When Is A Michael Jackson Song Not A Michael Jackson Song?



....When its a Rockwell song....featuring Michael Jackson. It must be nice when you're a young musician wanting to get into the music business and your childhood friend is Michael Jackson and your Dad is the owner of Motown Records.

Rockwell, actually Kennedy Gordy, released this gem of a song in early 1984 and it topped out at #2 on the Billboard charts. With the hottest singer on the planet at the time as your backup singer, its hard to imagine why it reached that high but truthfully, the song is great. Ok.....you can stop laughing at the lyrics 'cause they're not Jackson quality but the song has a great hook and a great beat (and you can dance to it) but lets be honest, its Michael Jackson that really makes this song.

The video is full of great horror movie references...but no Michael. No matter. Its still enjoyable.

So go watch it...before someone watches you (see what I did there?)
