... Michael reaches into his pocket and pulls out a quarter. He flicks it off his thumb and it flies up into the air in slow-mo while everybody stands silently transfixed. It arcs down and lands perfectly into a jukebox on the other end of the room. He screams out "Ow!" just as "Blame it on the Boogie" turns on. The room erupts into cool dancing.
My mind is blown. When I first heard the Michael Jackson version of the song, I thought, "This sounds awfully familiar." Cut to the Luis Miguel version, and I immediately recognize it. Funnily enough, that song came out in a separate video about how some Luis Miguel songs sound like opening music for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Mick Jackson's 1st album (which features Blame It On The Boogie) is very good. It has a very Stevie Wonder vibe 2 it....I think he wrote those songs with him in mind. I actually own 3 Mick Jackson records. He's a very good artist.
Third Michael Jackson: Michael James Jackson who was American engineer, producer, and music supervisor, mostly known for producing Paul Williams and Kiss. Passed away from Covid.
Two examples of songs with great cover versions: Didn't mean to turn you on by Cherelle, covered by Robert Palmer and You are in my system by The System, covered by Robert Palmer.
I like Mariah's version of "Didn't Mean To Turn You On", which was built off the same stems as the original and had the same producers (Jam and Lewis).
I love when fascinating things like this are made known. While it's certainly not uncommon for artists to do covers, some artists take that original rendition and give it a life all it's own. Great segment!
The Mick Jackson version of this song made it into “Just Dance,” and I couldn’t convince my kid that Mick and Michael weren’t the same person. Then we looked the song up and could only find the MICHAEL version! It was the kind of argument reserved for “we can’t have pizza for dinner again!”
I've got Mick Jackson's version of the 12" mix on clear vinyl. It's got pride of place in my collection. I remember watching Mick Jackson singing on Top Of The Pops in the UK.
I think what makes a song great are two things. Voice and finding the best arrangement. The best examples I can think of are what Luther Vandross did to basically all of Dionne Warwicks music with his voice and Anita Bakers arrangement of Mystery by the Manhattan Transfer. The second is a small change but I think its a stronger performs.
DTG and Luis Miguel, could be a great episode. He has several hits which are covers of classic songs, but with different titles and lyrics in spanish, in some cases featuring the original musicians. Which is the case of TOP "Attitude Dance", featuring all the Tower of Power crew on "Que nivel de mujer". Amazing singer also.
This was another great video!!! But, Brandon, with as many videos you’ve made about Michael Jackson, I have a hard time believing you didn’t know this information already. You seem like the professor of Hip-Hop and R&B at this point.
The more music I know, the more I realise I don't know. I only discovered the Mick Jackson version (the original) about two years ago. And, shockingly, it is the version that I like to listen to more (Boogie!!!!!!) You can really blame that on the boogie... Hahahaha
This was a really good video. I had to listen to the Mick Jackson song as soon as i finished watching this and the guy sounds a lot like Jay Kay from Jamiroquai.
I think it would be cool if you made a video on No Doubt and Talk Talk, as the former made a cover of the latter's song "It's My Life", but the No Doubt version appears to have more clout.
Joe SAVED his boys career getting them OUT of Motown back in 1975. he got them in Motown at the RIGHT time. and took them OUT and the RIGHT time. and who got Janet that deal at A&M records back in 1981...you got it, JOE JACKSON. joe made a few bad moves. he also made a few damn GOOD ones too. saving ALL their careers. if EL DEBARGE had a manager like Joe Jackson, and he got El OUT of Motown by the mid/too LATE 80's. BIG Superstar was waiting on El.
When I live in Harlem everyone was talking about the jackson saying that michael & the people of Epic record wrote this song now I know the truth thank you guys
This is my first time hearing this version of blame it on the boogie from Mick Jackson so since The Jacksons covered it as well as couple of other people does Mick and his brother David and the other guy Elmar Krohn gets paid
I remember when Destiny came out the big thing was the Jacksons wrote their own material. Wow mind blown. I always thought that was a corny song always. Shake your body down was the hit.
So what you are telling me is a band with an American Michael, and duo with an English Michael, and a Mexican solo artist with the last name that basically is Michael in Spanish all sang on this song? By that logic, I should sing it since half my DNA came from a Michael and I could make it worth my time...lol
I wanted to comment on the Earth Wind and Fire thing doing the Beatles. I hated EW&F's version. They turned a song that had meaning because Paul said he wrote it as a convo between him and this woman. Now in a convo especially if you're trying to get with that someone, you're gonna say got to get got to get you got get you into my life or a simple got to get you into my life? I love both bands and I was a kid when EW&F did that movie and I nearly puked hearing their version. All I could see in my head was done Broadway musical destroying something great. Remember, my opinion just like y'all got your own. No right or wrong here. I loved Mick's version here better. More raw.
Hold up, when did you get over 400 thousand subscribers? I remember when you had like 50k or less like the beginning of this year if my memory is correct
Jeff Buckley's cover of Leornard Cohen's "Hallelujah" might be more well know than the original. Talking Heads cover of Al Green's "Take me to the RIver" . The Isley Brothers cover of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's song "Ohio" and Hendrix's "Machine Gun" (titled "Ohio" / "Machine Gun") blows both originals out of the water.
There's a 4th version - YUP... Did okay in the UK too by a boy band called "Big Fun" Released a year before Luis Miguels version! ruclips.net/video/pzS7zVNgWrg/видео.html
So i guess u don't know fat boy slim did a version as norman cook and was in the charts at the same time as a boy band had a version also, called big fun
There is another version much similar to the jacksons... the singer is Jermaine jackson 😂.... ruclips.net/video/kdilpBQQ8Qo/видео.htmlsi=EAr6Sy8r8W_aaDjp

