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.”
