Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney “Say Say Say” 12″ single on clear vinyl went to #1 this week of December 14th, 1983. 2015 rerelease, Record Store Day special. I picked this one up kind of as a joke, but I will totally cop to loving it back in ‘83 when I was still on my Michael high. Jackson and McCartney recorded “Say Say Say” in 1981, before the release of mega-seller Thriller, and it appears on McCartney’s ‘83 LP release Pipes of Peace. This 2015 remix reverses the vocal roles of Jackson and McCartney and the b-side is an instrumental version, with some “ooo ooo ooo’s” and “say say says” thrown in toward the end. “Say Say Say” ended up spending six weeks on the top of the US charts, Jackson’s 7th top ten hit that year which broke the record previously held by Elvis and McCartney’s old band, The Beatles. With worldwide success, it remains in the top 50 biggest hits of all-time, which is weird because I don’t think I’ve heard it (until now) since the early 80′s. The video is noteworthy for the cameos by Linda McCartney and La Toya Jackson, also for being the first to have dialogue and a storyline in a major music video.
