If you did not know, Michael Jackson died. I won't bother with a drawn out memory laden trip down Jackson Lane. What I will say is I always thought that the song Black Velvet from Alannah Miles and Dirty Diana were very similar. Not literally similar in that they are two very distinct songs but rather that they are both similar in my mind. If I were to hear Dirty Diana I get some sort of subconscious reminder of the other song. I'm completely lame for thinking this and even more lame for thinking (just a tad bit) that after she sings the lyrics "Slow Southern Style" they have that stupid guitar twang/riff thing going on and I start telling myself this song is decent.
True Story.
I think the only other reason I link these is because in the video Dirty Diana you have Michael Jackson performing in a very stylized concert that is actually pretty rocking. In fact I'd say this is my 2nd favorite Michael Jackson song...not to mention its about groupies. In the video for Black Velvet you have weird back country visuals intermixed with very similar stylized concert footage.
