“Annie’s” a “Smooth Criminal!”

Marie Manning

Did you know that the line, “Annie are you OK?” in Michael Jackson’s hit, “Smooth Criminal” was inspired by the standard name given to CPR demonstration manikins?

Jackson had been CPR trained and picked up “Annie are you OK?” after learning to first check the victim for responsiveness.

Check out the clip below from the ABC special, “BAD25,” celebrating the 25th anniversary edition reissue of Jackson’s seventh studio album, “Bad:” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4mUH_TwsEE&feature=plcp.“Annie’s” a “Smooth Criminal!”

  1. Very cool. And I love that he is wearing a white suit in the video… I see a campaign connection! Would be neat to have one of the rappers interviewed for ABC do an appearance for us related to heart health/stroke/ and cpr.
