bravo for 'Also Sprach Zarathustra'

Hmmm, I dunno the Strauss isn't really central here and a bit throwaway, so I'm removing it. Sorry!


cool with me!

ah, so when they say "call this number for a good BJ" they mean Billie Jean...good to know.

Dude wash your hands.
Other than that....awesome.
bravo ?

Hyperpigmentation isn't going to wash off, genius.
Also, he's from canada.


Yup, cause we can all tell he has a rare skin disease just by lookin at the grainy low-res video.

Scott Dunbar's version was better IMO. http://www.videosift.com/video/One-man-band-does-awesome-cover-of-Billie-Jean

This was still pretty good, but the frantic guitar strumming at the end of every verse ruined it for me.

Wonder if he was doing his own song people would listen ?


He is kinda doing his own song... I think this is amazing, much prefer this to the original, i think his voice is amazing.

Thanks mate. I found his myspace account just a little bit ago. The dude has some serious talent.

Thanks!

I wonder if he has a cd for sale. Really got me hooked.

YouTube says his name is Scott Dunbar. This may or may not be his myspace page (I think it's him): http://www.myspace.com/edmunddunbar

Way too nice and unworn shoes for a "real" homeless dude. The outfit matches the groove though. Excellent stuff.


This is not necessarily always a correct assumption; homeless people in big cities often get clothing donated to various shelters--the nicer the area the nicer the clothes. I saw homeless people in New York with Burberry (or knock-off) scarves, wearing Pumas and Nike track pants.

He does seem to be doing fine for himself though: http://www.myspace.com/edmunddunbar

Not trying to be a jerk, but "Billie Jean" was listed as one of the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

http://www.rockhall.com/exhibithighlights/500-songs-gj/

If that isn't a reason to add it to the channel I don't know what is. MJ brought his voice to 4 songs on that list, 2 on his own and 2 with the Jackson 5.

So it's clear there's at least some sort of vocal track playing in the background (in the parts where there's his voice saying something, and he is concurrently opening his mouth and saying something else).
But did michael jackson play live or was it all canned?

ugh, for gods sakes.
When he sings with his vocal track, he maxes out the mic so it distorts. Its clearly live. Plus its 1983...HE DOES IT LIVE!


If he is doing it live, it's done pretty well. The live version has been sped up by 1% compared to the original. Heres the live performance synced to the track from the Billy Jean video.

Michael Jackson always lip-synched when performed Billie Jean, because he needed to devote his full attention to his dancing.
