Michael Jackson “Liberian Girl”

Okay so I’ve got the Michael Jackson funeral on the TV in the mvyradio News Room, and I don’t necessarily want to pile on to the whole Michael Jackson gawk-fest, but this IS just weird/interesting enough to share.

Have you ever heard of the song “Liberian Girl”? Me neither. Seen the video? Me neither.

But check out the video, and tell me how it’s possible---with all of the celebrity fire-power on display here---that this never hit the American Pop Culture radar? (And, for sport, see how many Faces-Of-The-80s, you can name without assistance)

See it here.

“Liberian Girl” is from Michael Jackson’s album “Bad,” but it released as a single only in the UK, not the US. Still, it’s hard to believe that MTV and VH1 never glommed onto this video.
