Which db song mention's one of MJ's compositions?

Any MJ song except Bad, as that word must turn up in plenty of db songs (I've never done bad things, etc..).


Edit - just discovered there's another MJ song title which appears in 2 of Bowie's songs.

Hammerhead:

Your a hammerhead
Sweet thing
Goldwyn drive
Keep it all stuck on here
She's all black or white
Don't tell her where I'm livin'

In The Heat Of The Morning

The blazing sunset in your eyes will tantalize
Every man who looks your way
I watched them sink before your gaze
Seniorita sway
Dance with me before their frozen eyes
I'm so much in love
Like a little soldier catching butterflies

Suffragette City

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

Watch That Man

The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
A throw back from someone's LP
A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

Black or white. Excellent. 10 cyber points!

I was actually thinking of another song from the 90's, but that's a good, obscure find. A Tin Machine b-side, it doesn't get much obscurer than that!


The one I'm thinking of isn't Leave Me Alone.


Hey, man! Oh, leave me alone, you know.

The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone

Yeah, I was working on that.

I Wish You Would

Come back baby give me one more chance
You know I still love you gonna give you romance
Yeah, romance all night long
In my arms, oh yeah

Black Tie White Noise

Reach over race and hold each other's hands
Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world

Over The Wall We Go

[knock knock knock]
"Hello, who is it?"
"Double 3, 429, guv"
"Oh, hang on a minute...
Hello sonny Jim
Been wondering where you were
Did you have a nice Christmas?"

You're too wise for Mr Titch

The MJ composition that Bowie deliberately name-checked in one of his lyrics was
"We Are The World'

Interesting as he mentions another song straight after:

Walk through the night thinking we are the world... What's going on?

Hey, cool.
Simultaneous posting (like earlier). Didn't see your reply as I posted mine.

Consider yourself the Bowie lyricist genius of BWW.

Actually, pedantically looking at the original question....

I think We Are The World is the only correct answer, as it is the only time when one of Bowie's songs has mentioned a Michael Jackson composition.

All the other instances were coincidences where Bowie had written the lyrics way before MJ released his song with a title that featured in a Bowie lyric.


Anyway, you got it right. Well done!

It's a pity Bowie didn't write a line like I taught the world to moonwalk in 1974.