Stop trying to change history, right in front of our eyes. I've never heard of a Mick.Jackson. this is some type of Jedi Mind trick
Trey fucking rules dude. That's all I have to say.
Michael, Mick, and Miguel dance into a bar
Barman Leta Ubwalwa😂
ow

trey gotta become a mainstay, i mess with that mans vibe...at least occasional cameos! 🕺🏾

Trey is a great addition to this channel.
One of my MJ favorites. Crazy how different the two songs sound.

And of course the AM radio host
Two examples of songs with great cover versions: Didn't mean to turn you on by Cherelle, covered by Robert Palmer and You are in my system by The System, covered by Robert Palmer.
Robert Palmer also did a great cover version of The Gap Band’s “Early In The Morning”
I like Mariah's version of "Didn't Mean To Turn You On", which was built off the same stems as the original and had the same producers (Jam and Lewis).

5:43 Was totally expecting you to spin both vinyls and do a mashup... Pleasantly surprised to see y'all do it the human way though, haha!
The Jackson’s were know for making new covers of other songs. Same with the song called “what you don’t know won’t hurt you” by the Jackson 5
Whos Lovin' You was a cover as well.
The Mick Jackson version of this song made it into “Just Dance,” and I couldn’t convince my kid that Mick and Michael weren’t the same person. Then we looked the song up and could only find the MICHAEL version! It was the kind of argument reserved for “we can’t have pizza for dinner again!”
This is the “Heard It Through the Grapevine” conundrum.
McJackson 🍔🍟😂😝
I've got Mick Jackson's version of the 12" mix on clear vinyl. It's got pride of place in my collection. I remember watching Mick Jackson singing on Top Of The Pops in the UK.
This is a great story and you guys have Avery warm and relaxed vibe together.
Love the banter!
Have a seat, class is in session with Digging the Greats 🔥🔥🔥.
Hard to Handle, You Really Got Me, Piece of my Heart...
This one is regional in a sense, but Jamaican Singer Ken Boothe covered Bread's "Everything I Own", and made it one of his classic songs.
UB40 did Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine
0:15 So much for locking your doors. 😂
😂😂

