for all time is a commemorative version of "Thriller25" in 28. The lyrics and songs are all Michael Jackson.

There is no introduction to the song off the wall, only the introduction of this album. . . . Why not introduce some more famous songs by Michael Jackson? Some of his songs are of epoch-making significance. . .

1.Billie Jean

Text: Jody Rosen Translation: Keen

It was the summer of 1982. Jackson is on Highway 11 in Los Angeles. When he and producer Quincy Jones worked in the recording studio for a few days for the sequel to Off The Wall, he drove home. According to the memory of Jackson in his autobiography in 1988, he was "deeply immersed in a melody lingering in his mind", so he didn't realize that the chassis of his luxury car began to smoke.

"As we were driving off the expressway, a young man rode a motorcycle and told us,' You are on fire'! So we suddenly noticed the smoke and stopped the car quickly. The bottom of the whole Rolls-Royce was on fire. That child really saved our lives. " However, even a brush with death cannot shake Jackson's obsession with his work in progress. "Even when we sought help and found a new way to our destination, I was quietly writing more materials."

This song is perhaps the most self-centered work that Jackson has ever written. The inspiration for this drama about the claim of fearful parent-child relationship comes from the experiences of the singer and the paranoid female fans. Jackson worked on this song for several months and was sure that he had something unusual in his hand.

"Musicians know what will be the best-selling material. Everything has to feel in place. Let you feel complete and feel good. " Jackson recalled, "This is how I felt about ‘Billie Jean'. I knew it would be a blockbuster when I wrote it. "

Jackson is right: at least, "Billie Jean" is a bestseller. It was released in January, 1983, and it won the first place in the Billboard list for seven weeks, and it won the title in R&; B-list won the championship for nine weeks, sold 1 million single records, and made Thriller, the most successful commercial masterpiece in the history of pop music, soar to the sky, selling more than 14 million copies worldwide, surpassing any other album, whether before or after.

But the position of this song in history is far from just a few numbers. "Billie Jean" broke the racial boundaries of MTV and destroyed the racial segregation in commercial radio stations for generations. When the modern music video era came, this single led the trendy pop music in the post-soul song era, and it still has far-reaching influence today. First of all, "Billie Jean" marked the coming of his adulthood. A former child star turned into a new generation of Elvis Presley and the Beatles, and became a super pop idol in the second half of the 2th century.

It's absolutely remarkable that such a song, which is still the weirdest today, can reach the top 4 of the singles list. Jackson's previous personal works were all luxurious discos, but "Billie Jean" was creepy, jumping in the gap between the keyboard sound and the chord music with a pulse-lingering bass, a whip-like remake and a grotesque multi-track singing. For many years, the audience has been used to Jackson's special singing style-falsetto scream, "hehe-hee" and james brown-style roar and wording-but in 1982, no one heard a song like this, which only upgraded its uneasy influence and felt that "Billie Jean" was actually a five-minute collapse, in terms of rhythm.

this eccentricity is not accidental. Bruce Switon, a recording studio engineer in Quincy Jones for many years, recalled: "When we recorded ‘Billie Jean', ... Quincy told me,' Well, this piece of music must have the most unique sound characteristics, if we have never recorded it.' Jones asked Jackson to put the recording of singing on the original tape through a six-foot cardboard tube; He also brought tom scott, a jazz saxophone musician, to play a rare musical instrument, Lyricon, a wind synthesizer, which is sour and horn-like, and skillfully weaves the whole piece. Bassist Louis Johnson experimented with all kinds of guitars he owned until Jackson decided to use Yamaha guitar as a orchestration, which could play the ideal heavy and buzzing music. "

At the same time, Sveton also searched for the perfect beat through craft projects. He hired a carpenter to build a special drum stand and ordered a specially made bass drum to design isolated drums to capture the correct image on the snare and drum stand. "See if you can think of any other music that will make you know what it is as soon as the first three drums ring?" Switon said, "This is what I call sound quality."

But the main part of this trait was almost spared in the final editing. "Billie Jean" rarely begins with a long bass and drums-Jackson didn't start singing until the 29th second-so Jones wanted to trim it, but Jackson strongly demanded that it be kept.

