George Michael's Accidental Hit Symphony

A serendipitous studio incident led to the creation of a bass sound that became the intro to a George Michael hit. The artist noted that a malfunctioning drum machine unexpectedly triggered sounds on his Juno and DX7 synthesizers, producing a distinctive, squelching, pulsing effect. Despite its success, reaching the Top 5 in the US and UK, Michael reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with this version, finding it too similar to Prince's music. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
