"Speed Demon" is a song on Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad. Jackson's film Moonwalker featured a video for "Speed Demon" in which Jackson is chased by paparazzi and fans and dances with a rabbit.
Rolling Stone magazine praised "Speed Demon",[1] commenting that "filler" tracks on Bad like "Speed Demon" were "richer, sexier [and] better than Thriller's forgettables".[1] and summarized it was a song in which "Jackson's superego gives his ID a ticket"[1]. Allmusic.com called the song "utterly faceless, lacking memorable hooks and melodies"[2].
