Song of the Day - Beat it : Michael Jackson
I got the Micheal Jackson number one’s CD for $10 bucks at target on the way home for christmas and I just now listened to it for the first time. It is so energetic and full of life, I love it! It is so hard to be in a bad mood while listening to Michael belt out all of his famous pop songs.
Beat it is one of my favorites. So many songs start off slow and crescendo into a powerful chorus and then slowly begin to fade away. This song is different. The very first word that he says seems like he is angry, determined, and passionate. You have got to love those 80s pop songs!
