I am not saying anything. So the MJ song is a cover? I can´t listen to it here at work, I´ll check it out later at home.

Oh, Mike did a cover of this? I didn't know that.
I only knew of Edwin's and Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band's versions.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
