5:49-5:56 His laugh is so angelic🤣❤

[@TransformationalGaming]

Yeah he was supposed to be singing "get out of the game " but he misspoke and was singing "Rain". Michael laughing is essentially blowing the take. But he kinda goes along and actually starts singing "Rain". 😂😂😂

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

This is probably the best outtake from off the wall sessions ever. And it features can’t get outta the game too.

[@an.august.sunflower]

why does he sound so jolly for something so depressing but that laugh ✨✨

right?! lyrics are some of the coldest you'll ever hear but most folks won't get past the happy sound of the track.

I think it’s like the idea of a scarecrow is ware off birds (depressing lyrics) but on the flip side is dressed up with none threatening clothes (happy tune)

This is definitely a song that represents what entertainers, actors, etc. go through.

I love how they switch from electric bass to the synth bass and the guy goes off. Its what I listen to the most on this song. Reminds me of Flashlight.😃

[@TGGaineyProductions]

At 3:08, that's the part where the soul of Michael comes into you and you HAVE to get up and dance. This was played at a Philly Loves MJ dance party and I damn near got kicked out of the club for going overboard with the spins, kicks, points, etc.

[@ΡαφαηλΚωνσταντοπουλος]

You can’t possibly hear this song and not feel the urge to party like crazy….

[@Hudson112]

The way I like to think of it is that in The Wiz, Michael is singing as the scarecrow. In this version, Michael is singing just as himself.
