Well based on what we hear it isn't a cover, but rather samples the melody of "Horse with No Name", lyrically it is quite different. Again based on a 25 second snippet.

Paul McCartney Explains Michael Jackson Rift To Letterman
July 15, 2009


McCartney also went into detail about his first contact with Jackson, with whom he collaborated on the hits "Say Say Say," and "The Girl is Mine."

"It was great, we had a great time," McCartney said. "It was Christmas and I was at home and my phone rang and a little voice talked to me and I said 'Who's this?' you know, kind of guarding my privacy, my private number.

"I said who's this? 'It's Michael.' I thought it was, you know, a little bit sort of dodgy. But anyway he said, 'Michael Jackson.' He said, 'You want to make some hits?' So I said, 'Yeah, sure' - you know, being of the hit-making variety."

The two became "very good friends," McCartney said, but it "actually kind of fell apart" when Jackson bought the Beatles catalogue. McCartney said he tried to make a deal with Jackson after the singer purchased the catalogue.

"Somebody had to get it, I suppose. What happened actually is then I started to ring him up because I thought, here is the guy historically placed to give Lennon/McCartney a good deal at last. Because we'd got signed when we were 21 or something in a back alley in Liverpool and the deal remained the same even though we'd made this company the most famous and hugely successful. So I kept thinking, it was time for a raise.

"We never kind of got to it and I thought, Mmm, so we kind of drifted apart. It was no big bust-up. ... But he's a lovely man, massively talented, and we miss him."

yes that's correct. But TMZ says Mike asked America's permission to do the song. He was inspired enough from their version to ask to do it is what I meant by cover.

America's current manager, Jim Morey, who was also Michael's manager in the late 80's and early 90's, tells us, "The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear."

But don't forget, there's also no proof he's his kid though (based on some stuff I've read , which contradicts everything said here-. MJ met this kid with his family in 1996 for the first time and he was impressed with his dance moves lol , the kid (older now) has a pakistani father and norweigan mom- he's biracial) All this secret kid stuff is just speculation by tabloid media brought forth. Michael was friends with a lot of children and he took care of them and was like a father like figure to them. He let them hang around with him. All these kids wanted to dress like him and look like him. I wouldn't jump to conclusions that fast.

Hi, I'm the one who said I thought MJ didn't seem to have any sexual "desire".
That doesn't make me a IDIOT. Please don't get offensive.

Now, I'd like to know where's the "Sex is a core component of his work" since the Bad album? written by himself? when is he feeling sexual desire for anyone?. Give in to me? maybe?
But

One of his most sensual sensual songs for me is Lady In My Life, but that's just sexy and was not written by him. That's far from being a sexual song.
Most of his other songs are mainly about political issues, "Me against the Media" & "Let's save the children" stuff

Other artists who do/did write about sex implicitly or explicitly are Marvin, Prince, Janet, Chico Debarge, Joe, etc...

MJ's songs seem to have elements only about love, most of it tender, sweet, imaginary/impossible love.

BAD:

4 Lovesongs/ Sex:
I just can't stop loving you
Liberian Girl
Dirty Diana
The Way she makes me feel

3 Political songs/ Songs about Children/Media
Man In the miror
Another Part Of Me
Leave Me Alone

4 Others
Bad
Speed Demon
Just good Friends
Smooth Criminal


Dangerous:

6 Lovesongs/ Sex:
In The Closet
Who is it?
She Drives me wild
Remember the time
Can't let her away
Dangerous

4 Political Songs/Children/Media
Jam
Why you wanna Trip On me
Heal The world
Black or white

3 Others
Will you be there
Keep the faith
Gone too soon

History:

0 Lovesongs/Sex

14 Political/Children/MediaScream
They don't care about us
Stranger in Moscow
This Time around
Earth Song
DS
Money
You are not alone
Childhood
Tabloid Junkie
2 Bad
History
Little susie
Smile

0 Others:

Blood On The Dancefloor

1 Lovesongs/Sex
Superfly Sister

1 Political/Children/ Media

3 Others
Blood on the dancefloor
Ghosts
Is it Scary?

Invincible:

9 Lovesongs/Sex
Heartbreaker

You rock my world
Butterflies
Speechless
You are my life
Don't walk away
Whatever happens

6 Political/Children/ Media
Unbreakable
Invincible
Privacy
Cry
The Lost children
Threatened

1 Others
2000 watts

So? Where's the SEX AS A CORE COMPONENT?

Lovesongs are mostly about:

She's bad, She doesn't love me, She's so sweet...

OK...

Love songs 20... Only 2 or 3 couple being sexy or about sex (out of 59!!)
Political/Children 28
Others 11

so, Shut up already!!

