You didn't get the memo? We've decided to reject the ridiculous "new" name and go back to calling it "Heartbreak Hotel." lol

Great song regardless!

Just to avoid confusion, they didn't want to be seen as covering an Elvis track. Michael was not a fan of Elvis (as he wrote in Moonwalker), though he dug his daughter eventually! razz

That makes no sense at all disbelief Don't they realize that there are thousands of songs by different artists with the same title?! Hell,in 1998,Whitney Houston released a single called "Heartbreak Hotel"!

Ooohhh! And all this time I thought I had hearing issues. Definitely preferred Heartbreak Hotel, since that's what I heard all along. lol

This remains one of my favorite "Jacksons" jams. "Walk Right Now" deserves an honorable mention from this album.
