“Don’t Be Messin’ Around” is an unreleased demo crafted by Michael Jackson in 1987 to be included on his Thriller album, but it didn’t make the cut.
The track was then presented as the first unreleased track off the BAD 25 campaign to be released as a bonus cut on the forthcoming I Just can’t Stop Loving You single, according to MJDatabank.com.
[audio:michael-jackson_dont-be-messin-around.mp3]Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round is a song that already has a history among MJ fans and connoisseurs. Way back in July 2009, legendary sound engineer and longtime Jackson collaborator Bruce Swedien revealed to columnist Roger Friedman that the track was just — simply put — mindblowing: « Michael plays piano on it, and it’s just beautiful. » He added: « Oh my God, there’s nothing like it. » He also stated that Jackson plays the piano on it, a feat that has always been underestimated (he also plays drums on Morphine and keyboards & synthesizers on the lost and underrated track Children’s Holiday, a song Jackson penned for the Japanese band J-Friends in 1998 and also recorded on his own).

Aww a post for my SIS.
def not worthy of being on thriller, nice to hear but it should be just what it is a lot track that we hear
he also plays drums on Morphine

interesting…it’s got kind of a calypso beat…
Who’s idea was this? These vultures just want to keep making money off of my boy. A demo? They need to stop the nonsense.
I can actually see why it didn’t make the cut though…it’s not a bad song, but he has done MUCH better…and I don’t see where this would have fit in on the ‘Bad’ album…
I freaking love MJ
As a proud OKC resident I just dropped in to say….Thunder the fluck up!!!!

Is it a musical instrument I don’t know about, or Sandra being messy?
Of course he thinks its mindblowing. He wants to make some money off of it. Unfortunately, it’s pretty obvious why it didn’t make the album.
I know it was days when MJ was living
Im sure it was certain points in his live where he was sitting back
in a HUGE ass chair Rubbing his bet Mongoose
Looking at Peformances of Justin Timberlake and Usher and even Chris Brown…
Im thinking Mike would say…. “Im bad than a muthafker…isnt that right Mr Mongoose?”
And they released this now???
Not that I think the song is bad but this doesn’t sound like anything out right now, and not in a good way. Leave his isht alone.
Mike was a perfectionist, so maybe he made the decision
I can’t listen to it.

I’m still a little giddy my damn self.
If the Celtics win tonight this might be the best birthday week ever.
Cool song. This is how all the hits start out, all it needed was some further production
I’m assuming Morphine was a song that he played drums on.
@ IGO…honestly, I think JT, Usher and Neyo come closer to MJ than CB. CB may be the best dancer but, I think the others have him beat as far as being all around performers(better singers and songwriters) while CB just has them beat as a dancer.
Cheeks, that’s my song

I sort of agree and sorta don’t. The fact is Chris actually is a good singer it’s just that he doesn’t do it much now that he is a straight up techno artist. But Ne-Yo is Mike’s mini me.
long live the GOAT !!
I could use a glass of chardonnay right about now shat
@MzDimpz I think Neyo comes closest to Quiny Jones, as far as songwriting and musicianship goes. MJ was an incredible artist, but Quincy Jones made that trademark sound for him.

Did you hear that he was treating for our after hours cocktails yo? (even though you don’t drink)

Yes this is a matter of your opinion. Mike voice was on point. Mofo’s still can’t do the notes he did today. They can’t sing his songs. Their range is not the biz. Add up all his qualities and they equal LEGEND.
He influenced the people who influence you. So yes He is the BEST.

I agree Mike was no Luther vocally, but like Chris is had a very good voice (not excpetional) and could perform like no other. I don’t even think he was the best dancer in the world. He was just a real tight package when it came to performing overall. He was really good at all aspects.
@ Bird..I don’t think Chris is that great a singer. He’s actually male Ciara to me.
@ IGO..I don’t think any of them are on Mike’s level, I just think they are closer to it than Chris. Neyo is ahead of them all to me though.
SHOUT OUT TO SHAFFER!
@ Cousin..Yall going out at night?! I may not be able to make it. I got date with the lil one and i’m not trying to get beat up when he’s had this date planned since last year.
Hey I like most of his music. Just saying I’ve never seen him as “THE BEST” Yes he is a legend. No doubting. He is talented….no denying. But I’m not offended when someone is compare to him. I don’t think he is untouchable. He did the same dance moves, song the same songs, performances were always similar.
Same complaints I hear about Bey. I don’t think Bey is the greatest but she is TALENTED!
That’s cute, getting a Yorkie in a couple of weeks, name her Bella I can’t wait

BLASPHEMY!!! No one, other than Cassie, should be insulted in such a way. So you don’t think Chris hung with Jordan Sparks on No Air? That’s really when I started to appreciate his vocal ability. But neva eva would I say he is bad enough to be put in the category with Ciara and Cassie. Claude have mercy.

I love NEYO!! I have seen him live as well and he is no Mike. He will due though.
I think Mike proved on several occasions that these younguns ain’t fugging with him. Anybody remember the concert they did with all the stars performing. Well on Mike set (You rock my world) Usher came out trying to dance and Mike shut his arse down. I was cracking up!!! It was a mini challenge!!! I caught it. Usher couldn’t hang.
@ Bird..I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Both of great dancers and ok singers. I actually like him on hooks better than I do whole songs. I’m not impressed by him vocally at home. He has some decent songs but, I think Ci-Ci does too.
I am so cool on “new” music from MJ. I’m happy with what HE was happy putting out. If he didn’t think it was good enough to released at the time it should just be left at that.
Damn vultures.

*****************************
Ah, I feel ya now. You actually think that Ciara has a modicum of vocal ability. I don’t. Chick can’t sing a lick the way my ears tell it. She’s had some great songs, but the production and the arrangements were solely responsible for anything good about them. Ciara was really just the face, sorta like Millie Vanilli. Chris can sing a melody without being propped up by production tricks. Or he used to. The reality is that since he has gone 100% techno I have not even heard his true voice in a long time.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@ Bird…I said she’s had decent songs, not she’s a decent lyricist.
We gotta agree to disagree on this one cause I see no major difference between the two.
