Some songs are timeless, and Paul McCartney is hoping people feel that way about a new remix and video of “Say Say Say,” his 1983 collaboration with Michael Jackson.

On Tuesday, McCartney posted the dance-filled black and white video on his Facebook page .

While the audio remix makes it difficult to distinguish McCartney’s vocals from Jackson's (and the vocal sequence is inverted from the original song, with Jackson opening this version), the video, directed and choreographed by Ryan Huffington, is a sweet romp.

The clip is an effort to remind fans that a reissue of McCartney’s “Pipes of Peace” album arrived last week (the “Say Say Say” remix appears on a bonus disc), as did a deluxe version of “Tug of War.”

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
