Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson 'Say Say Say [2015 Remix]'

[@kellobello7822]

I love the "baby" Michael sings at 2:30. It's an alternate way to how he does on the original release. Sounds beautiful. Just has his natural sound.

[@mathewhorodner2000]

this song doesn't need a remix

[@reddevil9554]

I like this version. I like them both. People who are criticising it, get a life. We get to hear more of Michael Jackson from takes we've never heard before and hear him freestyle over the tune as well.

[@kazokazo172]

and its legit becouse of they didnt know how gone do they both sign both song fully they werent done like duet so even 40 year ago its was build up party.its look all those fake duets dead people used and merged with new artisrt no this was can be done 20 diffrent way at 1983 too.both sing entire song and was biriliant idea reverse it. even i love first one better just becouse of time diffrent and movie like video clip st that time.

[@elsanicklasdottirlyngvej4484]

I like this version better.

[@jacobjosephjoekobbabarney6930]

Yeah, get a life also a criticism. 😉🤦

[@user-qm7bp4ul5t]

so people is not allowed to have an opinion and they should get a life wow! ok

[@JamminJoel73]

You: GET A LIFE PEOPLE! Also You: Tries to write a paragraph on why it’s better. Can you say… “hypocrite”?

[@MysticRhythms87]

Didn't even know this remix existed until now. I haven't done my homework, but I hope that Paul and Michael buried the hatchet after all the business that happened in the late 1980's. Two legends of music, uniting to give us some excellent tunes.

[@Ltforlife22]

Paul & Linda was captured on film the set of Black or White with Michael in 1991 so looks like they were cool 🤷‍♂️

[@dabreu]

Finally a good comment.

[@eLkO187]

How come this video hasn't hit a mill yet. It's an unreleased version with added vocals by Michael. This is awesome!

[@swingriots1549]

Because you're overestimating the percentage of the population who are clamouring to hear a different take of Michael Jackson vocals

[@marcprimo1471]

I saw an interview with Paul saying that on this version they have used technology to make some of Paul’s lines sound like Michael. The line Michael sang in the original version remain unchanged.

[@KatyLee]

Paul McCartney and MJ

[@lenabarlow]

I prefer the original but I'm happy that Paul is putting something new out there, this is a cool song and it deserves to be played with so to speak. I don't mind hearing it 100 more times.

[@lanalovrencic490]

Michael's voice😍

This is art - not only from Paul and Michael - everybody who participated on this song ..

[@phil9947]

Wow... most of those kids weren't around when the original came out. :)

[@trevl8955]

More like none of those kids were around. The video was released 36 years ago.

Well. Nope, they're dancers... Most of what they dance in their life time will be from master before their time. Coool

Right

[@tomilolaolanisebe2382]

I miss Michael Jackson so much. Hearing these never heard before pieces of his just makes my heart so happy, make me feel like he's still with us. ❤❤

A versão original é uma obra de arte !

[@alex_montoya]

I miss Michael 😔

[@remtiw]

The main thing that this remix does is that it turns a Paul McCartney track into a Michael Jackson track. And that's by no means a bad thing. Aside from Michael getting more vocal coverage than Paul, it's more the way the feel of the song has changed. The original Pipes of Peace mix has more of the McCartney pop varnish on it with a lot of harmonica, synth and talkbox vocals. And while this remix has elements of those things as well, they're been given more restraint while more focus is put upon the rhythm section of bass and drums. Plus the usage of alternate vocal takes helps give the melody a rougher edge than the original, thus making the track sound less like a Pipes of Peace song and more like a Thriller outtake. Without a doubt makes it a better collab than The Girl is Mine.

[@dj139314]

I hunk it's Paul's tribute to Mj the way it was changed

[@angelche1992]

I think they recorded two versions of the song, before deciding on which album it will go. The version that was released in '83, with Paul as a leading vocal, has more of Paul's style (which is amazing, btw.. what a legend). The other version naturally would have more of Michael's style (another music legend). Afterwards, they decided that Say, Say, Say will go on Paul's album, so it was only natural to release the version with Paul as a leading vocal. In The Girl Is Mine is the other way around. I wonder why you think Say, Say, Say is better than The Girl Is Mine? Pure curiousity. I think both of them are great. P.S. The beat in this version of Say, Say, Say might've been added now (meaning 2015) for more modern sound.

[@dtp056]

i agree this song is alot better than girl is mine

[@superbassomatic]

McCartney commissioned this remix for a compilation album, and gave the mixers all the multi tracks to do whatever they wanted to do with it. Aside from the funked-up backing track, they reversed the vocal parts (as they had both recorded the song solo). Apparently, McCartney loved the end result, and commissioned this video for it. I’m not a big remix fan, but this version has a lot more kick to it.

[@superbassomatic]

McCartney commissioned this remix when he was doing his reissue project, and realized that he had full vocal tracks from both him and Jackson. So, he gave all the tracks to the mixers, and advised them to freshen it up a bit, and, in typical McCartney fashion, do whatever else the wanted to do with it. So, the end result was some different vocal lines and a punched-up rhythm track. And, a really cool, well-shot video. Excellent job here.

[@jessicavelardev]

What a marvelous version. Love you Paul, love The Beatles, love Michael. This makes me cry.

