Today's Song: Michael Jackson 'Speed Demon (Nero Remix)'  Yet
another of the "new" offerings from the upcoming Bad 25 box set
has leaked: a remix of "Speed Demon," best known for its video
(really, an excerpt from Moonwalker), in which Michael Jackson
dances alongside a clay rabbit that is also himself. Or
something.  "Speed Demon" is filler on an overrated album (there
are a few good tunes on Bad, but they're almost all terribly
produced in that mushy late-'80s way), so I think this
reimagining from dubstep/drum-and-bass producers Nero marks an
improvement. It's pretty derivative of Human After All era Daft
Punk, but that's the case of a hell of a lot of dance music that
came in its wake. The production here matches MJ's pseudo-butch
swagger perfectly.
