Has this been verified by any sources??

Supposedly Steve wrote it because his daughter got into a fight with someone at school? (According to what someone said on youtube). I hear him talking about a girl being first in line and a teacher shouting and stuff. What is the origin of this and when was it released to the web?

I thought Quincy said it was just music on a casette tape.

Yep, it's real. Leaked recently as part of the following leak of Thriller demos:

08 Startin' Somethin' Demo) 05:29
09 P.Y.T. Instrumental (Demo) 03:50

11 Slapstick (Demo) 02:42
12 Niteline (Writer Demo) 05:22

It was circulating among MJ collectors for some time but was leaked everywhere a week after This Is It came out


It was a studio reference tape that was given to I think engineers or people who worked on the album

Now was THIS the version that Michael and Q originally heard on the demo tape? Or was this a little more polished? Q said the song was real "skeletal" but this one has lyrics

I like this... I need to rip it.

I like it. I like hearing these earlier versions of songs from Thriller.

I came up with a set with all the demos that's all there, all we need is Michael's demo to Human Nature and the demo to Lady In My Life

Quincy didn't write any of the songs on Off The Wall, Thriller or Bad (except a co-writing credit for PYT), but no doubt he may as well have been a writer since I bet he changed up some of the arrangements so much they sounded like a new song. I suspect Stevie's version of "I Can't Help It" is the more bright, jazzy version he was performing before MJ's passing. After Mike died, Stevie started performing it the way Mike did, which was probably darkened a bit by Quincy to better suit MJ and the Off The Wall Sound.

Exactly..I know him and Quincy worked the HECK out of PYT that's for sure..the demo and the original are two seperate songs...thus the demo of Human Nature and the original are just also.

The lyrics are totally different. The music is pretty much the same in a sense, but I think of the song a different way now that I know what the demo was "about". I immediatley got this on my ipod now Keep listening to it over and over...quite haunting.