Damn!

lol

You asked me not to label you an idiot, but with a post as breathtakingly clueless as this, I'm afraid I can't issue a retraction. Wow! MJ fans..... disbelief


clueless?

Whatever, I like his music, but I'm not that fanatic. You don't have to be that smart to get this...

Maybe I just got the clean version of the cd's

or maybe you just listen to sex lines on tracks like Speechless or We are the world... What a perv

done.

Paul McCartney has always had a selected memory about this. As has been documented in many books about the Beatles publishing.

At the time of the sale (not an auction) Robert Holmes a Court, initially approached both Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney regarding the sale and gave them first rigth of refusal. Both of them passed with McCartney saying he thought the price was too high. Bowing out of the sale, the publishing rights were put up for sale and Michael Jackson purchased them.

For all of McCartney's hard done by tale, I wonder if he also extends the same theory to the hundreds of other artists songs he owns through his own purchase of publishing rights. If you want to read a history of the whole Beatles publishing, I recommend "Northern Songs" by Brian Southall.

Jackson Autopsy Report Delayed
Posted Jul 16th 2009 9:00PM by TMZ Staff

The L.A. County Coroner's office needs another two weeks before it releases the Michael Jackson autopsy report.

Sources tell us the reason for the delay is that several outside consultants have not finished their reports.

As we have already reported, some of the tests are already in and from all indications the drug Propofol will ultimately be listed as the primary cause of Michael Jackson's death. But the Coroner does not release partial results

Michael Jackson's record sales top 9 million since his death


By Chris Lee and Randy Lewis
July 16, 2009
The surge in sales of Michael Jackson's music catalog continued Wednesday with the announcement that his recordings dominated the pop charts for the third consecutive week, and a source told The Times that more than 9 million of Jackson's albums have been sold worldwide since his death June 25.

Nielsen SoundScan said Jackson's albums sold 1.1 million copies over the last seven days and had combined to sell an impressive 2.3 million in the U.S. in the nearly three weeks since he died.

Sony Music, which controls the catalog of his solo adult recordings, declines as a policy to comment on sales issues, but a spokeswoman for the label did not dispute the accuracy of the 9-million figure provided by the source, who has knowledge of Jackson's global album sales but is not authorized to speak on the matter. Jackson's music has also topped the pop charts in countries including France, Germany, Australia and the U.K. during the same period.

Katherine Jackson Finally Able to Grieve

By Champ Clark

By all accounts, Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson has been the rock for family members – including Michael's three children – in the weeks since the King of Pop's death. Now, it's her turn to grieve.

"It's finally hit her," says a source close to the family. "She's been crying a lot. Her eyes are constantly red. She can't believe Michael is gone."

While Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II ["Blanket"], 7, remain surrounded by cousins at the Jackson family home in Encino – having summer funtime that includes swimming and water balloon fights – Katherine is struggling to hide her sorrow, says the source.

"She feels horrible for those children," the source says of Katherine, who was awarded temporary custody of the children pending a hearing scheduled for July 20 [and was named in Michael's will as his pick for primary guardian]. "[But] she's determined to remain strong for them."

The source says Katherine is fiercely protective of all her family.

"She is very upset about all the Joe bashing and all the things that are being said about him," says the source. "Michael's kids love Grandpa Joe. Hearing him trashed makes Katherine really angry."

Debbie Rowe Files Defamation Lawsuit
July 2009


Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe on Thursday sued a woman for defamation on Thursday after news reports that claimed Rowe was willing to accept millions of dollars in exchange for giving up her custody rights to her two children with the dead pop star.

In the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Rowe contends that Rebecca White committed defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

White, who could not immediately be reached for comment, claimed to be a "close friend" of Rowe, the lawsuit said. The women did know each other.

The suit claimed White fabricated e-mails and other communications she said were sent to her by Rowe. In one case, White told an unspecified media outlet that Rowe had sent her an e-mail in which Rowe said she did not want the children but that it would look bad if she did not fight for their custody.

In reality, according to the lawsuit, Rowe and White never exchanged e-mails concerning Jackson, his family or their children. Additionally, Rowe has not e-mailed White since Jackson died last month, it added.

Rowe's attorney was not available for comment. It was not clear how much the lawsuit sought in damages.

Rowe was expected to attend a custody hearing concerning Jackson's three children on Monday.

She is the mother of Prince Michael, 12, and daughter Paris, 11. Seven-year-old Prince Michael II, better known as "Blanket," was born to an unknown surrogate. Rowe was not mentioned in Jackson's will, which named his mother, Katherine Jackson, as their guardian.

Those are some incredibly impressive numbers there. Michael Jackson is proving to be every bit of the phenomenon in death just as he was in life. No one can deny it.
