只有旅行和藝術可以自己決定

I don't belong to the Michael Jackson world, but I have to admit that he indeed brought a lot of amazing performance experiences to the world. He wrote quite some great songs, but normally I was distracted from his fancy steps and body movements. For one of his hits Billie Jean, not until I heard Veloso singing it with only guitar and simple percussion, I didn't realize the song was talking about something that could be seen as a serious social issue(due to my poor English to understand Michael Jackson's screaming and accent of singing). Without other entertaining "side effects", Billie Jean still has its right to be one of the hits of the decades.

Caetano Veloso sings Billie Jean. The original dancing music becomes very sentimental and somehow confessing.


For me, the amazing part of the Billie Jean is its the rhythm beats and melody of bass. With this bass foundation, artists can create new remix combining other styles and expressions, while people can still recognize its originality from Billie Jean.

Lyrics

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said dont 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 dont 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
Shes 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 forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when shes 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 where dancing still 3:00
Then she looked at me, she show me a photo
My baby cried, cause his eyes where like mine

People always told me be careful of what you do
And dont 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
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
