This has been online for more than a week now. I knew it was there, I just didn't want to listen to it. Bad is one of my favourite albums and when it was announced that there would be a 25th anniversary edition featuring bonus content, I was one of the few who thought the idea of hearing I Just Can't Stop Loving You in French and Spanish was an exciting one.
Among the demos and rarities on the second disc, however, is a clubbed-up Afrojack remix of Bad featuring possibly the world's worst rapper, Pitbull. He lazily croaks his way through two verses, spouting such lines as "I'm so out of this planet I speak a third language called that moon talk, in four years catch me with a billion doing that moonwalk". Just after he says billion he nearly manages to soil the trademark "hee hee", which only just masks the distant sound of Jackson spinning in his grave.
• Bad 25 is due on 18 September.
