Hello guys..
Today's song is Say Say Say by Sir Paul McCartney featuring Michael Jackson.
love this song, it's soo catchy. "Say say say, what you want, but don't play games with my affection" c'mon, it gets stuck in my head like forever! And the video, holy crap, it makes me laugh all the time, it's too awsome for words, my head is explodig from the awsome! *faint* (LMAO)
"Mac and Jack" gotta love the chemistry between them in this video! Well, I know most Beatles fans always trash Michael and never give him credit, 'cause of the whole Beatles song catalog thing. But I think he did impact music in a way no one ever has. He was in a class of his own. I'm not trying to imply that he is more talented than any member of the Beatles (of course not! They were the most influentional and important icons for their country's heritage!) but each artist has his strengths and weaknesses. Fact is: They both (- The Beatles and Michael Jackson) have their place in history and have impacted music. Period.
As for the lyrics: I don't really care what the meaning is. Everyone has their own opinion. I just love this damn song!
See you later, either way, I'll leave the lyrics here:
(Paul)
Say Say Say
What you want
But don't play games
With my affection
Take take take
What you need
But don't leave me
With no direction
(Michael)
All alone
I sit home by the phone
Waiting for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleading for you
You know I'm cryin
Oo oo oo oo oo
(Paul)
(Now) Go go go
Where you want
But don't leave me
Here forever
You you you stay away
So long girl, I see you never
(Michael)
What can I do, girl
To get through to you
Cause I love you baby
Standing here
Baptized in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm cryin
Oo oo oo oo oo
You never ever worry
And you never shed a tear
You're sayin that my love ain't real
Just look at my face these tears aint dryin'
You you you
Can never say
That Im not the one
Who really loves you
I pray pray pray, everyday
That you'll see things
Girl like I do
What can I do, girl
To get through to you
Cause I love you baby
Standing here
Baptized in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know Im crying
Oo oo oo oo oo
Say say say...
(Repeat and fade out)
P.S: (2:57 - 3:00) It looks like Michael was about to laugh after Mcca puts the shaving cream on his face, so dear :)
