Is that the "Kanye West Workout Tape" with the lyrics:

"She gotta light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson/
She gotta dark-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson"

i dunno. that always cracks me up.

Wow, I even answered that therad. And apparently I have the title of that Yellowman song wrong here. Too much weed smoking in my youth, I guess.

xpost: wasn't aware of the Gira song, and I think the lyrics are worth quoting.

"watching michaels white hands
make his body like christ
come to me in this bed
yet the animals cry
michaels face is gone dead
but he never was born
so he never could die
feed his thirst without drugs
michaels hands will touch us
yes i believe in nothing clear
but i believe in michaels beard
kingdom shines upon his face
here she comes to us i kneel
cut the heart out from our holes
his hands of love are heavy coals
michael comes with hands of mead
michael comes with lightning teeth
michael brings the truth denied
michael kills the child inside
break the trees up for our fuels
break the streets upon the ruins
bring destruction and bring the end
feed the gas into my lungs
yes i believe in michaels hands
i believe in michaels hands"

memo to fans: that's just about how creepy Michael could come across if you didn't get the music at all.

Bobby Jimmy and the Critters - "One Glove" (1987)

― xhuxk, Sunday, 30 May 2010 00:06 (fifteen years ago)

Bernard Sumner has changed the lyrics in True Faith to 'when I was a very small boy, Michael Jackson played with me'. Not sure if that counts but it's funny.

Jermaine Jackson - "Word to the Badd"

Janet Jackson - "You" (unconfirmed, but I do believe it to be about Michael)

Bjork - "Alarm Call" (rumor unconfirmed by Bjork, but the working title of the song was called "Jacko")

Lisa Marie Presley - "Important" (also unconfirmed, but I am 99% certain this is about him, written from his perspective)

Diana King - "Mi-Cha-El"
