D.S. (Dom Sheldon)

History Album | Videos from History
--------------------------------------------------------
"D.S." is a song by Michael Jackson from his 1995 HIStory double album. It is track six on the second disc, one of the three songs from that disc whose lyrics are printed in the lyric booklet, and is four minutes and forty-nine seconds in length.

Many believe that this song refers to Thomas W. Sneddon Jr. as when sung, "Dom Sheldon" sounds very close to "Tom Sneddon". In addition, the lyrics reference a "B.S.T.A.", which sounds similar to "S.B.D.A." or "Santa Barbara District Attorney".

In 1993 the father of a boy named Jordan Chandler accused Michael Jackson of child molestation. The media reported on this news constantly and damaged Michael Jackson's career. Thomas Sneddon is the district attorney of Santa Barbara County, California who prosecuted Michael Jackson twice, in 1993 and in 2005. The second set of charges against Jackson resulted in a long trial, which ultimately ended in Jackson being acquitted.

Song Style

The song has a distinct rock feel to it, with a guitar solo performed by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who had previously worked with Jackson on his Dangerous album. Before the gutair solo in the song, Jackson screams the name "Slash!"- leading to Slash's part in the song.

Jackson has always included a rock track on each album since the success of "Beat It" from Thriller. Other 'rock' songs of his include; "Beat It", "Dirty Diana", "Give in to Me", "Morphine" and "Privacy".

Lyrics

They wanna get my ass
Dead or alive
You know he really tried to take me
Down by surprise
I bet he missioned with the CIA
He don't do half what he say

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

He out shock in every single way
He'll stop at nothing just to get his political say
He think he hot cause he's BSTA
I bet he never had a social life anyway

You think he brother with the KKK?
I bet his mother never taught him
Right anyway
He want your vote just to remain ta.
He don't do half what he say

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Does he send letters to the FBI?
Did he say to either do it or die?

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
