So, what's your Michael Jackson earworm?
Whatever you may think about his personal life :puke: , if you're much over 30, you know damn well you've got one right now. So, what is it?

Mine: "Rock With You".

33. Smooth Criminal too
this morning Hal Sparks, subbing for Stephanie Miller, played part of that song and then explained how he thought Michael was inspired by learning CPR (recussa-Annie) and the "Annie are you okay" referring to the "Are you okay" part of the training. Sparks said that Jackson might have learned CPR back then because he was around so many sick kids.

Well the song is stuck in my head now, but it is a good song and way catchy! :hi:

39. Same. Which is the only one of the big hits I didn't hear on the radio today.
Which actually did bum me out a little, despite my revulsion for his crimes.

27. As the only Michael Jackson I to which I paid any attention
also wrote "The Beer Hunter" I can honestly say there are no earworms of that other Michael Jackson in my head. And I am well over 30 years of age :D

I am a fan of his music, moreso from Bad on back. The music I love from him makes him a favorite.

31. "Remember the Time"
I don't think I even like the song, but it is utterly insidious. Especially when he starts scatting.

"IN THE PARK! ON THE BEACH! YOU AND ME! IN SPAIN!
BUT WHAT ABOUT! WHAT ABOUT!
DRRRROP, DOP DOP DOP, DRRRROP, DOPUDOP DOPUDOP!"

43. It was Black Or White, because I listen to that fairly frequently, but
for the last hour or so, it's been Beat It.

And yes, I'm way over 30. :D

the last track on disc one of the HIStory album so it must have burrowed into my brain while I was sleeping last night.
