"Smooth Criminal"

Maybe it's appropriate that a few years back a short-lived band called Alien Ant Farm reminded us how much fun this rather silly tune can be. By the time Bad came out in 1987, Jackson was already clearly in a subtle state of decline. Yes, more No. 1 singles for the singer came from that album than any other, but only the most die-hard fans would argue that Bad is a better record than either Thriller or Off the Wall. "Smooth Criminal" is a last hurrah, where Jackson said goodbye to the decade he ruled.
