A fresh reconstruction of my favorite Michael Jackson song using the original multitrack to the video mix used in Moonwalker (1989).
Let me know in the comments if you can spot the largest difference between the video mix and single mix. I didn't even notice it until I really dug in! I also kept this at the original speed versus using the Varispeed technique to make it faster and raise the pitch like the album & single mixes.

Lyrics:
As he came into the window
Was a 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 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?
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
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
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?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by
A smooth criminal
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
Every time I start to find him
He's leaving no left behind him
And they have no way of knowing
Of the suspect or what to expect
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidation
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?
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
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've struck by
A smooth criminal
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 at 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 the 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 (dag gone it)
Annie are you okay?
(Dag gone it, baby)
Will you tell us that you're okay?
(Dag gone it, baby)
There's a sign at the window
(Dag gone it, baby)
That he struck you, a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
(Dag gone it)
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
(Dag gone it)
It was your doom, Annie
