If you thought "Beat It" was a little off the hook with Eddie Van Helen, You ain't seen nothin' yet! Steve Stevens now is Heavy Metaling with The King of Pop!
Jimmy Hendricks is one of Michael's idol. Had he not revert to any drugs, I firmly believe Jimmy would've been up there collaborating with Michael Jackson.
Now just what did Michael mean by saying those words "dirty Diana"? Many speculated his long-time idol Diana Ross who got a little promiscuous in the 80's. However, Jackson revealed no connection whatsoever to his life-long friend. But later, Michael would reveal it to be about a groupie much like "Billie Jean".
During one of his concerts at Wembley Stadium. Princess Diana thought she'd come for a visit. Out of utter respect, Michael left the song out. But ironically, this was her absolute favorite! They became the best of friends from thereafter. As a matter of fact, the song Privacy was inspired by her tragic death in 1997.

Dirty Diana-The Short Film
Michael has a crush on a girl. But finds out the hard way, she's a groupie. So he composes a tune. All about Diana's dirty tricks. Going from man to man and trapping them into her web of lies.Later, he performed this number to warn his fans about the trappings of an adulterous woman. Not realizing she was back-stage smooching with another guy-right behind his back.
With the cheers of the crowd still within ear drop. He opens the back-seat door and can smell it. She was fooling around with another guy. Right in his own limo! Michael's glad that whore is out of his life!
Lyrics
You'll never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was to blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me
She's saying that's ok
Hey baby do what you please
I have the stuff the you want
I am the thing that you need
She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back
She trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Let me be!
Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no...
She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the
curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that's so carefree
She's says that's ok
Hey baby do what you want
I'll be your night lovin' thing
I'll be the freak you can taunt
And I don't care what you say
I want to go too far
I'll be your everything
If you make me a star
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana...
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana...
Diana!
Diana!
Dirty Diana!
It's Dia...aa...aa...ana!
She said I have to go home
'Cause I'm real tired you see
But I hate sleppin' alone
Why don't you come with me
I said my baby's at home
She's probably worried tonight
I didn't call on the phone to
Say that I'm alright
Diana walked up to me,
She said I'm all yours tonight
At that I ran to the phone
Sayin' baby I'm alright
I said but unlock the door.
Because I forgot the key.
She said he's not coming back
Because he's slepping with me
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Next: Smooth Criminal!
