im downloading the 2 hour doc right now tho :whoo:

im sorry but streetwalker>>>>>>another part of me


the thumbsnapping in that track and the woo-woo into the drums then the beat drop :ooh:

if they wanted to move units they could have sold that on the captain eo soundtrack

plus mikes originall intended cover for the album>>>>>

They should've added it to the album along with Another Part of Me...never understood why they had to choose. But thanks to the power of mp3s, I can build my own album :win:. Streetwalker fits perfectly after TWYMMF and before Speed Demon imo:

  1. Bad
  2. The Way You Make Me Feel
  3. Streetwalker
  4. Speed Demon
  5. Free
  6. Just Good Friends
  7. Song Groove
  8. Another Part of Me
  9. Man in the Mirror
  10. I Just Can't Stop Loving You
  11. I'm So Blue
  12. Dirty Diana
  13. Smooth Criminal
  14. Price of Fame
  15. Leave Me Alone

But Jackson had another mission. He wanted to toughen his street cred in the black community, especially with with the title song and the 18-minute short film that Scorsese directed for it. The record’s producer, Quincy Jones, had originally hoped Bad’s title track would be a “showdown” duet with Prince, says Lee. “There was a meeting held at Michael’s house. The story goes that Prince showed up with a box, and Michael was convinced there was some type of voodoo inside and Prince was trying to cast a spell on him. If Prince had given me the honour of an interview,” says the director, “I would have asked about that ’cause we only heard from one side about that voodoo box. Hopefully one day Prince will go on record and give his story about that historic meeting.”

Lee did his best to get Prince on camera. “I tried, I tried,” he said. “He didn’t want to do it. And I’m friends with him—to be honest, our relationship was friendlier than with Michael.” Lee has made two videos for Jackson, but afterwards he never heard from him again, but he says, “me and Prince have been talking for years.” The two elfin superstars, both Jehovah’s Witnesses, had an intense rivalry, according to Cee Lo Green, who first met Jackson at a Prince concert. Lee compares them to basketball’s Magic Johnson and Larry Bird: “Neither one wants to be bested by the other guy.”


i wonder what actually went down in that interview

Al Capone should've been on BAD. It would've been a hit. Even though it was re-written and became Smooth Criminal, i think it would've been a hit as it's own standalone record.
:whoo: :lawd:
