BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
“Nasty” is a song by American singer Janet Jackson from her third studio album, Control (1986). It was released on April 15, 1986, by A&M Records as the album’s second single. It is a funk number built with samples and a quirky timpani melody. The first and last 30 seconds incorporate the emphases from “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine” but in a different key. The single peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and remains one of Jackson’s signature songs. The line “My first name ain’t baby, it’s Janet – Miss Jackson if you’re nasty” has been used in pop culture in various forms.
