En esta ocasión lo recordaré con Smooth Criminal, una electrizante y buenísima canción (mi favorita) que obviamente viene de la mano de un genial video clip cargado de detalles, perfección y fenomenales muestras de lo que el baile puede ser capaz de producir. Esto condimentado con Moonwalker y pasitos de gorila incluído. Y si este video no es una obra maestra, entonces el mundo debe estar más loco de lo que pensaban que Michael estaba.
Acerca de las letras. Literalmente y basándose en el video clip ambientado en los años 30, quizás pueden hablar de un oscuro asesino que elimina brutalmente a una mujer dejando huellas y rastros por todos lados. Irónicamente, esto contradice a su apodo, que habla de alguien demasiado sutil para hacer las cosas.
Por cierto, no hay que olvidar la repetitiva frase: "Annie are you okay?". Se dice que antiguamente, muchos aprendices de resucitación cardio pulmonar (CPR) debían practicar con un muñeco llamado Annie y decirle estas palabras antes de proceder. Y si en una situación real la persona respondía, no era necesario aplicarle CPR. Cosas del destino, si nos ponemos a pensar en como falleció el Rey del Pop.
En mi opinión, esta canción podría hablar de la violencia que Michael y su familia vivió a causa del padre. Annie podría ser cualquiera, la madre, sus hermanos o simplemente él, y por eso mismo las preguntas reemplazando a Annie podrían ser: Estás bien Mami?, estás bien Michael?. Y claro está, ese suave criminal sería el padre quien impunemente vive hasta el día de hoy sin recibir castigo alguno por los maltratos dados especialmente a Jackson. Y este hombre ha llegado a ser tal como el asesino de Annie que se fugó y nadie encontró. Al final, Michael termina diciendo Dad Gone It (Doggone), que es otra forma de decir God damn it! (maldición). ¿Quizo decir eso, o realmente era un juego de palabras relacionado con su padre?
Letras / Lyrics
As He Came Into The Window
It Was The Sound Of A Crescendo
He Came Into Her Apartment
He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet
She Ran Underneath The Table
He Could See She Was Unable
So She Ran Into The Bedroom
She Was Struck Down, It Was Her Doom
Annie Are You OK
So, Annie Are You OK
Are You OK, Annie
Annie Are You OK
So, Annie Are You OK
Are You OK, Annie
Annie Are You OK
So, Annie Are You OK
Are You OK, Annie
Annie Are You OK
So, Annie Are You OK,
Are You OK, Annie
(Annie Are You OK)
(Will You Tell Us That You're OK)
(There's A Sign In The Window)
(That He Struck You-A Crescendo Annie)
(He Came Into Your Apartment)
(He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet)
(Then You Ran Into The Bedroom)

You've Been struck By-
A Smooth Criminal
