当年无敌专辑的落选歌曲：节奏之奴《Slave To The Rhythm》近日泄露了4分多的完整版，没有听到的朋友可以去下载区找，或者自行搜索歌名。照例，为了和大家讨论歌词的含义，和之前的午夜12点一样，我大致翻译了歌词大意，欢迎批评指正。

以下是我的个人理解：从歌词来看，我可以感觉到MJ对歌词的女主角有很深的同情。MJ的歌词一向都很写实，这个歌里他没有唱：“我为她感到难过”，或者“让我们为她祈祷吧”之类的，但可以感受他对她的深切同情。她的舞蹈贯穿她的整个生活，不管是高兴还是悲伤，可以说是为了生命而跳舞。从这一点来说，感觉又像是在暗示MJ本人，最后一段MJ的高亢嘶吼似乎也表示他当时的心情。

For a man who just don't appreciate,          为了一个她不欣赏的男人

Lust he could not stop, who will break his chain?  但他无法停止他的肉欲
