The Single: Beat It
The Artist: Fall Out Boy (feat. John Mayer)

In a year when Thriller had it's 25th anniversary, the music industry marked the occasion with a special re-release of one of the best-selling albums of all time. On the second disc, there were Thriller songs re-worked by Akon, will.i.am, Kanye West, and Fergie... and they all sucked. Every fucking one of them.

It took the four whitest dudes in America (a.k.a. Fall Out Boy), and John Mayer (whom I have referred to as a "pale douche of Renaissance") to give on of Michael's best some teeth. Like the band or not, this is a fact... Patrick Stump can sing. And he uses his voice to attack this song like it actually means something. Why this song wasn't on the bonus disc, I have no idea.
