In the dancer audition scene of TII, Kenny Ortega refers to MJ as "the man."

Kenny: "The dancers in a Michael Jackson show are an extension of the man."

MJ and Paul McCartney wrote a song called "The Man." This song has a line that we all find familiar: I'm alive and I'm here forever.

LYRICS FOR "THE MAN"

There's a man
Who plays the game of life so well
Ooh, there's such a man
His thoughts you can never tell

Ooh and it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks then he rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever
, this is the man
And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, and kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever, this is the man

There's a man
Everybody thought they knew (one of the taglines for TII: Discover the man you thought you knew.)
Ooh, there's such a man
He's not like me and you

Ooh and it's just the way she thought it would be
As he says, something has happened to me
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever, this is the man

And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs as he rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever, this is the man

Did you know this man can do anything?
Ooh, there's such a man
I wish that we could bring

Ooh and it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever, this is the man

And it's just the way he thought it would be
'Cause the day has come for him to be free
Then he laughs, he kicks and rolls up his sleeves
I'm alive and I'm here forever, this is the man

This is the man, ooh yeah
This is the man
This is the man
