Billie Jean
lesson learned: Michael is MAGIC. furthermore, BITCH he ain't yo baby daddy!
Freddy Mercury and George Michael are rival gang leaders who get into a dangerous yet graceful knife fight. Michael Jackson steps in before someone gets hurt.
lesson learned: good choreography settles all disputes.
Thriller
the music video so epic, it came with a disclaimer. lasting over thirteen minutes, it combines two of my favorite movie genres--horror and musicals.lesson learned: ......i still can't get through the first two minutes without shitting my pants.
Say Say Say with Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney and MJ scam town members (most of whom are old as hell) for money that they then use to fund their back alley orphanage.lesson learned: the elderly are easily swindled.
Leave Me Alone
the video tours a Michael Jackson theme park where the only patron is Michael Jackson. yes, in case you were wondering, that is a bust of Elizabeth Taylor.lesson learned: LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE
Black or White
Macaulay Culkin uses the power of his guitar to blast his father (the guy from Cheers) across the Earth where he learns about other cultures by watching Michael Jackson dance. in the end it turns out Michael is an animorph. he wrecks racist shit. awesome.
lesson learned: Macaulay Culkin is one hell of a rapper. oh yeah and racial discrimination is wrong.
this ended up being longer than i intended. i guess the moral of the story is: i love all of Michael Jackson's music videos. go watch them. all of them are incredibly entertaining. here are a few others to note:
Jam- MJ teaches the other MJ (Michael Jordan) to dance and in return learns basketball.
Remember the Time- pharaoh Eddie Murphy's wife is promiscuous and Michael has Alex Mack powers
Earth Song- what have we done to the world?
Bad- watch your mouth, Michael has a gang.
Smooth Criminal- straight up gangsta shit. children, avert your eyes.
i was never a big michael jackson fan, but i always liked his music. it was never in for me though when i was illegaly downloading music, so alas i haven't listened to it more than when i hear it in friends' cars. i think ill invest in a download though.
ReplyDeletei really like the thriller and smooth criminal videos though.
MJ is certainly the king of something, if not pop. He has influenced our generation and those before us in ways we don't even realize cuz he's just amazing like that.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
