The U.S. version of George Michael's Greatest Hits album will be shy one new song, and the Michael camp is none too happy about it according to his website. The international version of Ladies And Gentlemen - The Best Of George Michael will include a duet with Mary J. Blige on the Stevie Wonder-penned “As,” but Blige’s label, MCA/Universal, has declined permission for the track to be released in America. Far from retreating from the presumably embarrassing, well-publicized incident when he was arrested for performing a sexual act in front of an undercover policeman, he’s having a field day with it, much to the delight of his fans. The greatest hits package had “Ladies And Gentlemen” added to the title reportedly as a bit of toilet humor, supposedly alluding to his favorite hang out. The album’s first single, a new song called “Outside,” opens with a police siren and other similar noises, plus the tune’s lyrics also appear to address the incident. Most recently, the 'London Daily Mirror’ reports that the video for the single contains a scene shot on Wednesday depicting a man being arrested outside a public outdoor washroom after chatting with an undercover officer.
