As reporting restrictions have been lifted on the trial of Jacko’s Quacko, Gfb can bring to your attention the role of bees in the pop legend’s career.
As a keen apiarist, Michael endured regular stings to get his hands on the honey. In 1977 such was the plethora of stings suffered, that his signature cry of “Ow!” was born and his sinewy flapping to swat the enraged insects away morphed into those nifty dance routines.
The squeals were used extensively by Quincy Jones during the production of Off The Wall and became synonymous with Michael for the rest of his career.
Below is the building where Off The Wall was recorded.

Another Form of Apiary

I have nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award 🙂
Thanks very much – even though I don’t know what the award is! Very flattered.
This is some funny shit! You got the drapes color right but how about the carpet?
I’m guessing here but a paisley patterned Axminster would fit the bill. Home furnishings have never been one of my strong points though. What do you think?
What can I say? Laughing my ass off.
Thanks!
I read the Michael Jackson bio the other day and it made me think wtf were the parents of those young kids thinking???
I agree – strange old world.
