For Day 10, Megan picked "Smooth Criminal." Today I will make a jokes about the title.
"Smooth Criminal" sounds like Blaine Anderson went to jail!
"Smooth Criminal" sounds like somebody stole all the Nair from WalMart!
"Smooth Criminal" sounds like what they should have called Brittany Spears when she shaved her head!
"Smooth Criminal" sounds like what I call my penis!
That probably went too far.
Anyway, here's the analysis. Because doing timestamps is easier, that's what I'm doing for the rest of the videos. Deal with it. Or don't, I don't care. Click "Read More" for the full analysis!
0:00 - This video is 10 minutes long? THANKS MEGAN.
0:04 - That is some sweet ass leaning.
0:20 - This overture is very inspiring.
0:27 - Yep. Cocaine will do that to you.
0:50 - Ugh. He's white. This probably won't end well.
0:57 - MEOW
1:13 - Where do I learn how to flip coins like that?
1:37 - I like his blue shirt. His tie is too long though.
2:00 - I need my own spotlight.
2:11 - Have they been saying "Annie are you walking?"
A) A quick Google search tells me the lyrics are "Annie are you OK?"
B) This song is now depressing.
2:29 - Leave her alone.
2:38 - Nice fake fighting. NOT.
2:55 - Well if you're just going to throw your money on the floor...I'll take it.
3:12 - Grabbing that ball was really cool.
3:13 - Crushing it wasn't.
3:20 - Blowing the dust in that guy's face was.
3:38 - You just got pick-pocketed, Michael.
3:45 - IF YOU ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT ANNIE, GET OUT OF THE FUCKING BAR AND GO CHECK ON HER YOU BIG IDIOT.
3:56 - That is a big fucking knife. Now I want ham.
4:02 - Hahaha, nice. I did not see that coming.
4:30 - I want a descending staircase really bad now. I don't have a use for it, but I probably will someday.
5:20 - That was a cool spin.
5:30 - I think shit just got serious. Michael is snapping. Also the music is creepy.
5:40 - Creepy ass cat on a piano. Meow.
6:15 - I don't know what is happening, but it is spooky and awesome. Legit.
6:36 - The chanting is amazing.
7:05 - Is this Annie? IS THIS LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE?!
7:12 - Nice wink.
7:15 - I wanna lean like that.
7:29 - Moonwalking circles. Nice!
7:38 - The dialouge between the kids is cute. "I taught him everything he knows!"
7:53 - The kid is good! Not MJ good, but good!
9:00 - The marching guns are creepy.
9:04 - YOU LET THAT LITTLE GIRL GO!
9:14 - Nice gun.
Another really good song, and an awesome video! I wasn't terribly into it until 5:30, when the video took a really cool turn with the snapping, and the moaning, and chanting. It was really awesome, I thought! Though I'm a little confused as to the correlation between the lyrics and the video, I thought it was awesome.
"Smooth Criminal" is one of those songs that is super catchy, even thought the subject material is rather dark. It reminds me a lot of Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks." I really enjoy the song, even though it's super dark.
Overall, I really enjoyed this song and video! Nice choice, Megan!

HOORAY!
now just so you know, i'm going to keep tweeting 8 more songs after day 12, but you don't have to review them if you don't want to. i would like it if you listened to them because choosing only 12 songs doesn't really do MJ much justice.
:D
