“Price of Fame”, uma das demos de BAD reveladas na edição comemorativa de 25 anos do álbum, apareceu em versão alternativa como jingle de um comercial da Pepsi de 1987.

A música permaneceu um mistério até 2012, pois não se sabia se Michael havia gravado de fato em estúdio uma “versão oficial” completa. Hoje ela é uma das favoritas dos fãs e aparece inclusive na trilha sonora do “MJ MUSICAL”, o espetáculo da Broadway em homenagem a Michael Jackson.

Confira a letra:

[Verse 1]
You got a dream, you gotta follow it now
Wherever it may go

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the Pepsi generation
Gonna change the world today
We’re reaching to touch the sky (Oh no)
So put a Pepsi in your hand, you gotta understand
What we gotta try, to lift our spirits so high

[Chorus]
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to this name, boy

[Insturmental Break]
(Hee-hee)
(Hee-hee)
(Aaow!)

[Verse 2]
You got a dream, you gotta follow it now
Wherever it may go
You gotta find the things you’re looking for somehow
Do what you feel you know

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the Pepsi generation
Gonna change the world today
We’re reaching to touch the sky (Oh no)
So put a Pepsi in your hand, you gotta understand
What we gotta try, to lift our spirits so high

[Chorus]
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to this name, boy

[Insturmental Break]
(Hee-hee)
(Hee-hee)
(Aaow!)

[Chorus]
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
It’s the price of fame, and that’s the Pepsi way
You’re living up to the name
