Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop,” is remembered for flawless performances, groundbreaking music videos, and an unparalleled work ethic. Yet behind the perfectionist persona was a man with a surprisingly infectious sense of humor — one that could turn even a private studio session into a laughter-filled spectacle.

According to those close to him, Jackson once encountered a song so ridiculous that he played it fifteen times in a row in his home studio, unable to stop grinning and laughing. The track? None other than the 1976 novelty hit “Disco Duck” by Rick Dees, featuring cartoonish duck voices over a disco beat.

Friends present that evening recall the scene vividly. “He just kept saying, ‘I can’t stop laughing, I can’t stop smiling,’” one insider said. “Every time that silly duck voice came on, he’d double over. It was like he was rediscovering music for the first time.”

For someone who spent countless hours perfecting hits like “Billie Jean”, “Beat It”, and “Thriller”, the absurdity of “Disco Duck” was irresistibly freeing. Jackson reportedly told his friends that the song reminded him music isn’t always about perfection; sometimes, it’s about pure joy.

“He had this childlike side,” the insider continued. “Michael could be laser-focused and intensely serious in the studio, but then he’d find something playful, and it would light him up completely.”

The story offers a rare glimpse into the lighter, more human side of a man who was often viewed as an untouchable icon. While fans worldwide remember Jackson for his groundbreaking choreography and heartfelt ballads like “Heal the World”, moments like this show that his love for music was also deeply tied to fun and spontaneity.

One friend summed it up perfectly: “That night, Michael wasn’t the superstar — he was just a guy enjoying the funniest song he’d ever heard. And honestly, the joy in his laughter was better than any performance.”

Even decades later, the image of Jackson laughing uncontrollably to a novelty disco track serves as a reminder that the King of Pop never lost his childlike wonder, no matter how big the world stage became.
