Beat It Lyrics To Be Auctioned


The handwritten lyrics to MICHAEL JACKSON's BEAT IT are to go under the hammer at a memorabilia auction in California next month (Jun10).
The late pop superstar gave his scribbled notes, signed by the King of Pop himself, to a producer pal.
Marc Kruskol, spokesman for auction house Profiles in History, says, "This piece has been in private hands since being written. It's an incredible piece from the legendary King of Pop and it's in fine condition."
The Beat It lyrics won't be the highlight of the memorabilia sale - the pink satin gown Marilyn Monroe wore in the Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend sequence in the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is sure to be the main lot.
Auction house bosses are calling the gown "the most important film dress to ever come to auction".
The summer sale will also feature The Wicked Witch of the West's hat, Johnny Depp's scissorhands from Edward Scissorhands and his Jack Sparrow jacket from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Other items include Darth Vader's light saber from Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Julie Andrews' carpet bag from Mary Poppins and Bruce Lee's 'Kato' signature from The Green Hornet.
The three-day auction will feature over 1,500 lots of Hollywood memorabilia.
Monroe's gown is expected to fetch between $150,000 (£93,750) and $250,000 (£156,250). Jackson's handwritten lyrics are expected to go under the hammer for between $4,000 (£2,500) and $6,000 (£3,750).

^^Yes it should be in a Michael Jackson Museum.
 
It should be somewhere where everyone can see it. I saw them at the exhibition and it was amazing to see. But enough of the selling his stuff.
 
It is disgusting to see
Should stay and be part of a collection of a museum
Who can forbid?
Family, Branca or fans with protests?
 
How can they sell this? If it's part of the exhibition?

I don't think these lyrics were at the estate's sponsored exhibition.

MJ was too generous...to people who did not deserve it.

I wish I could turn the hands of time...
 
I think there could've been more than the sheets we saw at the exhibition. But as mentioned before they should stop trying to make more money out of a deceased human being.

Are you sure it's the same? We might have a similar situation as the "Beat it" jacket.

Isn't the exhibition now in Japan? I don't see the estate pulling the lyrics out of the exhibition and selling them...through a little known auction house.
