Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael and Eddie had been long friends before the video. The friendship started in the 1980's, as Michael was a fan of Eddie's and vice versa. They met after Eddie mocked Michael's masculinity in his stand-up film Eddie Murphy: Delirious (1983). Much to Murphy's surprise, Michael found it hilarious and even provided material for a hypothetical fight between the two in Eddie's next stand-up film Eddie Murphy: Raw (1987) (namely, the strong profanity and Michael adjusting his hair mid-fight).

Featured review
"The Elephant is Dying"
It's easy to see why this music video was voted the 3rd worst music video of all time by MTV viewers.
However, the song itself isn't terrible but definitely mediocre. I cannot believe MJ agreed to take part in this, being that he was a well known perfectionist.
This is clearly an epic fail by Eddie Murphy. Ironically, by the late 90's, Eddie's film career became just as lame as his music career was.
I gave this sorry video a 2 rather than a 1 because most of it is unintentionally funny. You can't help but laugh at how bad this is, the song is forgettable, but the video can be viewed every so often especially with friends to poke fun together.
