[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good remake of a classic. Enjoy

[Fungi]

That is music? It is in your face noise. Enjoy if you want, I have better ways to spend time with mellifluous, melodic music that doesn't destroy brain cells.

[Sicon]

Wow! Thanks for posting! I had completely forgotten this song, and this video! (Both of which are outstanding, despite the opinion of others here :-)

[Married with Children]

This is my favorite version of the two even though I do like Michael’s version

[SaxxonWoods]

Great bass line.

Dittos to that Fungi! You must be a fellow old timer! Remember when music was really music!? The stuff the kiddies enjoy now is not for us! Oh well, each to his own I guess. I think I will go listen to some of Frank Sinatra’s classics now.....

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Well if it makes you feel better, Michael Jackson heavily copied a dance routine that Fred Astaire did in the movie Band Wagon, when dancing was really dancing. You can actually find some pretty decent Youtube videos of the Fred Astaire routine set to the Jackson music.

You sound like my Dad. And I’m 60.

Well, then you’ll certainly Love DINK’s remake of this old Sinatra classic:

Now let's not get carried away now. Neither of us know each other's age but you hit it right because music is subjective and thus "to each his own." What bothers me is when others get insulted when you don't like their musical suggestions. I was late for the sky (Jackson Browne, great album) in learning to appreciate music. Stuck on the AM band with top forty "hits" for a long time until I branched out and quit listening to that stuff--most of it rightly labelled "crap."

Now enjoy classical, jazz, big band and foreign music, while still appreciating classic rock and and any other music that sounds good to me. There is a program called "Swingtime" hosted by Johnny Magnus found here: https://www.kkjz.org/. It is on Saturdays and Sundays, 7-10 am. Johnny took over for Chuck Cecil who hosted it for over 50 years. Take a listen, it's a great show, Johnny plays too much Diana Krall (who I contend does not sing but whispers) and often too little big band, but he does a great job.
