The Twelve Days of Michael Jackson - Day 1

Because nobody will let me live down not knowing Michael Jackson like the back of my hand, Megan has started the “12 Days of Michael Jackson,” in an attempt to school me in the music of the so-called King of Pop. Here’s my review of the first song, “Say, Say, Say” by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

As the saying goes –

fruit: good

cake: great,

fruitcake: nasty crap.

It seems the same can be said for music.

Michael Jackson: good

Paul McCartney: great

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!

Honestly, Paul McCartney was just super creepy in this video. In an ironic turn of events, Michael Jackson rocked this song. Every time Michael Jackson started singing, I got into the song. Poor McCartney struggled through the whole thing. It was like watching a deer that was just struck by a truck try to stagger to the side of the road. It was so sad and you honestly just wanted the poor thing to be put out of its misery.

Paul McCartney looked like a cracked out version of Freddy the Freeloader and Michael (we’re on a first name basis now) looked like he should be standing in line asking ,“Please sir, can I have some more?” Also, can we take a moment to figure out where the hell they were? It was a like a cheap musical version of Back to the Future III, which I hated by the way.

At one point during the video, they both croon to some guitar playing music slut. I’m sorry, but are they getting ready to tag team that guitar lady? By the way, who the hell prances around in shaving cream? Here’s a tip: no two men should be shaving together unless they are gay or a father is teaching his son how not to cut his nose off.

Finally, the clown thing is only cute when Cam does it. Nice try McCarckson. 

I couldn’t enjoy this song because of McCartney. Sorry, MJ. Better luck next time.
