I recall in late 1983,there was a song by a woman who was supposedly the "Billie Jean" that Michael was talking about in his song.It used the same music as Mike's song,and the chorus goes...

"I'm Billie Jean,and I'm mad as hell
I'm a woman with a story to tell
Superstar....you know just who you are
Superstar....you know just who you are"


Throughout the song,she talks about having an affair with Micheal and falling deeply in love with him.But then she claims that Michael began to ignore her...

"but then all of a sudden,you just stopped coming by
you never called on the phone,and I didn't know why"


Then,she claims that she is pregnant with his baby.I had heard that Mike's song was inspired by a real-life groupie who was stalking him and claiming that she had his baby.Does anyone remember this song? What was the lady's name who sang it? I thought it was an interesting "answer song".It's too bad that Mike didn't keep the drama going by responding back with another song...lol...

I think her name was Linda Murdock (or Lydia Murdock? .. have 2 check at home). I even bought the 7 inch hey it was the height of the MJ craze

(in crotchety old man voice) Hey there youngn'! Watch that sass! Back in my day, we had respect for our elders! We didn't have any of this new-fangled internet stuff! If we wanted to complain about our favorite artist, we had to do it over the telephone. MTV actually played music back in those days!! We'd wait hours just to see our favorite video! That's the way it was, and we liked it!!

oh dang, i missed out on all the thriller rip-off songs...they should put 'em all together on a compo CD or something, i'm sure it'd be a riot.

Funny clip!
I don't know that song, but I do remember Dear Michael by Kim Fields (which I believe was posted just a few days ago).

No....I don't remember that song.

Is that the single by "The Real Billie Jean?"

David Eye, you've stumped me on that one. I've never heard that song.

wow,that's so funny,yes I actually remember that song
from when I was a kid.I remember a compilation calles

Street sounds that came out on LP in different volumes.
THey were so great & I think it was on 1 of those.

I remember that song, so I guess i am old

Do you remember the song, "Roxanne, Roxanne" by UTFO... Later, a girl named, "The Real Roxanne" had a reply by the same name.

Also - there was an answer to the song "The Rain" by Oran "Juice" Jones. I don't remember the name though.

Yeah,I remember that one! LOL.The lady compliments "Juice" on his white suit..."It looks as good on you today as it did yesterday"

June7 said:

hehe yeah, there were probably a dozen of Roxanne related songs out there, this was the biggest "answer song" craze I can remember

That was "Thunder and Lightning" by Miss Thang.
