First words of Black or white

Maybe, but that still mean, that there were 2 vocal takes, if not more... And not only one as MJfrenzy wrongly (as most of the time) stated...
 
"Saturday Bang" is the actual lyrics and intention, regardless of how MJ Michaelised the phrasing

I have a copy of the hand written lyrics and its written Bang in Michaels writing

It does indeed look like it's actually written "Bang". I don't know if these handwritten lyrics are legit, but most probably?

Mike is clearly not singing "bang" however. He is clearly singing a word starting with "D". But his lyrics says "bang" - and I think a Saturday Bang might be like going to a party or a nightclub or something similar to this. I don't think Mike means a literal Saturday ****, knowing him well enough.

The "d" sounds like "date", which also could make the most sense as well
 
I've actually always heard it as a Saturday Bang - and that's what I've been singing for the last 20 years. - without having a single clue what a Saturday Bang is... :)

I always imagined a Saturday Bang was just a party. - Party on a Saturday seems reasonable, and a great party can be a bang, so why not go to a Saturday Bang. šŸ˜† :ROFLMAO:
 
Inventing words or using words in some context is something MJ has often done just because it flows better.
I too think it is bang and used to refer to a party, if you're naughty you could see it as a Saturday sex night with a girl but that would not really fit the theme of the song :p