AI NO CORRIDA
Lesser Known Original: Chaz Jankel (of Ian Dury & The Blockheads fame)
Better Known Cover: Quincy Jones
Fantastic content 👊
DTG and Luis Miguel, could be a great episode. He has several hits which are covers of classic songs, but with different titles and lyrics in spanish, in some cases featuring the original musicians. Which is the case of TOP "Attitude Dance", featuring all the Tower of Power crew on "Que nivel de mujer". Amazing singer also.
Ahora Te Puedes Marchar (I Only Want to Be With You) is an all time classic
This is a nice comparison, like Mary J. Blige and Y?N Vee covering "I'm Going Down" at the same time.
The Y?N Vee that got a shout out in “This Is How We Do It” indeed
@changkwangoh I never realized that. Thank you.
Another classic 🔥 🔥 Episode
I was just listening to Starlight and here you come with another MJ vid 😂
Masterful musical mystery mined.
I’m sure MJ is looking UP to all his fans 😂
There's actually a 4th version of the song: Big Fun - Blame It On The Boogie. That came out in the late 80's, produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman.
Im pretty sure they mention this on Off the wall doc. But yet this is more intersting love it ❤
This was another great video!!! But, Brandon, with as many videos you’ve made about Michael Jackson, I have a hard time believing you didn’t know this information already. You seem like the professor of Hip-Hop and R&B at this point.
You guys make a great team, you should do more videos together...
The more music I know, the more I realise I don't know. I only discovered the Mick Jackson version (the original) about two years ago. And, shockingly, it is the version that I like to listen to more (Boogie!!!!!!) You can really blame that on the boogie... Hahahaha
I can’t believe the guy that composed Fly Robin Fly and the Airwolf theme had anything to do with Blame it on the Boogie😂
State of Shock next....
The lyrics in Luis Miguel's Spanish version fit very will with the song melody. Tremendous hit in Latin America.
Another amazing video! I guess I learned something new today
my favorite example of a cover that (at least for me) was better than the original, was Pseudo Echo's version of "Funkytown"
Yes! I love that version.
This was a really good video. I had to listen to the Mick Jackson song as soon as i finished watching this and the guy sounds a lot like Jay Kay from Jamiroquai.
There was also a baseball pitcher in the 80’s and 90’s who was born Michael but went by Mike Jackson because he didn’t want to be ridiculed
I think it would be cool if you made a video on No Doubt and Talk Talk, as the former made a cover of the latter's song "It's My Life", but the No Doubt version appears to have more clout.
... don't forget the other Michael Jackson that produced for Pablo Cruise...
this was nice
Papa Joe found the song for HIS boys...THE JACKSONS. LOVE those funky horn arrangements in the Jacksons version.
Joe SAVED his boys career getting them OUT of Motown back in 1975. he got them in Motown at the RIGHT time. and took them OUT and the RIGHT time. and who got Janet that deal at A&M records back in 1981...you got it, JOE JACKSON. joe made a few bad moves. he also made a few damn GOOD ones too. saving ALL their careers. if EL DEBARGE had a manager like Joe Jackson, and he got El OUT of Motown by the mid/too LATE 80's. BIG Superstar was waiting on El.
Yup
And I have both.....
[Admin SF]
When I live in Harlem everyone was talking about the jackson saying that michael & the people of Epic record wrote this song now I know the truth thank you guys
Who sample got it wrong
I’m just trying to wrap my head around why the other guy looks like he’s on a green screen but interacts so well…. 🤔
😂 Just cuz it's lit for 1 person instead of 2
@ so he’s actually there? 😂
Do a video about Alfonzo, the OTHER Michael Jackson.
This is my first time hearing this version of blame it on the boogie from Mick Jackson so since The Jacksons covered it as well as couple of other people does Mick and his brother David and the other guy Elmar Krohn gets paid
Mind blown.Period
Great covers surpassing the original? The Isley Brothers did that several times IMO anyway . Luther Vandross is another King Of The Covers.
Make you feel my love - Adele vs Bob Dylan
Wow this is amazing thanks you guys for Is dropping science
I remember when Destiny came out the big thing was the Jacksons wrote their own material. Wow mind blown. I always thought that was a corny song always. Shake your body down was the hit.
Hey a guest host who's just as charismatic 🎉
What a History !!!
what is the name of the song playing in the background of this video
Red red wine
Covered by UB40
Original by Neil Diamond
This is hilarious. I had to buy both versions as a 7"
Black Betty
Original Ram Jam
Cover Spiderbait
So what you are telling me is a band with an American Michael, and duo with an English Michael, and a Mexican solo artist with the last name that basically is Michael in Spanish all sang on this song? By that logic, I should sing it since half my DNA came from a Michael and I could make it worth my time...lol
I think it would definitely be a hit for you, yes 😂
Sadly, Mick's brother Dave passed away last week.
The Byrds made a career out of covering Bob Dylan (although they wrote a lot of great tracks too).
ham ma was wieder gelernt , gut Nacht
To name a couple:
Nirvana - The man who sold the world
Jamelia - Superstar
Johnny Cash - Hurt
My name is Michael as well so maybe I should release my own version of _Blame It On The Boogie_ to make some money...
You've also got to include Norman Cook's "Blame it on the bassline" from 1990 in the mix 🙂ruclips.net/video/WJqlLhe_-Mw/видео.html
At what point do we take responsibility and stop blaming the boogie?✌️
the revels comanche Snoop Dogg down for n sample
How many versions of First Cut is.The Deepest?
I wanted to comment on the Earth Wind and Fire thing doing the Beatles.
I hated EW&F's version.
They turned a song that had meaning because Paul said he wrote it as a convo between him and this woman. Now in a convo especially if you're trying to get with that someone, you're gonna say got to get got to get you got get you into my life or a simple got to get you into my life?

