The movie is in my top 10 musicals of all time list.
Fun film, especially that last segment. As well as those videos, he also referenced it in Billie Jean, used some dialogue from it in the lyrics to Dangerous, and I wanna say there's a scene in a subway station that influenced the Bad music video, but that might be just coincidence.
