Quincy gives his insight on the role of the producer
And talks about The Girl is Mine, Billie Jean, Beat It, and video
Um, The Girl Is Mine was fun, Paul was in Tucson
And we had to go down there and work with him for two or three days
Which was fun, and rehearsing, um, the song
And finding things, you know
Just finding things tha-tha-that make them tailor-made for them
Like the diversity in and the rap, they had
You know, they're fighting over the same girl
And this came out first
And, it's great with a record when you're following something up
Because people really paying attention to the next one
Because you know What you've got, you know
And sure enough, you know, it came out, it was successful
Because I think half of a producer's job is assuring you got the right songs
And that's the biggest fight, uh, conflict you have sometimes with the artists
If they write a lot of songs, is they are in love with everything they write
And it's hard for them to kill their babies, you know
But at one point you've got to make a decision
And choose a group of songs and say, "This is it"
Well, it starts with, you know, it all starts with a song
And Michael wrote Billie Jean and that stuff, you know
It was just highly, highly personal
According to him, he said, uh
It was about a girl that climbed over the wall
And was lounging out there
She woke up one morning, she was laying out in the pool, lounging, hanging out
Had some shades on, bathing suit on
It's just like in Baited to Play, so stalker almost
And he had accused, Michael said she had accused him of being the father of one of her twins
How do you do that? And, uh, Michael, um, um, Billy Jean
He had an intro you could shave on an intro so long
And so I said, Smelly, it's too long, you know, we gotta get to the melody quicker
He said, but that's the jelly, that's what makes me wanna dance
Now, when Michael Jackson tells you that's what makes him wanna dance
The rest of us have to shut up, you know
'Cause if it was not Bruce or Rod and I, I'm not gonna say
Well, that's what makes me dance, you know
So we had to, he, he won, you know, it was a, a quorum
Let's listen to Michael's demo recording of Billie Jean
And talks about The Girl is Mine, Billie Jean, Beat It, and video
Um, The Girl Is Mine was fun, Paul was in Tucson