[@thefonzkiss]

Seek therapy.

[@JuanPerez_2023]

This video is an authentic work of art. The director and coreographer is an indiscutible artist. My admiration and congratulations for the young dancers, I admire them. And my admiration for Paul and Michael, this song is one of the most representative and iconic of the 80s.

[@FernandoHatsumura]

Listening to this with earphones. Wow! The bass, guitar and voices really stand out in this mix!

[@laahlima2978]

Paul fez algo que eu nunca esperei, estou muito agradecida por ele nos ter dado este gostinho do nosso amado rei do pop 💞

[@LuciaFiero]

Never heard of this before today. That gave me chills. Very nice tribute Sir Paul, thank you.

[@rtrepsas]

Wikipedia - McCartney played several instruments on "Say Say Say", including percussion, synthesizer and guitar (though it is not mentioned in the credits for the track).[10] The harmonica was played by Chris Smith, the rhythm guitar was played by David Williams, Nathan Watts played bass and drums were played by Ricky Lawson. The song was engineered by former Beatles sound engineer, Geoff Emerick.[11] The production of "Say Say Say" was completed in February 1983, after it had been refined and overdubbed at Cherokee Studios in California.

[@nycinstyle]

In this version, it sounds Paul is singing Michael's lines and Michael is singing Paul's lines compared to the way they sang the version of the song In the hit that the two actually released in the early 1980s.

[@lynchmaleideal]

Yes that’s it. The vocal takes are swapped.

[@Zoharargov]

I love the subtle differences from the original. This is great!

[@thefonzkiss]

Subtle? The vocals are completely inverse. They’re both singing the opposite parts compared to the original.

[@baba2057]

Both of the music videos and versions of this song are very coherent with their time. Love them the same

[@yannickbroers8680]

i like that they let the original track be really recognisable and didn't edit it all too much. good job guys, i love it!

[@farimahdilmaghani5751]

My favorite song of Michael, always loved it. Cool young dancers, thank u.

[@kyfifer]

I freekin' loved this song when I first heard it. Saw it around the time the Beatle's anthologies came out and aired on TV. People complaining about this new version seems kind of lame to me... Don't get me wrong, I too prefer the original. That being said, I love alternate takes too. A version of this song with more MJ?! Yes please! Alternate Macca takes too?! Very cool! In my opinion, those who hate it are free to listen to the original. I for one am grateful to hear these two sing and hope it works in grabbing younger listener's attention, even if the mix is a bit over-blown. The video is cool too. Just my two cents.

[@screenman98]

The choreographer and videographer did this song pure justice and I’m confused how people can’t see beyond an alternative version or video. Take it for what it is!!!

[@Falbala465]

Its been over 30 years that I am a fan of Michael Jackson, and arrive in 2015-2016 to track and hear her! I think that's becoming more and more of anything !! 4 or 5 horns with completely zero chorégrapgie !!!! My god or is Michael with his dance moves and his amazing talent !!! But thank you to Paul for Pipes of Peace Delux Edition and beautiful photos it contains.

[@amyandnatasha1522]

This is such an awesome version of this song. Some remixes pull the harmonica out of it and it's such a no no. This one really makes you wanna dance 💃 🕺

[@emilioferro9586]

When a great artist allows a remix of his work of art to be made, it is a sign that his heart is noble and kind!! Hail King Michael Jackson! Save the Royal Knight Sir Paul McCartney!!

[@jamiefoyers2800]

Didn't know they'd done a remix of this track. Actually going through my head today this song...great track but I don't think you can beat the original mix and video...pure class.

[@rockstopsthetraffic]

This song has long been a guilty pleasure of mine.

[@heitor4739]

Stop saying this is different. It's supposed to be different because times changed. They wanted to do something funkier and include Michael's parts never heard before. Of course the original is better, but this is new and has other vibe.

[@taffysaur]

I wouldn't call it funkier, but I agree with the spirit of your post. 😋

[@Antonio.Medeiros]

isn't this version where they change the vocal parts? where Paul sings Michael parts and viceversa?

[@eddiemorrison4127]

He's not, they just mixed it up a bit.

[@DeeckyRizzo]

+Julia Lol... it's Paul. (He says it in another video, if you don't believe).Yeah, they sound very similar in this mix.

[@thomaslytle5519]

Actually, in this version Michael IS actually singing some of Paul's original parts. The first line in each verse (orginally sung by Paul) [i.e.-"say say say what you want, but dont play games with my affection"] is Michael singing. They split the verses in this version 1st-Michael, 2nd-Paul, then Michael singing more of the bridge as well. Its very clear who is singing what.

Wikipedia - 1983, "Say Say Say" became Jackson's seventh top-ten hit inside a year. It was a number-one hit in the United States (his sixth number-one single there), Canada, Norway, Sweden and several other countries, reached number two in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten in Australia, Austria, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Switzerland and over 20 other nations. In 2013, Billboard magazine listed the song as the 41st biggest hit of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[4] It has also been voted the ninth-best collaboration of all time in a Rolling Stone readers poll.[5] The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in December 1983, representing sales of 1,000,000 copies. The single was promoted with an influential music video directed by Bob Giraldi. The short film centres around two con artists called "Mac and Jack" (played by McCartney and Jackson)
