Michael Jackson

Tenderoni you've got to be

Michael Jackson. "P.Y.T." Thriller, MJJ Productions Inc., 1982.

He said it himself, "don't stop 'til you get enough," so let's keep this MJ train a-rollin'.

This one goes out to all the pretty young things.

🎶  Where did you come from lady?
And ooh won't you take me there
Right away won't you baby?
Tenderoni you've got to be
Spark my nature
Sugar fly with me
Don't you know now
Is the perfect time
We can make it right
Hit the city lights
Then tonight ease the loving pain
Let me take you to the max 🎶 

Guide you to the light babe

Michael Jackson. "Butterflies." Invincible, MJJ Productions Inc., 2001.

🎶 All I got to say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near me
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby you give me butterflies 🎶 

Take me down, six underground

Sneaker Pimps. "6 Underground (Nellee Hooper remix)." Becoming X, Clear Up Records Ltd. Issued under exclusive license in America to Virgin Records America, 1996.

Sometimes it's a mad sprint to get everything done. Today this track is just what I need to slow things down for a moment.

Plus, it samples De La Soul's "Breakadawn," which in turn samples Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It." Ah one two, ah one two.

A treasure time won't steal away

Michael Jackson. "The Lady In My Life." Thriller, MJJ Productions Inc., 1982.

Sadly, songwriter and musician Rod Temperton passed away earlier this month. He left us with many incredible songs that became instant classics, including this one from Michael Jackson's record-breaking Grammy award-winning album Thriller, produced by the legendary Quincy Jones almost 35 years ago.

Some of you may have picked up on the sections of this track that have been sampled over the years since it was first released -- there are over 30 counts according to WhoSampled -- my favourites of which include LL Cool J's "Hey Lover (feat. Boyz II Men)," Ghostface Killah's "Daytona 500 (feat. Raewkon & Cappadonna)," and People Under The Stairs' "Ambien Hallway Music." If not, check them out below.
