This week we're diving into the story of the song that accidentally ended up on "Thriller", including demos and alternate takes.

NOTE: this video is 4 minutes longer than the YouTube edit, featuring more music, and even a lame joke that didn't make the cut!


Here's the video I point to at the end

Excellent video as usual, Brandon. Now we just need an EPIC trilogy deep dive breakdown of the entire album! #challenge #LongLiveTheKing

DTG's - unique and so valuable; thanks you Brandon! FYI, and I 've noticed this on other channels and in other DTG's vids. When you point to the "it's in this video" over your right shoulder, nothing shows up? (Is that because it's the Patreon, and not YT version?)

Yeah that’s just cuz Patreon can’t embed videos like YouTube can. Maybe I’ll start recording an alternate outro so I don’t point at nothing on Patreon haha

Am I the only one who hears the theme song for the 80s sitcom Family Ties in Carousel? 🧐
