Michael Jackson "Human Nature"

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

A member of the band Toto prepared a demo tape of songs intended for inclusion on Michael Jackson's Thriller album. The tape was delivered to record producer Quincy Jones, but wasn't fully erased before Jones listened to it. One side of the cassette were songs intended for Jones' ears. On the un-erased other side were rough cuts of songs that the group Toto ultimately hoped to record. When Jones heard one of Toto's rough demo songs called "Human Nature", he immediately wanted the song. After some re-writing of the lyrics, Jones bumped Michael's song "Carousel" from Thriller and added "Human Nature".
