When a Beatle and the future King of Pop collaborate, you can expect the results will be astronomical. In 1981, Paul McCartney was recording his second solo album, Tug of War, while Michael Jackson stayed with him. The pair recorded Say Say Say during this time, but it would go on to appear on Paul's third album, Pipes of Peace. This was not be the end of their collaborations as they would duet again on The Girl Is Mine, the lead single off Michael's 1982 Thriller album. It would be another year before Say Say Say would be released, though the wait was worth it. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks.
For the music video, Paul and Michael play con artists peddling a miracle strength potion. They then move on to play a vaudeville act at a bar. When the police catch up to them, Paul sets a fire and they escape off into the sunset. Paul's then-wife Linda and Michael's sister La Toya also appear in the video, which was filmed in Los Alamos. Michael was quite fond of the area and would later purchase property that would become Neverland Ranch.
