Copied from: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=323469 Subject: Re: Response to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson Answered By: pinkfreud-ga on 01 Apr 2004 11:59 PST The song "I'm Billie Jean," released in 1982, was a real oddity. It was a near-clone of Michael Jackson's original song, both in music and in lyrics. The female singer was never identified, and the song was released only on a 12-inch EP titled "Michael." The EP was not in general distribution to the public, but it got some airplay by radio DJs and clubs. "The appearance of two Michael Jackson -related 12-inch EPs of mysterious origin - both called Michael - bearing the caveat 'These are weird renditions of weirder songs originally recorded by the weirdest artist' - was very intriguing... the Billie Jean answer song I'm Billie Jean (the kid was his son) is also entertaining."
