The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

2005

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: March 21, 1997

Lyrics:

She got your number, ah

She know your game, ah

She put you under, ah

It's so insane, ah

Since you seduced her, ah

How does it feel? Ah

To know that woman, ah

Is out to kill

Every night stance is like taking a chance

It's not about love and romance

And now you're going to get it

Ah, every hot man is out taking a chance

It's not about love and romance

And now you do regret it

To escape the world, I've got to enjoy that simple dance

And it seemed that everything was on my side (blood on my side)

She seemed sincere like it was love and true romance

And now she's out to get me

But I just can't take it

Just can't break it

Susie got your number and Susie ain't your friend

Look who took you under with seven inches in

Blood is on the dance floor, blood is on the knife

Susie's got your number and Susie says it's right

She got your number, ah

How does it feel? Ah

To know this stranger, ah

Is about to kill, ah

She got yo' baby, ah

It happened fast, ah

If you could only, ah

Erase the past (ah)

Every night stance is like taking chances (ah)

It's not about love and romance

And now you're going to get it

Ah, every hot man is out taking a chance

It's not about love and romance

And now you do regret it

To escape the world, I got to enjoy this simple dance

And it seemed that everything was on my side (blood on my side)

It seemed sincere like it was love and true romance

And now she's out to get me

But I just can't take it

Just can't break it

Susie got your number and Susie ain't your friend

Look who took you under with seven inches in

Blood is on the dance floor, blood is on the knife

Susie got your number, you know Susie says it's right (woo-hoo)

Susie's got your number

Susie ain't your friend (ah, it's goin' down, baby)

Look who took you under, she put seven inches in

Blood is on the dance floor, blood is on the knife (it's goin' down, baby)

Susie's got your number (ah)

Susie says it's right

It was blood on the dance floor (blood on the dance floor)

It was blood on the dance floor (blood on the dance floor)

It was blood on the dance floor (blood on the dance floor)

It was blood on the dance floor (blood on the dance floor)

Songwriter:

And I just can't take it (the girl won't break it)

Hoo!

Teddy Riley / Michael Jackson

SongFacts:

Blood on the Dance Floor is a song by Michael Jackson and the first single from his album Blood on the Dance Floor - HIStory in the Mix. Jackson and Teddy Riley created the track for the late 1991 album Dangerous. However, this song did not make it onto said album. So it was not commercially released until March 1997, in a slightly different form. The song is about a dangerous woman named Susie. She seduces Jackson before attempting to stab him with a knife. The composition includes many genres, from rock to funk.

The song has been compared to the music of Dangerous by critics. The aggressive tone and Jackson's vocal style are striking, as well as the range of genres and the different ways of interpreting the text. Reviews at the time of publication were mixed. Nowadays, however, they are mostly positive.

There is a music video for Blood on the Dance Floor, which premiered on Top of the Pops. It focuses on "Susie" who attempts to seduce Jackson in a dance before opening a switchblade. The song was a number 1 hit in several countries including the UK.

Teddy Riley contributed the name to this song while Michael Jackson wrote and recorded the title for Dangerous. However, it didn't make it onto the album. Riley was reportedly furious that Jackson hadn't reached out to him to rework the song. Jackson then wanted to release the song on Blood on the Dance Floor - HIStory in the Mix, but instead of the original recordings, only a CD with the original track was found, which had poor audio quality for a release. So Buxer gradually took up the instrumentalization of the title again. In addition, Jackson had to re-record all of the vocals.

Among other things, a guitar and a piano can be heard, the latter playing in the pitches of F2-Eb5. Jackson's vocals span C4-C5 and parts of the song are played in A flat major. In addition to rock, pop, dance and funk, the title is also associated with New Jack Swing. Neil Strauss of The New York Times believes the dangerous woman described in the song is a metaphor for AIDS.

The video clip for Blood on the Dance Floor was directed by Jackson and Vincent Paterson. The video premiered at Top of the Pops in the UK on March 28, 1997, which was several weeks before its actual release. The clip begins with a thrown switchblade getting stuck in a painted image. This is a bloody love heart with the text "SUSIE + ME" written across it. Jackson and a group of dancers then enter the salsa club where he starts dancing with a woman. This woman is "Susie". After that, Jackson is seen seated while the dancer dances, standing on a table in front of him. During the video, Jackson shows an interest in the woman, played by Sybil Azur. The video ends in the same style as it begins, with the knife stuck in the frame. The music video won the Brazilian TVZ Video Award for Best International Music Video of the Year.

