Nuevo-able tunes

I'm DJing at a milonga tomorrow afternoon and I'm considering playing a Michael Jackson tanda (or maybe just a song). Has anyone heard any of his songs at a milonga that actually worked?

"Whatever happens" is fine - quite nice, actually, as my sig indicates.

Some of the faster ones might be Milonga-able I guess - difficult to tell without trying...
 
Thanks to those who responded to my request. I closed with "I'll be there", (the Jackson 5 version) and it was very well received. I only had one person ask me why I was playing this, and when I explained who it was, he smiled.
:cheers:

Thinking about it, "Ben" and "Earth Song" should also be tango-able.

Most of the faster ones are completely unsuitable - even I wouldn't attempt to tango to "beat it", I have some standards :) - but you never know, there may be a milonga-able one somewhere amongst them.

Wouldn't Billie Jean work (if you could resist the Temptation to moon walk!)

Now moon walking tango there's a thought.
 
BTangoman: " Oh there's the Columbian bird with the hips;
she did a tango / rock number/ Ojos something or other"

Yes, that was Shakira with her retro-tango piece "OBJECTION" vy danceable.

My old time favorites: Hotel California by the Eagles &
The House of the Rising Sun by the Animals?
