I wonder what Scott Baio's version sounds like...

Huh? Scott Baio aka Chachi did "Trouble", what?

Timmy84 said:

yep

I'm trying to find it. I found out about it and Musical Youth's version in For The Record

bboy87 said:

Word? LOL

Who wrote it? Mike?

Timmy84 said:

Nah, the guys who wrote Just Good Friends

bboy87 said:

I see!
It figures.

Lol. I love this song. Michaels version is amazing also

ViintageJunkiie said:

I prefer Mike's version. MY's version feels different

i never liked the song anyway. Just Good Friends is worst!

bboy87 said:

Most def. Mikes version has more feel to it. M.Y version is good tho

I remember this song

bboy87 said:

So,what's the story on this song? Is it a 'Thriller' outtake? When did Michael record his version?

SoulAlive said:

yep, it's a Thriller outtake. It was recorded in 1981 or 82.

SoulAlive said:

Yea, Michael recorded early in the Thriller sessions but it didn't make the album. If I remember, it wasn't even considered in the final stages

There are 2 versions, the one that's been circulating since 1998-99 and the latest snippet that's slightly slower and is a different vocal take

bboy87 said:

I think this song is too "bubblegum" for 'Thriller'.It's a good thing that Michael and Quincy rejected it.

SoulAlive said:

I was going to post this really cool interview from one of the engineers for Thriller and how they would come up with the mixes and how they chose the songs. A really great interview, but there's already too many threads about Michael and I don't it to get flamed

bboy87 said:

Go ahead and post it.One more MJ thread won't hurt anybody

SoulAlive said:

I'm gonna wait til some of those other threads go away. Then I will
