Michael Jackson & Freddie Mercury - State of Shock

This song almost topped the Billboard Hot 100 when it was released in 1984, featuring the vocal talents of Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.  However, the original recording of this song dates back to 1983, with Jackson and Freddie Mercury.

Mercury was visiting Jackson for the first time, at Jackson’s massive house in Encino.  For his part, Freddie spent his day being alternately impressed with and bemused by his gracious host.  On a tour of the house, Freddie and his personal assistant were treated with such sights as MJ’s bedroom (his bed, a mere mattress on the floor— “I prefer to be closer to the earth,” an actual quote), the in-home cinema that doubled as a functioning church on Sundays, and the mud-filled llama pen.

While Mercury was also inspired by MJ’s work ethic in the studio, he later remarked, “All that money and no taste, dear.  What a waste.”

Holy shit! The two of them together!!! I don’t think anything I see on Tumblr today can top this…
