Back in 2009 a previously unreleased MJ song called “A Place With No Name” surfaced. According to one reader, “The album booklet for Xscape states that ‘A Place With No Name’ was recorded during an early Invincible session in 1998.”.

One day I was in a French restaurant and heard a beat and bass line that really sounded like “Billie Jean”. Even the synth string part was similar. It was in French and sounded disco-era. I pulled out Shazam on my iPhone and bingo – “Elle danse Marie” by François Valéry.

Have a listen to The Jackson 5’s 1978 “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” then have a listen to the intro to Huey Lewis & The News – “I Want a New Drug” (1984). There’s also this whole Huey Lewis vs. Ghostbusters thing you can look at after this.
