Why the hell did i type that twice? lol

'Time Flies' rips off 'Lady In My Life' i'd say.

Yeah in a way lol But "Muscles" was the foundation for both songs IMHO.

Muscles was written before Lady In My Life?

Muscles was written in 1982, no?

This song sounds like MJ wrote it. Even the background vocals do sound like him.

He wrote it and did the background vocals on the intro nod

Wrote it on the way back from London in April '82 after recording Say Say Say

Was on the plane....started humming the melody and said "That'll be perfect for Diana!"

There was also rumors he was writing for Frank Sinatra ,Lena Horne, and Barbara Striesand at the time
