Strange Offspring Names:

  • Blanket - His man named his baby blanker. omg Submitted by: Jasmine
  • Prince Michael - OK, this is just sad. Not only can I not imagine going through life with a name like Prince Michael, I think it's just weird to name your kid after yourself and add 'Prince' to the name. I mean, can you imagine if I named my daughter Princess Kitty? Submitted by: Kitty
  • Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. - That's Prince's real name. And Blanket is Michael Joseph Jackson II. Prince and Blanket are just nicknames. Submitted by: doodah
  • Paris, Prince & Blanket - I think those are beautiful names, especially because I love Paris (the city). Prince was MJ's grandfather's name, and his 3rd child is also called Prince, but commonly known as "Blanket". If you think that the nickname Blanket is strange, well, you have to understand that the word has a special meaning in the Jackson family; it means "love". Submitted by: wingfoot
  • Paris Michael Katherine - Paris is for the city she was conceived in. Michael because Debbie Rowe wanted to include Michael's name in there, and Katherine after Michael's mother. Submitted by: Eric Andrews
  • Blanket - Submitted by: rio
  • Blanket - blanket IS a nickname...its a word michael has used for many years that means a blessing Submitted by: fan
  • Prince Michael & Paris Michael - Does this hypocritical 'doesn't matter if you're white or black, lets hang my kid over a balcony' freak have an obsession with naming his kids after himself? Have you looked at Jermaine Jackson? His brother's poor kids' names. Must run in the family. Submitted by: mandy
  • Blanket - Why oh why would you call your kid Blanket?!! He seems like a nice enough guy. He's a bit strange but ok. What's next-table? Chair? Plate?! Submitted by: lauren de lacey
  • Prince Michael and Paris - When my uncle (amazingly one of Michael's security guards at Neverland) first started working for him, he only saw the kids about twice a week, just walk past or something. But apparently Michael doesn't even call the kids by their "real" names-the boy, Prince Michael, is referred to as Joshua, while Paris is called Isabelle. Wierd? I thought so too-apparently to be famous you've gotta have a flashy name, why not Prince Michael and Paris? Submitted by: sally anne

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Billie Jean"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
Why They're Misrhymed:
'She is just a girl who claims that I am the one'? Okay, lets discuss this. Is this what he means?: she is just a girl who claims that I am a girl too? For the part do think twice, I always thought he sang 'don't think twice'. Just listen to that part, it sounds more like 'dont think twice' By the way, I do like Michael Jackson.
Submitted by: Anna
"Billie Jean"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl, who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Why They're Misrhymed:
One and son rhyme, but lover doesn't. The way he sings it, 'lover' sounds like 'love.' Closer, but it still doesn't rhyme. Nice try.

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Ben"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:

Dirty Lyrics:

"In the Closet"
The Dirty Lyrics:
If you can get it, it's worth a try
I really want it, I can't deny
It's just desire, I really love it
'Cause if it's aching, you have to rub it
She wants to give it
Why They're Dirty:
These are the most suggestive lyics I've ever heard, next to Janet Jackson. His canoodlings with Naomi Campbell in the video demonstrate these lyrics well. Not literally, but.. u get the picture.
Submitted by: Dark Artist
"Lady In My Life"
The Dirty Lyrics:
So listen to your heart
Move your body close to mine
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Why They're Dirty:
When I was younger, I never knew what he meant by these lines because on their own, they don't make sense. How can you touch someone with your love? It's only when I matured and other influences started to interfere with my natural line of thinking did I realise, then further compounded by the subsequent line of 'filling the girl with his dreams'. And to think of Michael Jackson of all people saying this... !o_O!

Super Long Pop Songs:

"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" Length: 6:03
This is the longest song from Michael Jackson's smash hit (still the best selling album of all time) album from 1982, "Thriller". It also has the distinction of being the only song from "Thriller" to become a hit (a top five hit in the late summer of 1983, with much help from radio dj's) without an accompanying music video. It also is a hit because of it's cross-over dance elements, with hints throughout of reggae, African dance pop (the last line is from "Soul Makossa" a 1973 hit from Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango), country line dance and just good old fashioned American rock and soul dance and disco. It was written by Mark Anthony Neal.

Foreign Language in English Songs:

"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"
The Lyrics:
Help Me Sing It, Ma-Ma-Se, Ma-Ma-Se, Ma-Ma-Coo-Sa, Ma-Ma-Se, Ma-Ma-Sa, Ma-Ma-Coo-Sa ... (repeat until fade)
Why:
"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" was a top five hit for Michael Jackson from 1983. It was another smash hit taken from Michael Jackson's huge 1982 lp, "Thriller" (still the largest selling lp in history). "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" was a hit in the late summer of 1983, and was an instance dance classic (despite Michael's later troubles, this hit is still very much appreciated on dance floors with it's connection to country line dancing sensibility). "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" is also something of an internationally made hit. The last lines or more accurately utterings as I have printed here, as told to other by the writer of the song, Mark Anthony Neal, are taken from Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango's suprise 1973 U.S. hit, "Soul Makossa", and roughly translate from the original French as, "My-My-My-My-Its- My-My-Its-Coo". "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" was also the longest song on the Michael Jackson "Thriller" lp at 6:03 in length and was the only song on the lp to not be made into a music video (despite it's success on the charts).
