Scream/ Childhood

This is another powerful pairing of tunes from Jackson's later career. On the A side, he and sister Janet pour forth a billion decibels of anger and frustration, distorted into a seething funk/dance track. By contrast, the B side is an extremely moving self-portrait of a man who feels judged by people who never had to grow up without a real childhood. This guy was a great songwriter as well as dancer. Listen to these lines:\r\n

People say
I'm not OK
Cause I love such elementary things.
It's been my fate
To compensate
For a childhood I've never known.

\r\nThe song was featured in the movie Free Willy 2 - The Adventure Home.