"I said,' Michael, we have to cut the beginning,'" Jones recalled. "He said,' But that's jelly!' Jelly is Jackson's private jargon, and he uses "smelly jelly" to mean crazy beat. "That makes me want to dance." Oh, if Michael Jackson tells you,' That makes me want to dance', the rest of us have to shut up.

It is Jackson's dance, together with his singing, that promotes the phenomenon of "Billie Jean". On May 16, 1983, more than 5 million people watched Jackson perform his fascinating famous spacewalk for the first time at the 25th anniversary party of Motown. In addition, in the music video of this song, Jackson also crossed and spun around the dreamlike urban landscape, and the sidewalk kept shining everywhere he stepped, just like he stepped on a disco. MTV almost never shows videos of black performers. When they refused to show "Billie Jean", Walter Yeni Cove, president of Columbia Records Company, lost his temper. "I said to MTV,' I will remove all our works from the TV station. I won't give you any new videos to play. I'll go to public and tell them the fucking truth that you don't play black music. After that, "Billie Jean" was quickly played repeatedly, and neither Jackson nor MTV talked about this past.

These images are recorded in the cultural memory forever. But it was Jackson's personal creation that made "Billie Jean" such a fascinating psychological drama-it was the real thriller on his landmark album. Few songs can convey so many Freudian psychological materials: paranoia, delusion, sexual fear, temptation and shame, which are mixed in the lyrics, hovering between straightforward denial ("The kid is not my son" is not mine) and apparent confession ("This happened so fast that she called me to her room"). Today, "Billie Jean" looks more like a fable about the distorted relationship between celebrities and admirers. This theme has been adapted into a video, in which Jackson is tracked by a detective wearing a military coat. This is the greatest artistic declaration on star chasing made by the most famous man in the world-he has had his clothes torn by the audience since he was 1 years old.

whether it has greater autobiographical or historical significance, "Billie Jean" is still a dance music after all. Numerous radio or MTV broadcasts have not weakened the power of this song to shock the speakers.

"Billie Jean" is a hot topic at all levels, "said Greg Fuehlingen, a legendary recording studio musician in the Los Angeles area, who played the keyboard in this song. "It has a cool rhythm, it has a cool sound effect, it has a cool melody, it has cool lyrics, and it has a cool interpretation. It affects you physically, emotionally and even spiritually. " Twenty-three years later, Michael Jackson can be sure that no one can make a better "smelly jelly".

2. Beat it

"Beat it" is a famous American pop musician, and Michael Jackson, who is known as the "king of pop", is one of the main songs included in his 1982 album "Thriller". This song is very popular with the public, and many stars, from Teresa Teng to the recent Fall Out Boy, have covered it.

This song was written, composed and sung by Jackson himself. Later, at the suggestion of Reagan, then President of the United States, this song was used in a public service advertisement to persuade against drunk driving. Jackson himself was invited to the White House by President Reagan, and personally awarded the "World Outstanding Youth Award" and "Special Contribution Award". At the same time, Jackson also won the 26th Grammy for Best Rock Male Singer with the song Beat It. The design and shooting of the music video of this song is cross-century and widely praised.

Beat It is a music work against social violence. Through Beat It, young people are warned to avoid unnecessary troubles. Violence can't solve all problems, but will only hurt themselves. Michael gave good advice to the younger generation in the United States by singing. At that time, President Reagan suggested that his song be used in a public service advertisement warning young people not to drink and drive. Michael agreed to this request of President Reagan. Therefore, Michael was invited by President Reagan to the White House to personally award him the "World Outstanding Youth Award" and "Special Contribution Award", and also won the 26th Grammy for Best Rock Male Singer with Beat It.

This non-disco-style hard rock-and-roll 4/4-beat dance music will definitely refresh you. After the sudden thumping sound like a horn at the beginning, the flowing melody poured out, in which Michael sang passionately and combatively. The real theme of this song is different from its singing style, which may be more impressive.

One of the highlights of this song is Eddie Van Helen's cross-knife performance, the soul of Van Helen's band. His skillful and superb guitar skills are undoubtedly displayed in the song. That breathtaking guitar solo has become a compulsory subject for many guitar lovers in future generations. It is because of the excellence of Beat It and other songs on the album that Thriller has reached the peak of music.
