Reading the lyrics before listening (to get a feel for the song).
This was dedicated to Liz Taylor?


That's some group of talented people!

@TheOthetAcc An aside in wiki:
[quote] The song received a positive reception in Liberia, with women from the country viewing the song as empowering. Liberian woman Margaret Carson said in an interview with The Washington Times "when that music came out ... the Liberian girls were so astonished to hear a great musician like Michael Jackson thinking about a little country in Africa. It gave us hope, especially when things went bad ... . It made us to feel that we are still part of the world."

One of his absolute worst.

Update: I had never seen the music video before today. It's amazing to me that he was friends with so many famous people, yet people still disparage him. I cracked up at Weird Al being there.
@LordShadowfire Yes. I also loved the part when Al was playing along on his accordion. 😊
