New 'Despicable Me 3' Trailer Scored With Michael Jackson Music

By Radio.com Staff

(RADIO.COM) – Despicable Me 3 just released a new trailer and it features music from Michael Jackson. But the song that comes in strong at the beginning of the trailer has fans scratching their heads.

The clip kicks off with the fat beat of Xzibit's 2011 track, "What It Is" featuring Young De. Then Jackson's "Bad" is featured prominently throughout the trailer. There's also a pretty funny use of "Happy Birthday" near the end.

Despicable Me 3 features the vocal talents of Kristen Wiig, Steve Carell, Trey Parker and Miranda Cosgrove. The animated film is slated to hit theaters this summer.

Check out the full clip below followed by Xzibit and Micheal Jackson's original tracks:
