Song: Get It
Artist: Stevie Wonder feat. Michael Jackson

Look who's back, back again! It's MICHAEL!! He's actually just the "featured" performer on this slappin' song! I discovered this song after watching the Bad 25 documentary this summer. I've always loved the song Stevie features in on Michael's album Bad, Just Good Friends. In the documentary Stevie mentions that he was doing "Mike" a favor after Michael had guested on his 1987 album Characters (that I believe came out a little before Bad). Whew. That's a lot of info I just dropped there, hope you were able to follow!

This song "like totally" SLAPS!! It is straight FIRE!! ðŸ”¥ I actually think I may like it more than Just Good Friends! It's so fun and Michael's vocals are CRAZY GOOD!! They are straight dripping with soul and intensity and PASSION (of course)! One of my favorite parts is when Michael comes on with "She's sick and tired of being on that lonely merry-go-round." His vocals are...🙌😭💓 No words. He's just too ridiculously talented!!! Stevie and Michael were a dream team! I wish they had done an album together or something. They're voices, especially together, are unmatched! Absolute LEGENDS!!

Michael did say he thought Stevie was a genius. And you can tell he was highly influenced by him. Michael was so sweet and humble, always giving credit where credit was due.

Recording Just Good Friends


Is there footage of this performance!? Because I would LOVE to see it!!



[Stevie] Miss Lady Girl
Is putting her love on the shelf
Cause she don't want
To be hurt by nobody else

She's taken her heart
And put it away under lock and key
But it's high time
Miss Lady Girl sets her heart free and gives her love to me

[MJ] Some think that diamond rings, fancy cars
Will make a big impression
But I know that all she needs is my tender
Love and affection
Cause she still says

That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it

And I feel that I will be the one who will

[Stevie] No one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I know that I will be the one who will

[MJ] Gonna get it, her love
[Stevie] Gonna get it, her kisses
[MJ] Gonna get it, her heart
[BOTH] Gonna get it, get it

[MJ] Miss Lady Girl
Has buried her feelings deep inside
Cause she don't want
To be taken for another ride

She's sick and tired
Of being on that lonely merry-go-round
She just don't know
That the ultimate love
Of her life is about to be found

[Stevie] They think that ready cash, flashy clothes
Will fill her life with laughter

But I've got the very thing that she needs
True love forever after
Then no more will she say

That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will

[MJ] No one's gonna got it
No one's gonna get It, oh no
But someone's gonna get it
And I know that I will be the one who will

Gonna get it, her love
Gonna get it, her kisses
Gonna get it, her heart
Gonna get it, gonna get it, [etc.]

A few videos of Stevie honoring Michael. They had a truly remarkable and close friendship:

Stevie Wonder performing I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer at Michael's funeral 😭
You can really feel Stevie's pain and sadness from the loss of his friend. Moving performance.

Stevie Wonder talks about Michael after his Memorial Service
One thing I think about is how Stevie never judged Michael based on his changing appearance. He only knew him for the person that he was. He was a true and loyal friend to the end.

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enth
