I remember exactly where I was when that video debuted. I worked at a bar called the Garden and Gun Club in South Carolina then. Huge place in an old warehouse.
Anyhow, our VJ had the MTV world premier set up to show on the big screen panels. A whole dance floor of people came to a dead halt and watched MJ.
And no matter what, I still love to watch him dance.

I know..I just woke up this morning and heard on the radio that it was 25 years ago and instantly I was filled with flashes. I remember exactly where I was when I heard it for the first time, going to buy it, taking it to a friend's to listen to it for the first time, killing my sister for nearly scratching it for dancing too much in the room with the turntable so the needle moved and then waiting for the video (it was on the cover of the tv guide...even remember that).
I even remember having a debate at the lunch table that week (I was in 1st grade) with another kid about if he was black or white..lol. Which considering back then he was as black as he ever got is funny.
