Human Nature was originally a demo by one of the members of toto

He forgot to erase it from the tape when he gave songs he had written for MJ to quincy. Quincy let the whole tape play, and when he heard it the rest was history

edit: more detailed explanation from wiki:

The first version of "Human Nature" was written and composed by Steve Porcaro of Toto. He wrote the song when his first-grade daughter came home crying after a boy pushed her off the slide. He blurted out three reasons for the incident to comfort her: the boy liked her, people can be strange, and it's "human nature". He recorded a rough demo of the song in their studio while the Toto song "Africa" was being mixed.

Fellow Toto band member David Paich had prepared some demo tracks for producer Quincy Jones to listen to as possible songs for Thriller and asked Porcaro to make Jones a tape with the songs. Running low on cassette tapes, Porcaro used the tape on which he had already recorded his "Human Nature" demo, putting Paich's songs on the reverse side and marking that on the label as the side that Jones should listen to. Jones listened to Paich's songs but did not think they were right for Thriller. However, he did not stop the tape when the songs finished playing, and the cassette deck playing the tape had "auto-reverse" capability, meaning that it started playing the other side as soon as the first side was finished. As Jones described it, "All of a sudden, at the end, there was all this silence, there was: 'why, why, dah dah da-dum dah dah, why, why'. Just a dummy lyric and a very skeletal thing—I get goosebumps talking about it. I said, 'This is where we wanna go, because it's got such a wonderful flavor'". However, Jones was dissatisfied with the original lyrics for the verses and asked John Bettis, who had written lyrics for hits by the Carpenters and the Pointer Sisters, among others, to write new lyrics for the song. He completed the song in two days. Jones asked if the song could be included on Jackson's album, to which Porcaro and Bettis agreed.

Rick James & Prince toured together which resulted in a beef. James accused Prince of stealing his mic moves etc, aswell as slandering the idea why anyone would buy Prince’s music, cos it talks about ‘oral s***and incest’

They were practically trying their best to outdo each other on the tour, resulting in ‘Battle of Funk’

Really? I always think of Bey as super confident, just introverted.

check out any public interview she has, she usually gets flustered. not a bad thing, quite endearing tbh. her performances don't represent that

to piggyback off of the Human Nature story above

Illmatic is a debut album from a 19yo rapper that sampled a song from the biggest album ever -- It Ain't Hard to Tell samples MJ's Human Nature. talking about industry plants
