I hear "I took my baby on a Saturday dance..."
I hear "Saturday bang"
it isn't saturday bang? like an amazing saturday night lol Have i been making things up for the past 23 years? lol
That's cos that's what it is. The lyrics say so, his mouth says so plus the final clue is that he says the words Saturday bang.
I used to say bang too, but now I definitely hear dinner.
Whether I'm wrong or not, I've always sang it as "I took my baby on a Saturday DATE..."
Listen to it in the acapella and TII, folks. It's "bang".
It's like in They Don't Care About Us, you hear, "Don't you say that I f****d a baby", this is even on the radio edit, I think his ambiguous take on lyrics was quite intelligent.
Unlike his usual practice, Michael Jackson did not record many vocal takes for this song but only one.When did he say this? I think that is incorrectt. They said that Michael recorded many vocal takes for this song, as he always does for good measure, but they ended up using the first take on the album.
Again... not true... This Demo just proves this is another vocal tgake with mispelled lyrics...Unlike his usual practice, Michael Jackson did not record many vocal takes for this song but only one.
This only one vocal take was recorded at the early recording sessions of the album, and it ended up being used on the finished version of the song.
"After the first few days of working on it, we really had the core of the song, the verses, the chorus, and Michael sang it really early on" (Bill Bottrell, 2015)
Bill Bottrell had also stated:
"Michael performed a scratch vocal … for me the best thing about 'Black Or White' was that his scratch vocal remained untouched throughout the next year and ended up being used on the finished song" (Bill Bottrell, 2004)
Bill Bottrell immediately found this first vocal take brilliant, Michael Jackson agreed with him and no other vocal takes were later recorded for this song.
