If you had to associate Michael Jackson
00:00:03
with a Sega Genesis game, most people would choose this: [Moonwalker video shown]
00:00:16
However, back in September 2005
00:00:19
HXC interviewed Roger Hector,
00:00:21
ex-director of SEGA Technical Institute.
00:00:24
He found out that Michael Jackson was originally recruited by SEGA to compose the music for Sonic 3.
00:00:33
But, he also revealed that after various scandels broke out, Michael Jackson's music was erased.
00:00:44
Was Michael Jackson's music simply replaced?
00:00:47
I don't think it was,
00:00:48
and I'll show you why.
00:01:06
This similarity between "Carnival Night Zone" and the Michael Jackson Song "Jam" was noticed by Ben2K9 (forum user),
00:01:13
before any link between Sonic 3 and MJ was discovered;
00:01:16
He actually believed it to be a tribute from Yuji Naka to Michael.
00:01:22
However, now that we know MJ was involved, maybe this could be a left-over track from MJ?
00:01:25
It's possible, but we have found another song since then, that resembles a Sonic 3 song exactly.
00:01:42
This piece of music played at the end of Sonic 3 bears a strong resemblance to the Michael Jackson Song
00:01:47
"Stranger in Moscow"
00:01:49
this was noticed by Shade (forum user) and is one of the most solid pieces of evidence
00:01:53
that Michael Jackson worked on Sonic 3's music.
00:03:14
The chord pattern and structure is identical, even in the chorus, two of the chords played are the same as the Sonic 3 ones.
00:03:19
This revelation led many to beleive that the Sonic 3 credits was indeed composed by Michael Jackson.
00:03:30
But our story doesn't end there
00:03:32
In the Sonic & Knuckles Collection (PC Game) some of the music has been replaced.
00:03:40
All these tracks in the original Sonic 3 have one thing in common:
00:03:44
They all use the various "Hey" and "Go" type vocal sounds
00:03:48
which is a trademark of Michael Jackson.
00:03:50
So some people find it safe to assume that all the tracks that feature these sounds were written by MJ and replaced due to legal reasons.
00:04:00
People then tried to find other similarities between other MJ songs and these replaced tracks.
00:04:05
Dioxaz (forum user) put forward that the song
00:04:08
sounds like "Ice Cap Zone".
00:04:47
...Now lets speed it up...
00:05:16
Some people believe that this isn't conclusive,
00:05:18
however we can see and hear the chord progressions are almost identical.
00:05:22
these kinds of chord progressions pop up in MJ's music everywhere.
00:05:26
For example let's take Smooth Criminal:
00:06:00
And that takes us to the end of the programme
00:06:02
that covers just about everything known
00:06:05
about Michael Jackson's involvement in Sonic 3's music.
