#MusicMonday: Michael Jackson Feel Good Songs

Wanna Be Starting Something
In 1982, it was still common for the album to begin with the first single. Being that albums were primarily listened to on vinyl, the single was why you bought the album and then listened to the rest. “Wanna Be Starting Something” bucked that trend because it was the best introductory song. There’s a fairly long instrumental beginning that builds as the listener waited for the Michael to finally sing something. Known for having soft-spoken voice, Jackson starts an album that aptly lived up to its name by aggressively stating “So you wanna be starting something?”
