I grew up on MJ.

    I had no idea what you were talking about. Might have saved a click if you mentioned what they were covering and who MJ was.

    Heard there version before. Had it on a compilation in 2003. It’s catchy at first and then tiring, and unlike a lot of great covers I got bored with it fast.

      If you’d had an opinion that was relevant to the question, you would have understood the question. This thread was not for you, and I see no advantage to make it more accessible to someone with nothing to contribute. It’s fun to “get it” and if you don’t get it, dumbing down the reference isn’t going to make it fun for you, it’s just going to make it less fun for others.

        Weird take on a low user public forum where usually this sort of thing is encouraged, but whatever. That isn’t dumbing down anything.

        And I do have an opinion, I know both songs. I don’t think being explicit about what you are asking is going to make anything less fun, lol.

          Man, try using the Internet after 40. EVERYTHING is a stupid in-joke with no explanation. It would be a full time job if I started complaining about it.

      You also could have just skipped the post and not commented if you didn’t know the details but here we are.
