Though Michael Jackson is no longer with us, he left behind a treasure trove of demos that we'll probably be hearing for years to come. According to The Atlantic, an unreleased B-side demo from the King of Pop has surfaced online. "Don't Be Messin' 'Round" is a piano-heavy track from Jackson's Bad era.

The song features a carefully crafted samba, full of spoon clicks and whirling synth, though the track is devoid of the big time production value that the rest of Bad possesses -- and that's probably why it never made it onto the album. "Don't Be Messin' 'Round" was released in conjunction with the anniversary album Bad 25 due out later this year.
