UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anka on Jackson -- They See it My Way
Posted Oct 12th 2009 6:18PM by TMZ Staff
Paul Anka tells TMZ the people handling Michael Jackson's estate are falling over each other .... apologizing for "ripping-off my song" and offering "anything you want" to make the mess go away.
And, John Branca just told TMZ, "We acknowledge that Michael and Paul wrote this song together."
As we first reported, Anka claims the new Jackson song, "This is It" is the Michael Jackson track Anka co-wrote with Jackson in 1983, which Jackson originally recorded under the title, "I Never Heard."
Anka tells TMZ he just got off the phone with John McClain, the co-Special Administrator for Jackson's estate. Anka says McClain apologized profusely, saying he knew "Michael couldn't have written this song alone. It's not his style."
Anka says McClain now acknowledges that "This is It" is really Paul's song, and said, "We'll give you whatever you want, whatever it take's we'll do the right thing."
Anka says he's not trying to hold the estate up but he wants them to be fair.
And how's this .... Anka says McClain asked him to do promotion for the song.
It's Hollywood, folks.

yes, and this may be the express reason why MJ withheld it and did not put it on any albums. whether or not he "stole" it (I don't think he did... for chrissakes, how do you steal your own song?), he chose not to release it because of all the hoopla he knew he'd have to go through with Anka.
now, Sony goes and fucks up. ROYALLY.
way to go guys. nice going. I can already see the writing on the wall.
