   When did 'eat it' come out?

   • "Eat It" most definitively came later -- released in late February 1984, after "Beat It" had made its mark. It served as the opening track of Yankovic's second album, "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3D, and as is his tradition, he obtained Jackson's permission to record the song beforehand. But, like "Beat It," it was the video that really took off.