We got some Mandela Effect going on, and that's a different video 😂 done a youtube livestream at every milestone - go check it out!
Jeff Buckley's cover of Leornard Cohen's "Hallelujah" might be more well know than the original. Talking Heads cover of Al Green's "Take me to the RIver" . The Isley Brothers cover of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's song "Ohio" and Hendrix's "Machine Gun" (titled "Ohio" / "Machine Gun") blows both originals out of the water.
common digging the greats w
Sorry, but Mick’s version does everything except make me dance. Not enough pocket for my taste.
There's a 4th version - YUP...
Did okay in the UK too by a boy band called "Big Fun"
Released a year before Luis Miguels version!
ruclips.net/video/pzS7zVNgWrg/видео.html
The best songs ever made never made a corny top 10. 😂
joe cocker’s with a little help from my friends and sinead o'connor’s nothing compares to you are both better then the originals
I like the Stevie Wonder version of We Can Work It Out better than the Beatles did it
Michael Jordan!?
Snoop Dogg down for my n do not sample Isaac Hayes the real sample is the revels comanche
I knew this already. I heard the original version from "Mick Jackson" before the Jacksons..
So i guess u don't know fat boy slim did a version as norman cook and was in the charts at the same time as a boy band had a version also, called big fun
👏👏👏👏
There is a theory about this song that it's about demon possession and the boogie man
*Big Fun - Blame It on the Boogie!* - ruclips.net/video/pzS7zVNgWrg/видео.html
Miguel Hijo de Jaco
Michael JORDAN?!
Nah Michael Johnson, the golden shoed olympic runner
@diggingthegreats ahh now that makes sense
@@saba23456 😂
There is another version much similar to the jacksons... the singer is Jermaine jackson 😂.... ruclips.net/video/kdilpBQQ8Qo/видео.htmlsi=EAr6Sy8r8W_aaDjp
So:
Michael: US.
Mick: UK.
Luis Miguel: Mexico.
*Checks notes* - Correct!
