.. I wanted one of those zipper jackets he used to wear (I think he wore it in Beat It?).. big time. Bloody expensive though.

I had a cheap 'Beat It' jacket knock off. Purchased it at Merry-Go-Round for around $50 or something. It was made of some weird plastic material. Begged my parents to buy it for me for months. They finally agreed as long as I agreed to mow the lawn all summer in return.
I wore it once to school. Still can vividly hear the echo of my classmates laughter as I walked into school that day.
Threw it in the floor of my closet when I returned home. Still had to mow the lawn all summer.

MJ is the King of New Wave just Like Toyah is the Queen. I thought you knew that.

Judging by his response I think you're wasting your time using irony on him. [8D]

No, but amazingly enough my grandma made me a white glove with sequins on it back in the day. I think I even wore it a few times.
