According to Bad 25, the song and subsequent video was intended to show another aspect to public 's perception of Michael Jackson in addition to his reputation as a lover `` ( I Just Ca n't Stop Loving You ) '' and being streetwise ( `` Bad '' ) they wanted to show him as a flirt or able to pick up girls. `` The Way You Make Me Feel '' has been featured on multiple greatest hits and compilation albums by Jackson since the song 's release, including the first disc of Jackson 's two disc compilation album HIStory : Past, Present and Future, Book I in 1995, Jackson 's greatest hits album, Number Ones in 2003 and the This Is It compilation album in 2009.

( May 2013 ) The music video for `` The Way You Make Me Feel '' was directed by Joe Pytka and produced by Michael Nesmith. It was choreographed by Jackson and Vincent Paterson. The short version of the video is seven minutes and fifty - four seconds long and the full version is nine minutes and thirty - three seconds long. The video begins with a group of men trying to pick up women, but failing. One of the men ( Michael Jackson ) is told to go home and not to hang around with the other guys anymore. When the man walks home, an elderly man ( played by Joe Seneca ), who is sitting on the steps of his house, tells him to just be himself. The man notices a woman, played by model / dancer Tatiana Thumbtzen, walking down the streets alone. Shortly after the man walks out of an alley and stands in front of the woman while she 's walking down the street, although she ignores him and keeps walking. He gets her attention by shouting, and then begins singing `` The Way You Make Me Feel '' to her while also dancing. Uninterested, she walks away. He follows her, having been cheered on by his friends to pursue her. Another dance routine begins, involving the man 's friends, which leads to the man pursuing the woman throughout the neighborhood. The video ends with the man eventually winning the woman over, and embracing her, while a fire hydrant sprays out water. The videoclip also features an appearance by his sister La Toya as one of Thumbtzen 's friends. The music video was released on October 31, 1987, and received one nomination at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards Ceremony. The video, alongside Jackson 's ' `` Bad '' video, was nominated for Best Choreography, but lost to Jackson 's younger sister Janet 's video `` The Pleasure Principle ''. The music video was included on the video albums : Video Greatest Hits -- HIStory ( long version on DVD and short version on VHS ), Number Ones ( short version ), Michael Jackson 's Vision ( long version ) and the Target version DVD of Bad 25 ( long version ). The introduction of the full version of the video also samples the Roy Ayers 1985 song `` Hot '' ( written by Binky Brice, Philip Hunter Field and James Mtume ) from his You Might Be Surprised album.
