought in the b-side of "You Can't Win" and re-titled it. I wish YouTube had both versions (You Can't Win and "Can't Get Out of the 'Game'") so we can finally put it to rest.
