 The music video (or "short film") for "Say Say Say" was directed by Bob Giraldi, who had previously directed Michael Jackson's music video for "Beat It". Cameo appearances in the video are made by McCartney's then wife Linda, as well as Jackson's older sister La Toya. According to LaToya Jackson, during filming of the video, the McCartneys were staying at a piece of property called Sycamore Ranch. Michael visited them and expressed interest in someday buying the property. In 1988, he would, renaming it Neverland Ranch. To accommodate Jackson's busy schedule the video was filmed at Los Alamos near Santa Barbara, California. McCartney flew in specially for filming. The video cost $ 500,000 to produce.
