Maybe now that he's older (wiser?) >> maybe he will "get" this song that was originally written for him. > > _come_ again?? > > MD When Thomas Dolby and Michael Jackson's Thriller were hot on the charts, Michael Jackson contacted TMDR and asked him to write a song for him. He couldn't refuse of course. "Hyperactive!" was the result, but MJ didn't "get" (understand?) the song. So TMDR kept it for himself and the rest is history. (And TMDR admitted it was a good thing he kept it!) After all, it was his biggest UK hit. This was summarized from the Hypractv8! site on AOL. - -Phil ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #32 **************************
