"
Why do I grab my crotch… You know, I think it happens subliminally. When I dance, if you’re a dancer, you know, you’re just interpreting the sounds and the accompaniment of the music. If there’s a driving bass, you become the bass. If there’s a cello or if there’s a string, you become that. So you become the emotion of what that sound is, okay? So if I’m doing a move and I go bam and I grab myself, it’s the music that compels me to do it. It’s not saying that I’m dying to grab down there and it’s not in a great place, you don’t think about it, it just happens. Sometimes, I’ll look back at the footage and I’ll go… and I go, “Did I do that?”
So I’m a slave to the rhythm.
— Michael Jackson (1993)
