"Say Say Say" was a 1983 hit single for Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, produced by George Martin. It was taken from McCartney's album Pipes of Peace, and was the second successful duet by McCartney and Jackson, the first being "The Girl Is Mine".
The video featured Jackson's sister La Toya and was filmed at the Union Hotel and Victorian Mansion in Los Alamos, California, built in 1880.
The singles' six-week stay at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, in late-1983 into early-1984, was preceded by "All Night Long (All Night)" by Lionel Richie and followed by "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes.
A dance track by Hi Tack called "Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U)" was released in 2006, which samples the original version.
