I want you Back is by far my favorite Jackson related song, so if we can say a J5 song that's it for me.

For solo work I have to say Beat It, many times I'd fast forward through the song to get to that Van Halen solo. I love that solo, one of my all time favorite solos.

I also really love Don't Stop 'till You Get Enough.

For young Michael: "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". Yeah I know, it sounds silly, but it's such a feelgood version of that song. My, my, my my my my myyy what a... wonderful daaaaay! *chicka-bow badow*

For white Michael: "Unbreakable" featuring the Notorious Biggie Smalls (I believe posthumously but I could be wrong).

Oh come on! Only one!?? I let the other daily bands slide a little because I can hear one song in my mind that jumps out, but Michael Jackson is impossible for me to pick one song.

I'm going to have to reply thusly: Michael Jackson's music = yes.

Mine is "The Way You Make Me Feel." It's bouncy and funky, and it never fails to put a smile on my face.

My four-year-old stepdaughter is obsessed with Michael Jackson (we got her into Weird Al last year, then started showing her some of the songs Al based his parodies on), and her favorite is "Smooth Criminal."

I'd say Smooth Criminal, but Alien Ant Farm does it better.

I'll go with They Don't Care About Us.

"Working Day And Night." Without question.

Of course, Off The Wall is a tremendous album in general.
