Paul McCartney Debuts ‘Say, Say, Say’ Remix Video Featuring New Michael Jackson Vocals: Watch
It’s hard to believe that this month marks the 32nd anniversary of the monster collaboration between Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, but McCartney is bringing “Say, Say, Say” back in a brand-new way.
In 1983, following their playful single “The Girl Is Mine” on Jackson’s Thriller, the duo returned with “Say, Say, Say,” which was featured on McCartney’s Pipes of Peace album.

The video, which was directed by Ryan Heffington (Sia, Lady Gaga), featured a cast of young dancers, most of whom look way too young to remember when McCartney and Jackson ruled the charts. However, with dance moves inspired by the King of Pop himself, it’s clear that the song and video were able to effortlessly bridge whatever generation gap was there before.
