It's a pity you can't see it, Russ; for me, though it's obviously a very staged production, it has all the visual excitement of what I'd think great street photography should be about.
(On a musical note - I used to have it on tape, and it made perfect driving music for motorways. Took the mind totally off the boredom of the road... ;-) !)
There's an Italian radio station that I pick up in the afternoons on the car radio - RDS or something similar, strange it reaches Mallorca on FM - and the other day I thought I was about to hear the MJ song in question. To my surprise, despite the incredibly similar sound and driving rhythm, it turned into a Motown-style song with totally different words that seemed, themselves, to be ripped off something else I sort of remember...
Wedges and thin ends...
