Dirty Diana

He looked really good.

Dirty Diana.

No, no. No-

So she did...

He was not...

That was, song was not gonna be part of it.

She stopped and said, "I love Dirty Diana.

That's the song I want you to play." And I think the story is he s- he went and played it because of her.

Wait, go ahead.

Is it, is it just, is it just, "Dirty Diana?" Does anyone know that song?

Yeah, from Michael Jackson.

It's a Michael Jackson song.

Who doesn't know that song?

"Dirty Diana, no."

No.

Dirty Diana, motherfuckers.

I love Billie Jean.

I love Dirty Diana.

Oh my God.

best R&B song for Billie Jean producer of the year non-classical shared with Quincy Jones and then best recording for children because he recorded the ET extraterrestrial book or something I don't know so eight Grammys this is a big I don't know if anyone had gotten eight Grammys thus far and I don't know if anyone has since

Originally a Prophet 5 sound but when I found this classic D50 patch, Gritar, I had to try it.

This is Michael Jackson, Dirty Diana.

Shoop, shoop, never stop giving you love.

Staccato Heaven intruder effects demo.

This is off the Rhythm Nation 1812 album from 1989.

And one of the later songs released, this reminds me so much of Michael Jackson's number one song, Dirty Diana.

Just the rock composition and the throaty, raw vocals.

This isn't sweet Janet Jackson.

But I was looking at...

My favorite is Dirty Diana.

I mean, Dirty Diana, was that a live concert, man? The energy in that, you staged that?

We had, we built a set and we hired the extras to come in.

I forget how many.

But that was all a – the important thing was that Frank DiLeo and Quincy Jones wanted to – they were trying to change Michael's image, both with the way he made me feel and with Dirty Diana.

They were still having trouble with the little boy thing, the Jackson thing.

Even though he'd had that big album before that.

No, for sure.

But Delphonic, I mean, I like play Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson.

We just got to go, Shaggy wasn't me, right? Like, just, I mean, that can be clear as day.

Let's just say, you know, caught me in the shower, wasn't me.

Correct.

So that same friend, Samantha, we actually first we went to the Dirty Diana video and they were hiring extras and you had to be 18.

And I was only like 15 at the time.

So I used my sister's fake ID to go to the casting agency.

And we were supposed to be there at 7.30. We got there at 10.30.

They tried to send us away, and we begged, and they let us in.

Michael didn't actually come out to shoot the video, Dirty Diana, until 6 p.m., so it was a very long day of waiting around.

Okay.
