From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Nasty" is the second single from Janet Jackson's third studio album, Control (1986). Released in 1986, the single peaked at three on Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, and remains one of Jackson's signature songs. The song was Jackson's autobiographical account of confronting abusive men who tried to force their hand on her. Paula Abdul choreographed the music video and appeared in it as well as one of Jackson's friends. The line "My first name ain't baby, it's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty" became a national catchphrase. The song won Favorite Soul/R&B Single at the American Music Awards. It ranked thirty on VH1: 100 Best Songs of the Past 25 Years and forty-five on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s.
