47. Michael Jackson - Leave Me Alone

Found On: Bad (1987)

Even in his heyday Michael was feeling put upon. Each of multi-tracked vocals on the chorus is impassioned and desperate. The collage / stop-motion video (featured in the film Moonwalker) actually showed a sense of humor, with Bubbles the chimp and the Elephant Man both making appearances.

"Leave Me Alone" is not featured on the original August 1987 release of BAD. This track was released in 1989. You will find the track on the re-release of the CD VERSION of the album, released some years later [not that anyone cares??]

i love Michael Jackson i loved his music how amazing he was at dancing he was great show man but under it all he was a shy little boy who never grew up like they said in peter pan i was sad when i heard he had died on the other way i was glad as i think he was suffering so much in his head and they way his body was shutting down
