Watch: Lost Michael Jackson Video

November 19, 2010 4:43 PM ET

 

A previously unreleased Michael Jackson video for his 2003 song "One More Chance" was posted on the singer's site Friday.

The R. Kelly-penned song was released as a single late that year and was featured on Jackson's Number Ones LP. The video is apparently unconnected to Michael, the album of previously unreleased material, out December 14.

Check Out All of Rolling Stone's coverage in "Michael Jackson Remembered."

The video was filmed primarily in Las Vegas in 2003 and wasn't completed, although Jackson approved the cut before it was shelved, according to his site. Presumably it was abandoned after the November 2003 raid on Jackson's Neverland Ranch by police investigating child-molestation accusations against the singer.

The clip features Jackson dancing and lip-synching in a theater, but, in a switch, he performs around (and on top of) tables while the audience stands on the stage. The song's mellow tempo keeps his dance moves calm until around the three-minute mark, when he cuts loose, bounding on tables, kicking over lamps and pulling some trademark spins and arms-outstretched gestures.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