In an interview regarding the video, Azur said: "I got a call from Vincent Paterson to be in the Blood on the Dance Floor video. They wanted a Latin feeling, a kind of mambo. I showed up on location in a salsa dress, stockings, high heels and my hair was up with a flower in it. I was ready for the camera. I already showed up there with the whole outfit. It's not that producers can't see what they like, or don't see the potential in someone, but I help them see their vision."

A "Refugee Camp Mix" of Blood on the Dance Floor appeared on Jackson's video HIStory on Film, Volume II. The original song can be seen on DVD Number Ones, which also contains unreleased scenes. Paterson also recorded an unreleased, alternate version of the video. This version was filmed with an 8mm camera. Writer Dabvid Noh described it as fuzzy, overexposed and extremely sexy. According to Paterson, Michael Jackson was excited about the alternative video. However, Sony refused to release it.

The New York Times described the effort that went into promoting Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix in the US as subtle. The advertising was hardly noticed and also amazed many people from the industry. Jackson's record label Epic Records defended itself against these allegations, saying that the label was completely behind the album and that Jackson was one of the superstars and was treated as such. The label would simply have focused on the international market. The New York Times acknowledged that promotion for the album was stronger internationally as Jackson enjoyed greater traction and popularity there as well.

The Dallas Morning News described Blood on the Dance Floor as an "angry tale of a devious woman." Michael Saunders of the Boston Globe described it as a "mediocre dance-funk hybrid." Buffalo News' Anthony Violenti wrote that the song was "laced up with Teddy Riley's new jack swing sound and a pounding techno beat." The Cincinnati Post characterized the song as a "dull, first-release, dated dance track." The album, on the other hand, received positive reviews. Jim Farber of the New York Daily News described the vocals and music as "a strangled murmur with midget-like hiccups in place of a vocal" and noted that "pseudo-industrial music is about as enjoyable as a migraine."

Allmusic's William Ruhlman said Blood on the Dance Floor is an up-tempo Jackson song in the rising-hysterical tradition of Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal, as Jackson huffs and gasps through nonsense about a stab, accompanied by generic electronic dance tracks. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of Allmusic, had a negative reaction to the song. He described it as a "dreary re-imagining of Jam and Scream".

Critic Nelson George compared the song to Dangerous material, particularly the acclaimed tracks Jam and Dangerous. He described it as a "pounding song that just explodes out of the radio." J. Randy Taraborrelli, a longtime Jackson critic, provided a retrospective analysis of the album in the biography The Magic & the Madness. Taraborrelli said Blood on the Dance Floor was "one of the best Jackson songs ever and a song US fans didn't even know existed". In 2005, Allmusic's J.T. Griffith said that in hindsight, Blood on the Dance Floor was actually a good song. He explained that it was a "second-rate mix of Beat It and Thriller". However, Jackson's missteps are better than most other pop songs. The title shows all of Jackson's trademarks, such as the "oohing", the growl and the heavily funk-heavy bass line. It's hard to hear the track without moonwalking or dancing like a ghoul.

Where Are You, Christmas?

[marvelousgeeks]

There are few words to describe Hallmark’s Where Are You, Christmas? and it’s not because it’s so sensational I was rendered speechless. It was like going on a roller coaster that’s sometimes great and otherwise so wild you want to get off it immediately, but you’re stuck on top of a loop. It’s outright bonkers, but it somehow managed to make me cry multiple times. I’m a sap. We all know that by now, but this? I have absolutely no idea what this movie is.

If you’re coming to it for Lyndsy Fonseca and Michael Rady‘s chemistry, you’re in it for the right reasons. If you’re also coming here because you miss Parks and Recreation and Jim O’Heir is in it, you’re also in it for the right reasons. But if you’re coming in for a gloriously heart-changing film, then I’m not sure what to tell you. The premise is straightforward and doesn’t get too convoluted, which is always a plus, and the CGI is okay at best, but it’s the idea that’s so far-fetched it’s hard to believe in it.
