Billie Jean She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't 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 don't 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 She's 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 she's 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, do think twice) She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me Then showed a photo a baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh, no) 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts She came and stood right by me Just the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She's 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 She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She's 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 She says I am the one You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe She says I am the one Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean) Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover
In the 80s and 90s, producers sometimes sped up the tape a little when mastering a song, if they thought it would benefit the song, may be they did that also for this song ?
@@martijn_yt Some producers even do it now like I do. I make my own music for fun, and speeding up or slowing down is a trick I have used on masters using either Audacity or Sound Forge.
Also now @martijn_yt I also make electro pop music for fun slash meditative purposes (if you like Kylie Minogue you'll like my stuff) and I always do that at the end after the master. I'll speed it up a tad bit. My theory on why it "lifts" everything and makes you sound like a nice smooth creamy pop godess, has to do with EQ. It lifts the high end to a point where the song just sparkles. The problem is that when you try and play along to the backtrack, it speeds up and slows down in different places (or attest it feels like it). If you try and play along with the released Billie Jean song it sounds a bit off and I think that's why. In the olden days they used the magic varispeed button (am I allowed to talk about it?). I use another technique but pretty much the same thing.
@@martijn_yt I'm one year late, but yes you're right. MJ sped up other songs slightly like Smooth Criminal and Tabloid Junkie to make it more funkier. Learnt that from other comments.
I knew I heard some low toms in there. Great job. The overdubs of shakers and some sort of snare hits must’ve been done on a LinnDrum
The BJ Drum is not from a LinnDrum
@@darth.v4derrobviously not. He’s talking about the shakers and claps
Yes this is what I wanted! Thanks! I’m Subscribing
Thanks!

Billie Jean
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't 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 don't 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
She's 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 she's 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, do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo a baby crying, his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's 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
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's 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
She says I am the one
You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
at times the voice of michael is heard
Ikr 😍
This sounds really good. The BPM is slightly slower, why is this the case?
I don't know.

Does anyone know the BPM of this song?
114-115 bpm
Hi I know Ndugu son. Is this the actual demo track from the recording I will send this to his son.?
Hi! Cool! It's the actual track.

Anyone who hears this and doesn't immediately pick up a bass has failed at life! And if you don't have a bass, run out and buy one!
