This comes after Hall said something similar to Mix way back in 2006. “No question about it,” he noted of I Can’t Go For That’s influence on Billie Jean. “Michael Jackson once said directly to me that he hoped I didn’t mind that he copped that groove. That’s OK; it’s something we all do. [Eddie] Van Halen told me that he copied the synth part from Kiss On My List and used it in Jump. I don’t have a problem with that at all.”


When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?
