Beat it - Michael Jackson

min.2:14 "You've got it Eddie!"

(no me digas!)

Antes que me pongáis a parir la calidad del vídeo ya se que no es buena, pero el acontecimiento es singular: Michael Jackson y Van Halen en el mismo escenario. Y es que el solo de Beat it esta compuesto por Van Halen (uno de los mejores solos de la historia, ahi queda eso) y la guitarra principal es Steve Lukather (te cagas) en una canción que triunfó entre los seguidores del pop y del rock por igual....

La canción fue 3 semanas consecutivas siendo numero 1 del Billboard en abril de 1983. Fue el tercer single de Thriller (el primero fue sorprendentemente - desde el punto de vista actual - "This girl is mine", un dueto con Paul McCartney).

El video original no puede ser mejor:

El baile (a partir del min. 3:50) es genial y fue despues imitado por todos (incluyendo los grandes maestros de baile de no.vandenberg.no backstreetboys). Supuestamente entre los bailarines esta Wesley Snipes, Tracii Guns y otros... De todas formas, un vistazo al final del video se ve que hay gente que no pilla bien el baile (ya les vale). Van Halen no aparece en el video supuestamente porque pensaba que la cancion no iba a tener ningun exito (gran vision comercial).

Eso si, las letras (que dejo al final) y pensar que para el disco tenian 300 canciones a elegir (!) te hace pensar que el exito a veces es mas por un momento dulce que por calidad....

THEY TOLD HIM DON´T YOU EVER COME AROUND HERE
DON´T WANNA SEE YOUR FACE, YOU BETTER DISAPPEAR
THE FIRE´S IN THEIR EYES AND THEIR WORDS ARE REALLY CLEAR
SO BEAT IT, JUST BEAT IT

YOU BETTER RUN, YOU BETTER DO WHAT YOU CAN
DON´T WANNA SEE NO BLOOD, DON´T BE A MACHO MAN
YOU WANNA BE TOUGH, BETTER DO WHAT YOU CAN
SO BEAT IT, BUT YOU WANNA BE BAD

[CHORUS]
JUST BEAT IT, BEAT IT, BEAT IT, BEAT IT

SO BEAT IT, BUT YOU WANNA BE BAD
