Michael Jackson Roll Cuff T-shirt
The rumours, scandal and cosmetic surgery of recent years have seen Michael Jackson fall from favour, but let’s gloss over that for the moment and celebrate his former glory with this cute Michael Jackson Roll Cuff T-shirt.
The white t-shirt features a sweet cartoon rendering of the superstar in what looks like his Thriller era (note the sparkly gloves). Admittedly, it could be argued that he was already past his best at this time too, but if you liked his 80s work, then this may be the t-shirt for you.
It costs £28 and is available to buy from Urban Outfitters.
For more of the same with a contemporary twist, check out our newly-launched Switched On Set website.

Fall Out Boy do Michael Jackson
Wednesday, May 28 2008, 11:17 BST
By Nick Levine, Music Editor
Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' is having a ***** of a year. Getting the remix treatment for the Thriller 25 project, this pop chestnut was dealt not one but two cruel indignities: first, will.i.am got his filthy little knob-twiddling mitts on it; second, Fergie was permitted to shriek over the top.
Now Fall Out Boy have had a stab at 'Beat It', drafting in soft rocker John Mayer - that's right, the one who's getting jiggy with Jennifer Aniston - to play the Eddie Van Halen guitar solo. An inspired choice of cover version it isn't. Pop/punk band takes on guitar-based Michael Jackson song - didn't Alien Ant Farm do this seven years ago?
Despite suffering from two fairly crippling design faults - utter pointlessness and generally being a bit of a mess - Fall Out Boy's 'Beat It' recently made the top 20 in the States. There are no plans to release it over here, but it's steadily climbing the UK Top 40 anyway thanks to strong download sales. You have been warned.
But hang on! All is not lost. The video actually forms the basis of a fun Jackson-themed drinking game. Every time a ***** reference pops up on screen - moon-walking, a white glove, 'Thriller' dance moves etc. - you take a swig from your drink. Honestly, you don't need to be especially observant or a hardcore MJ fan to do well at this one.
If you're in the office at the moment but still want to join in the fun, maybe you could substitute the booze for some chocolate or a nice packet of dried cranberries? Just press play below to get started.
What do you think of Fall Out Boy's version of 'Beat It'? Are we being too critical?
