Paul McCartney Drops New Music Video for Remixed 'Say Say Say'
— -- "Say, Say, Say" has been revamped!
Sir Paul McCartney not only released a remix of his 1983 hit with Michael Jackson "Say Say Say," but also a new music video to go with it.
The new song was created earlier this year after McCartney heard an instrumental version of the song created by DJ John "Jellybean" Benitez.
“Paul remembered that there were two unused lead vocal performances by Michael and himself," said McCartney's lead engineer Steve Orchard, according to the former Beatle's website. "We then rearranged the vocal sequence and inverted the original performance so that Michael opened the first verse instead of Paul, to give the song a different take to the original version. Then we added additional backing vocal parts from the original multi-track to further enhance the instrumental mix."
The new song will appear on the 2-CD special edition of McCartney's "Pipes of Peace." The video, which appears below, was directed by Ryan Heffington, the choreographer behind Sia's "Chandelier" video.
"Say Say Say" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks when it was released 32 years ago.
