I can hear on Janet's 'Runaway' what sounds like Michael. Now this is a bit hard to describe.

On Michael's 'Remember The Time' when Michael is adlibbing, he sings an adlib where he rolls his tongue. (3:29)
"What about, what about.....dillllllup dup dup, dup, dilllllup up a dup-a-dup."

This adlib isnt what I believe is used in 'Runaway' but it's how Michael rolled his tongue to make that sound. (dllllll dllllll) Now on 'Runaway' as part of the instrumentation, is what sounds to me like Michael doing that tongue roll. It starts at (0:24.5) and is on every 4 1/2 beats.
(dllllll dllllll)

'Runaway' was Janet's first single after working with Michael with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on 'Scream'.

It's offtopic, sorry, but I really had to laugh so hard when I read your explanation of the sound, dillupp dup dup. :rofl: I can't make that sound and I tried to explain it once to someone, and well it sounded a bit like how you wrote it down :p
 
yeah i hear it too.we are both crazy or the sound is really there hehe :D
 
I totally hear it! Never noticed it before, though. Wouldn't surprise me if Michael stepped into the studio just to add that little treasure to his sister's song! :)

It's more likely to be a vocal outtake from the HIStory sessions when MJ worked with Jam & Lewis.

HAHA :hysterical: that just gave me the laugh of the day..

I hear the dilup dup dup :)lmao:) sound but I dont think its Michael.
 
Michael is rolling his tongue which makes the 'lllllllllllllllllll' sounds. He's isnt make R sounds with his tongue. So it's 'dllll, dlllllllllll'

Sort of like how the Spanish use a lot of L sounds that roll off their tongue.

Oh I get it...but to people with OTHER native tongues (pun fully intended!!) besides English and Spanish it could really sound like DRRRRRRRRRRRRup. It really does...
