Michael Jackson – Billie Jean (1950's Soul BEST Version) 🎷

This is Michael Jackson – Billie Jean (1950’s Soul BEST Version) — reimagined by @SoulRaspy as a moody, cinematic soul lament, where obsession, denial, and fame’s haunting echo collide under dim club lights and smoky brass.

Originally released in 1983, “Billie Jean” was Michael Jackson’s chilling tale of accusation, love, and deceit — the paranoia of a man haunted by a woman’s claim and the shadow of his own reflection.

In this 1950s Soul reimagining, that tension transforms into a slow-burning gospel-soul confession — told from a dim bar corner, where truth and lies dance in rhythm with a trembling upright bass and lonely trumpet.

🎙️ A raspy, trembling male voice delivers every line like a confession under pressure — half prayer, half denial. Soft jazz drums and muted brass cry in the background, while a dusty Rhodes and ghostly background harmonies echo like the whispers of the crowd.

It’s not just a cover — it’s a reckoning.
A lonely man, a woman’s claim, and the haunting weight of consequence.

✨ Feel the tension. Feel the guilt. Feel the soul. 🎤

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene, uh
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 bein' the one, uh
Who will dance on the floor in the round?

[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do," uh
"And don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts" (Hee-hee)
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do (Oh, oh)
'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (Oh, oh), hey

[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (Woo)
Uh, she says I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (Hee-hee-hee; no, no)
(Hee-hee-hee, woo)

[Verse 2]
For forty days and for 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 (Hee, uh, uh)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice (Don't think twice)
Do think twice (A-hoo)
She told my baby we danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin', his eyes were like mine (Oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby (Ooh, hee-hee-hee)

[Pre-Chorus]
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do," uh
"And don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts" (Don't break no hearts; hee-hee)
But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume (Ha-oh)
This happened much too soon (Ha-oh, ha-ooh)
She called me to her room (Ha-oh, hoo), hey

[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover (Woo)
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son, uh
No-no-no, uh, no-no-no, no-no-no (Woo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (No, no)
She says I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (No, hee-hee-hee)
(Ah-hee-hee-hee)

[Interlude]
Hee, hoo
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom)

[Chorus]
She says I am the one, uh
But the kid is not my son (No-no-no, woo, uh)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (You know what you did to me, baby)
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no (No-no-no, ah), no-no-no-no (No-no-no)
She says I am the one (No, baby)
But the kid is not my son (No-no-no-no; woo, uh)

[Outro]
She says I am the one (You know what you did)
She says he is my son (Breakin' my heart, babe)
She says I am the one
Yeah, yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (She is just a girl)
Yeah, Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (She is just a girl; don't call me Billie Jean, hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh (She is just a girl; she's not at the scene)
Billie Jean is not (Hee), aaow, ooh
Yeah, Billie Jean is
