I'm all in favour of quirky cover versions but this one lacks style and detracts from, rather than adds anything to to the original. To hear it done properly try Walk on the Wild Side by Pink Turtle.

I can stomach this more than the Blondie/Phillip Glass cover.

As a guitarist and a huge fan of odd covers (I do an awesome solo guitar samba arrangement of Purple Haze) I hafta say, these guys rock.

OK, I gave this a 6 at first listen, but after a couple more plays, it's down to a 1.  Pretty soon it will rate as low as the original.

every once in a while, bill will go from sublime, low profile to wickedly hilarious in his segues.  this is one of the examples of the second....

Bill,
Are you getting kickbacks from the band for playing this?? That is the only way I can rationalize you playing such a poorly rated song!

There are segues that make you swoon . . . and then there are segues that make you sit up and say, "Whaa ?!?!?"

This is one of those segues.

This is a considerable improvement on Michael Jackson's original, and takes the piss out of it mightily. Not great, but fun. 6 from the Nottingham jury.

This song is not great by it's original artist, it certainly didn't need a remake by a terrible artist. And then imitating the original artist's noises as well? Yuk.

Aw come on, Bill —- just play some actual MJ and leave this for The Comedy Channel.

How could you not like it?  If a cover like this makes me re-appreciate a song I've heard so mind-numbingly times as Billy Jean, especially in such a different musical context, then I consider it a hands-down winner.

Funny.  But not too often Bill.

Do you think they recorded it in one take, too?

Based on the two-hump distribution, looks like you either love or hate this one.  So far I like it, but I'm in agreement with others: I think this will get old quick.

Love that guitar though...
