Smooth Criminal (2012 Remaster)
Michael Jackson · Bad (Remastered)
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came in her apartment
He left the blood stains 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 ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok, are you ok, Annie?
(Annie are you ok?)
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
(There's a sign in the window)
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
(He came into your apartment)
(He left the blood stains on the carpet)
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom)
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie are you ok?
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
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats - intimidations
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok, are you ok, Annie?
(Annie are you ok?)
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
(There's a sign in the window)
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
(He came into your apartment)
(He left the blood stains on the carpet)
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom)
(Annie are you ok?)
(So, Annie are you ok?)
(Are you ok Annie?)
(You've been hit by)
(You've been struck by - a smooth criminal)
Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now!
Aaow!
(Annie are you ok?)
I don't know!
(Will you tell us, that you're ok?)
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 blood stains 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 ok?)
Dad gone it - baby!
(Will you tell us, that you're ok?)
Dad gone it - baby!
(There's a sign in the window)
Dad gone it - baby!
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
Hoo! Hoo!
(He came into your apartment)
Dad gone it!
(Left blood stains on the carpet)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
Dad gone it!
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom - Annie!)
Aaow!!!
About Smooth Criminal
"Smooth Criminal" presents Michael Jackson through a specific song idea rather than a full career summary. The safest way to approach the recording is to focus on what the title and credited performance suggest: a compact musical statement shaped by voice, groove, arrangement, and tone. If the listed version includes extra mix or soundtrack wording, the core song still depends on how its hook and mood carry across that context. For listeners exploring Michael Jackson, "Smooth Criminal" can be understood as a standalone track that adds another color to the artist's recorded work without needing exaggerated claims. The version wording should be preserved because mixes, edits, remasters, and live takes can change pacing, texture, or emphasis while keeping the same underlying song identity.
