When thinking about the Michael Jackson “Beat It” video, the first thing that pops into most heads is the famous red jacket he wore.  In typical feelnumb.com fashion, we decided to do a story about the shirt MJ wore under the famous jacket instead of the famous jacket.

The shirt is actually sleeveless and was a put up for auction in 2009 by a boy that Michael gave the shirt to.   The turquoise shirt with a pink background has an image of cherubs surrounding a heart, with French text reading “n’y a plus que l’amour / sauf amour”.  Here’s a photo of the shirt on the auction block…

The translation according to a translation website says “There is more than the love / except love“.  If any readers out there speak and read French please confirm this translation.

Here’s a good photo of MJ flipping his jacket open in the video and showing the shirt…

The final winning bid for the famous t-shirt was $20,740.  I’d buy it if I had the cash.
