Annie are you ok.


​

"Smooth Criminal" is a song written by Jackson and co-produced with Quincy Jones. Two early versions of the song were written in 1985 and the original demo was recorded in 1986. The first song was called "Chicago 1945" which evolved into "Al Capone" (which was later released on the 25th anniversary edition of the album). This version did not make the album and was re-worked and re-written as "Smooth Criminal". This song is played in the key of A minor.[4]Jackson's vocal spans from G3 to E5. It has a moderate tempo of 118 beats per minute.

The refrain of the song contains the phrase "Annie, are you OK?" This is a phrase used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training courses, and Michael Jackson is known to have taken a CPR course. Resusci Anne, otherwise known as "Annie" in English-speaking countries, is the name of a mannequin commonly used in CPR training. As part of the course, trainees are taught to say "Annie, are you OK?" to the dummy in order to check that the patient is conscious and responsive.
 
[Verse 1]
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

[Break]
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you — a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom

[Break]

You've been hit by, you've been hit by a smooth criminal

[Verse 2]
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidations

[Break]

[Chorus]

Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now

Annie are you okay, I don't know
Will you tell us that you're okay, I don't know
There's a sign in the window, I don't know
That he struck you, a crescendo Annie, I don't know
He came into your apartment, I don't know
Left bloodstains on the carpet, I don't know why baby
Then you ran into the bedroom, I don't know
You were struck down, it was your doom Annie
Annie are you okay, daggonit baby
Will you tell us that you're okay, daggonit baby
There's a sign in the window, daggonit baby
That he struck You, a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment, daggonit
Left bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, daggonit, it was your doom Annie

  • Michael Jackson originally recorded this on his 1987 album Bad. Many of Alien Ant Farm's fans are too young to know about Jackson's version.
  • This made Alien Ant Farm famous, but it was not their first single. They released "Movies" first, but Los Angeles radio station KROQ started playing this instead, which led to a great deal of exposure and prompted them to release it as a single. "Movies" was re-released later to take advantage of their new fame.
  • This was included on their first album, which was released on an independent label. When they signed with a big record company, they included it on their first major-label release, ANThology.
  • Alien Ant Farm have played a lot of quirky covers over the years. When they started, they tried to play a different cover at every show. Some of the bands they covered include Weezer, Bad Brains, The Police, and Sade.
  • The video pokes fun at Michael Jackson, but they made sure to get his permission and keep it lighthearted. Some of the Michael Jackson clichés they make fun of are Bubbles the chimp and the Moonwalk.
  • When Jackson saw the video, he asked that a scene with a boy in a surgical mask be removed, because it made fun of his medical condition. They took it out, but Jackson decided he liked it the way it was. In the end, there were 2 videos, one with the mask, one without.
  • This was nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Song.
