/ 幕後故事 /
昆西瓊斯相信，旋轉木馬必須替換掉。他決定以"Human Nature"取代"旋轉木馬"，部分原因是"Human Nature"具有"美妙的味道"。
Jones believed that " Carousel " had to be taken out and replaced. that Jones decided to replace " Carousel " with "Human Nature", partly due to its "wonderful flavour(Human Nature)".
此曲直到2001年10月才被釋出，作為"Thriller"擴大版本的特別版。
It was unreleased until October 2001, when an edited version was added to the expanded, special edition of the Thriller album as one of the three bonus tracks.
/ 感想後記 /
MJ曾在他的自傳"Moonwalk"中提到，小時候他的父親經常帶著他與他的兄弟們，到公園玩旋轉木馬。
MJ was once in the autobiography " Moonwalk" Mention,when he very young, his father often took him and his brother,go to the park to play the merry-go-round.
我記得我四歲那年，有一個小的狂歡節，他把我放在小馬上，這樣小的一個動作，或許他五分鐘就忘記了，但因為那一刻，在我心裏，他有了一個特別的位置，這就是孩子，很小的事情對他們意味著很多，對我亦如此，那一刻意味著一切，我僅僅經歷過一次，但那感覺真好，對他也是對世界的感覺！
I remember once when I was about four years old, there was a little carnival and he picked me up and put me on a pony. It was a tiny gesture, probably something he forgot five minutes later. But because of that moment I have this special place in my heart for him. Because that's how kids are, the little things mean so much to them and for me, that one moment meant everything. I only experienced it that one time, but it made me feel really good, about him and the world.
Carousel 旋轉木馬
she's from a world
of popcorn and candy
pony rides for a dime(Only your eyes for a dime)
little children laughing
i'm from a world
of disapointments and confusions
but i want her to be mine她來自一個 爆米花與糖果的世界 騎著一角硬幣的小馬 (您的眼裡祇為了一角硬幣)小孩們的笑聲 我來自一個 滅絕與混亂的世界 但我要她成為我的
i started talking
she kept on walking
she disappeared into the crowd
i lost my heart
on the carousel
to a circus girl
who left my heart in pieces
lost my heart
on the carousel
to a circus girl
who ran away
two different people
in love for an instant我開始說話 她繼續走著 她消失在人群裡 我遺失了我的心 在旋轉木馬
的一位馬戲團女孩 令我心碎
遺失了我的心 在旋轉木馬 的一位馬戲團女孩 誰逃走了 兩個不同的人 一見鍾情
to see that the circus came today
sometimes i can hear her crying here
and i can hear her calling me
i lost my heart
on the carousel
to a circus girl
who left my heart in pieces
lost my heart
on the carousel
to a circus girl
who ran away 今天看見馬戲團來臨
有時我聽得到她正在這裡哭泣 我聽得到她正在呼喊我
我遺失了我的心
在旋轉木馬
的一位馬戲團女孩 令我心碎 遺失了我的心 在旋轉木馬 的一位馬戲團女孩 誰逃走了
