“Beat It” is a hit single from Michael Jackson’s album Thriller, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music).
“Beat It” won Jackson two Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. It was also nominated for Song of the Year along with Jackson’s “Billie Jean”.
“Beat It” is also notable for its guitar solo, a guest performance by Eddie Van Halen. In the 30th anniversary show live on television, Slash, the former lead guitarist from Guns N’ Roses, played with Michael during the performance of the song. In a reader’s poll made by Guitar World magazine the solo was voted as the 67th greatest guitar solo of all time. The lyrics are about life on the streets and gang fighting and killings.
In 2008, the song was re-recorded by Jackson and R&B artist Fergie for Thriller 25, a special edition of the original album, commemorating the 25th anniversary of its release. American rock band Fall Out Boy also released a cover of the song which featured John Mayer playing the guitar solo.
Music video and choreography
The video for “Beat It” follows an uncomplicated narrative: it opens in a diner/pool hall, where two men walk outside (the music begins when the doors slam shut behind them) and then the members of two warring gangs gather and march to a “rumble” inspired by the film West Side Story, at a warehouse. Throughout, Jackson appears as a lone figure, dancing throughout the diner, eventually arriving at the warehouse just as the gang leaders (one of whom is portrayed in a white outfit and sunglasses by choreographer Peters) are engaged in a knife fight. Viewers watching closely can see elements of another early-to-mid 1970s phenomenon being performed by some of the cast – the physically complicated breakdancing technique. “Beat It” included real gang members from LA mixed in with experienced dancers. In the diner, the girl getting kissed has fake bullet holes complete with blood stains riddling her t-shirt, which adds to the violent atmosphere.

They told him don’t you ever come around here
Don’t wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire’s in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
They’re out to get you, better leave while you can
Don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you’re really not scared
You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or who’s right

Cool! really cool! Not only that a post you read on one breath – so grasps and it is interesting, but also besides also in a head something remains. Usually posts you forget, as soon as you leave an Internet, and here is over what to think. I continue to reflect over this information.
