"MJ went out and got wasted or something and then came home and made up some rubbish new words for Billie Jean, including a bit of scat. Enjoy!"

obviously this was his demo

Cinnie said:

I don't know if he was drunk but then again he does sound intelligible!

LOL.

Honestly when I compose a song and hum lyrics it never makes any fucking sense either though. I'm glad y'all can't hear my demo songs, trust me!

The only demo by a singer I heard that sounds great was "Sexual Healing".

Ummmm, I'm not not a Michael fan these days, but this is obviously a demo....it's called working out lyrics...he's not drunk.

Also from the Youtube description:
"(ok so it's a demo done before the final lyrics for Billie Jean were worked out, but it's still funny)"

steelyd said:

He was like that on the demos of "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" and "Working Day & Night".

TotalAlisa said:

funny though right



....bear

...bear

Cinnie said:

"Buttercup a day, hey hey hey... "

Timmy84 said:

that's my line!

and "in a cup, in a ride"

Timmy84 said:

I love the Don't Stop Demo..I have that deluxe edition...Michael, Randy, and Janet..that is hilarious.

Cinnie said:

I laughed when he said "dong-dong-dong-dong say?"



And the end with "bear..." OMG!

Timmy84 said:

I agree. Seen a clip on Marvin where he is rehearsing and just laying on the couch and he still sounds great.

steelyd said:

"We gonna be startin' now, baby..."


"Michael turn down my earphones! (He's trying, Randy...WELL TAKE THEM OFF!)"

steelyd said:

Swear I heard some one cursin' on the end of one of those demos

Cinnie said:

You're talking about this one:



Jackie (or Randy): "Wait until the Bee Gees hear this shit..."

Timmy84 said:

Whooooo!!!! That's how you write a song!!! Dig it!!Break out the cow bells
[Edited 10/24/08 17:20pm]

Am I the only that thinks most of MJ's lyrics, after they are so-called "worked out", are still nonsense? Honestly. I've always thought he was more JBish in his approach to writing songs. He's more rythmic and knows when he's got a hella groove. This is not true in every case, of cousre, but most of his dance tunes don't make much sense lyrically.
It's not even a bad thing. Just saying...

Adisa said:

No you are DEFINITELY not the only one.

Adisa said:

The only song that may not make sense is Don't Stop Till You Get Enough. The rest are fine.

curioso said:

Working Day & Night makes sense to you?

Timmy84 said:

Yes.

curioso said:

Then print the lyrics then.

Is he saying "I'm rocking dynamite"?

Don't over think "Off The Wall"...If it makes you happy who cares , If that album doesn't make you happy, oh well...everything doesn't have to be literal or lineal. Michael w/ his brothers in the Epic days wrote some beautiful well-crafted songs.

steelyd said:

That album shouldn't be explained anyway. It's a happy album I agree.

I remember laughing so hard at the beginning, there was some dialogue but i can't recall what it was cause i haven't listened to it in years, but i was cracking up so much, was it something about turning the microphones up?

alphastreet said:

Yeah, lol. "More bottle and kick in the phones..." It was like he couldn't hear himself, lol. Maybe he was telling Randy that.

we're going to kick the phones or something like that, how can I not remember?

alphastreet said:

Don't worry, Michael's voice is sometimes unintelligible when he talks like that, lol.
