its been awhile since ive chased the rumor. it couldve been something bryan said in an off post, but i also think it may have been a tweet by bill? its been repeated by fans a lot over the years. basically, michael got pissed off bryan said too much to the press about the album. i think the speculation ends up being more on "and thats why his songs started dropping off the whiteboard." ill look through bills tweets and old blogposts later

I’m surprised he never came up with an idea for a Sunset Driver/Speed Demon mashup.

What is Sunset driver actually about..?
Is it a warning about drinking/partying too much? A girl..?


Hoo
Hee
All alone she's in the ego zone
The word is out that you're doing wrong
On the move got fire in your shoes
By word of mouth you are on the news
You're living on sunset time (you're livin' on sunset time)
(Hoo)
Feeling bad
You're living much too fast
The truth, the truth that you're on the pass
In the raw they don't know what you saw
From word of mouth you're breaking every law
Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Morning rider
You're a Saturday nighter (oh)
On the go, got fever in your soul
You better not shout where you gonna go
Living hot, doing what you should not
The break's on me then what do you got
We're livin' on sunset time (we're livin' on sunset time)
(Want that dime)
Shoot the breeze, you feel that she's the tease
Your night is free, what you wanna be?
Who's to trust when living dangerous?
Tonight is your night, but this is what you lose
Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
You're getting higher
You're a Saturday nighter (oh)
(Hoo)
(Hee)
You are there when the night's in town
Standing there with the top of the round
They don't care about the things in which you saw
You're like the cinema, you think there's nothing wrong (hoo)
Go in town, you do it every time
The word's got out that you're on the line
On the moon, got fever in your shoes
The night's on you, what are you gonna do?
Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Got to reach that driver, you're a Saturday nighter (oh)

Do we know if "Coco Butter" is circulating?
Btw, what do we know about the song? Is it an instrumental?

I think "Coco Butter" is an alternate title for "Butter Funk", there were a handful of songs listed in the bedroom notes which were worded slightly differently than their actual titles such as "I Was The Loser" being titled "The Loser", "The Way You Love Me" as "Ways You Love Me", etc. so I believe "Coco Butter"/"Butter Funk" was another of those. Damien confirmed that "Butter Funk" is an instrumental.

I’ve added some of it, not all yet! Version we have is derived from the live drums version? What do you mean exactly like the vocals?

also, could you PLEASE add the full and alternate version of WAHTCTW to the tracker? they leaked in seminars a few years back, and they seem to always be forgotten, despite me asking other editors to add it for almost a year now lol

A Driver of Sunset Proportions.

No I actually got interested myself, this is what I found:

Randy (Jackson) was the youngest brother and did not have the strict upbringing his five brothers had. Randy enjoyed more freedoms than his brothers experienced at his age. The song expresses Michael’s concern and warnings to his younger brother.
 
I'm putting this here cause I have no idea where else I could ask the question, but what are the correct labels for the Billie Jean demos?

The multitrack one is #2 (Hayvenhurst) and the 5-minute-something one is #3 (Westlake), right?

Reading over this it does seem like this could now allow MJ estate to publish some unreleased songs he worked on, not that I care since it’s like all already heard but yeah. Specifics aren’t really mentioned but it does seem to be on the table.

There could be some songs that the estate could release now.

I got the opposite impression. The Estate wasn’t involved at all.

It doesn’t matter if the MJ estate is involved. Unless I’m mistaken the issue was that the QJ estate wouldn’t allow the MJ estate to publish songs QJ had worked on. Since those QJ rights are held by a different entity, this could now mean those might can be allowed, assuming this company is interested in it.

Thing is, HarborView sounds like a company that doesn't exactly share the same views Quincy has. So it's possible that they could be easier to work with. Hell, best case scenario: the unknown cuts from OTW and Thriller could be released (if the former exists which seems to be likely given copyright registrations exist for a few songs).
