She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

I drop a it a notch each time it comes on. Now at 3. One of those novelty songs that bears listening to just once perhaps?

Aversion therapy at its best.

If this got played once a year or two, that'd be alright. Once a month? No goddammit, just NO.

I like the original.  I own a copy, and have heard it many times.

Like this version too.  Easily see it as a well produced parody.  They look the part.

Great. More of the same. First the Glass/Blondie hash and now this. Bill, everyone loves a good cover. This, however, is childish. Anyone can find silly, sophomoric covers and call it a playlist. Do better and maybe I'll start contributing again.

I'm all in favour of quirky cover versions but this one lacks style and detracts from, rather than adds anything to to the original. To hear it done properly try Walk on the Wild Side by Pink Turtle.

OK, I gave this a 6 at first listen, but after a couple more plays, it's down to a 1.  Pretty soon it will rate as low as the original.

Are you getting kickbacks from the band for playing this? That is the only way I can rationalize you playing such a poorly rated song!

This is a considerable improvement on Michael Jackson's original, and takes the piss out of it mightily. Not great, but fun. 6 from the Nottingham jury.

This song is not great by it's original artist, it certainly didn't need a remake by a terrible artist. And then imitating the original artist's noises as well? Yuk.

How could you not like it?  If a cover like this makes me re-appreciate a song I've heard so mind-numbingly times as Billy Jean, especially in such a different musical context, then I consider it a hands-down winner.

Posted 15 years ago by sdn    [ Reply ]

Based on the two-hump distribution, looks like you either love or hate this one.  So far I like it, but I'm in agreement with others: I think this will get old quick.

Love that guitar though...

Posted 15 years ago by DigitalJer    [ Reply ]
"Lost fingers?!"  What a darkly funny transition from Django.

Covers of really familiar songs are always such a hoot.  This gets a 10 because I know the words and can sing along!
Posted 15 years ago by unclehud    [ Reply ]

Posted 15 years ago by raewah    [ Reply ]
OKay, it's funny, and a bit shocking to be working and suddenly realize what you're hearing.  The playing is actually good, and it did put a smile on my face.  Happy I heard it, but I'm thinking the novelty will wear off pretty quick, and the tongue in cheek aspect will leave it as something I don't really care if I hear again or not.

When I first heard this I thought I was hallucinating - but check out their website! Reminds ya of Leon Redbone, and it's pure fun.
