I took a real good listen to Off The Wall here lately and the song "Girlfriend" is great-I had no idea it was that good The song is catchy, lyrics are cute and his voice on here sounds beautiful Any fans of the song?

I. Never. Listen. To. This. Song.

When I first got into the Off The Wall album, it was my favorite track on the album.

I prefer the original version by Wings on the "London Town" album.

I also like the original.

it's a bit cheesy, i listen to it once a while but i usually skip this song.

I liked this song in the 70s and I like it now--mark me down as a Missouri Mule!

What the heck is a Missouri Mule?

I like this song It's a cool remake of a Paul McCartney song.Everything on 'Off The Wall' is excellent,imo.

Identity said:

The ironic thing is, Paul had written this with Michael in mind. In fact, the version on "London Town", Paul says that he was trying to imitate Michael. I love both versions, but I wish Michael had kept the part about the "river flowin' that was in Paul's version.

I've never understood the hate for this track. It's one of my favorites

yeah,I don't know why this song gets such a bad rap.It's soulful and melodic.

SoulAlive said:

It makes me want to hear the outtakes because the album itself is so good. Getting the demo to She's Out Of My Life last year was cool

bboy87 said:

Look this is a classic MJ vocal track, if you don't dig this you have no soul

I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS. SONG.


My favorite element to the song is the echoreverb keyboards.

( listen to it during the 3rd verse. it sound like FUCKING ANGELS.....ANGELS!!!!)


i want my music to float like that


dododo do do dodo do do dodooo
(whooo hooo!)

Yes, it is a cute song, but my fav on that CD is "Can't Help It"

sosgemini said:

Ditto lol... It's so cheesy and the sound is even cheesier.

I love Michael Jackson's version hands down. This was a cool song. I still listen 2 it.

Exactly! I fell in love with this song from the first moment I heard it. The melody is amazing...Mj's vocal is contagious.

As far as "originals" go... I prefer this one:

I rarely listen to this song, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

My favourite of the album is Can´t Help It. That´s a perfect song.

I like Mike´s version better. I feels fresher.

Cinnie said:

Although Patti/Mike did their thing, I'm getting addicted to Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Bridgewater's versions as well

LondonStyle said:

Yeha, I adore this song, I love it more than "Its the falling in love"

There's also a cover version by Marie Osmond on Youtube somewhere

I really dug Patti and Michael doin' their thing on "..Falling In Love". It's one of the last really great soul duets. Patti and Mike had great musical chemistry, and they really should've done another cut on her "Every Home Should Have One" album.

Have never liked the song & when MJ did his version it didn't change my opinion.
