Why was Bumper Snippet (Kid) planned to be on the second disc of Dangerous: Special Edition in 2001?

For anyone who has heard this "song", it's probably quite confusing why MJ and/or Sony Music decided it would be a well-received addition to the planned 2001 2CD version of Dangerous.

As the leaked acetate version of the second disc shows, the track is around 17-seconds long and includes various noises/sound effects as performed by an uncredited child.

Could these be samples MJ and his producers used during the production of Dangerous? Why were they included as a bonus track? Why include this oddity rather than an actual outtake, such as Man in Black, Do You Know Where Your Children Are, Slave to the Rhythm, etc.?

I haven't seen much discussion surrounding the track, so if anyone has any answers that would be great.

Apparently, it was meant as a skit introduction on that 'Dangerous' bonus disc.
I always thought Bumper Snippet was a whole song from Bad era.
Both of them are just snippets, not whole songs.

The other one (not with the kid) comes from Michael Jackson while he is awaiting (during a recording session) the go ahead in order to start recording his vocals on a certain song.
 
I saw one once. He ended up as a patient in a psychiatric hospital for serious cases.

I think I heard some of the Bumper Snippet (kid) samples in Mind is the Magic, but I'm not sure. This is why I asked if anyone knew what it is and why it was planned to be included. I suppose the idea of a short intro to the second disc makes sense.
