Michael leans to rock

A sad goodbye to a man who made millions happy!!!
It is still hard to believe but true; Michael Jackson is no more alive. Mortality consumed the legendary singer and the cardiac arrest was an unfortunate excuse.
The fact has not sunk in yet. He left a “can not be filled” void. Controversies aside, this is to the person, who made us smile and scream in a voice louder than we could. [When I was composing it I was singing it to the tune of- “I remember the time I had my first smoke”, an anti smoking campaign song, sung by Gary lawyer if you remember]


1. I “remember the time”,
When a “rockin’ robin” from Indiana
“With a child’s heart”, “shoo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day” my way
With that “Smile”, a “2000 watts” smile
That was the beginning of “A brand new day”.

“You are not alone”, he “screamed” in “melody”
He said-“Pretty young thing”, “my girl”, my beautiful girl”
“You’ve got a friend” in me
“Give in to me” “just a little bit of you”
“Come together” and let us “fly away”
“Keep faith” for “we wanna be starting something”

When things go “bad”, “you have got a friend”
So “call on me” and “I’ll be there”.
“You can cry on my shoulder” or “be a lion”
For whatever it is, “don’t let it get you down”
“Don’t stop till you get enough”
“Give one more chance”, “get on the floor”, and dance

It was a “break of a dawn” and I was “up again”.
For “someone in dark” never felt so “happy” again
“I can’t help it” and spread the “wings of my love”
“Here I am” and “I want to rock with you”

“Black or white”, “Music and me” were never the same
“On the line”; “off the wall”, “He is the wizard”, I must say

“Mind is the magic”; “working day & night”
From “Ben” to “Billy” and the “Ghosts” “In the closet” to
“Bad” and “dangerous” made a “History”
So “Invincible”, such a “Thriller”

“Dear Michael”, “I just can’t stop loving you”
“Euphoria” is “The way you make me feel”
“You really got a hold on me”; “We’ve a good thing going”

2. “Tell me I am not dreaming” for “There is a blood on dance floor”
The “Man in the mirror”, the “stranger from Moscow”
“The Dancing machine”, “All things you are”
“Love is here”; “Why” have you “Gone too soon”

“Don’t walk away”, “I need you”
“Heaven can wait”, “Cinderella stay a while”
Let sing a new “Earth song”; let us write “The greatest show on earth”
Once again, “Heal the world” and “touch the one you love”

3. “This time around” when you have gone
“Ain’t no sunshine”, ain’t no “Morning glow”
“Little Susie” “cry” and “Maria” is “Speechless”
“Lonely teardrops” and “there is blood on dance floor”

“Farewell my summer love” though I can “never say goodbye”
But “You can’t win”, what the destiny decides

“It’s too late to change the time”, too late to “beat it”
For time is a “smooth criminal”
For it is “human nature” which slowly forgets the dead
For “they really don’t care about us” even when we are alive
songs will come; new names will emerge
“Tabloid Junkie” will find new “Carousel”
And new “butterflies”...

However, I still “cry”, for it is so difficult to say goodbye.

“Give one more chance”, “Burn this disco out”
“Get on the floor”, and dance

“Don’t stop till you get enough”
“Give one more chance”, “get on the floor”, and dance
PS: All text under " are the name of various song/track of MJ

The autor is half Human, half machine. Go Figure or just revel in what I write

    Your connecting with MJ songs just too brilliant..
    Especially this..
    .....“It’s too late to change the time”, too late to “beat it”
    For time is a “smooth criminal”
    For it is “human nature” which slowly forgets the dead
    For “they really don’t care about us” even when we are alive
    songs will come; new names will emerge
    “Tabloid Junkie” will find new “Carousel”
    And new “butterflies”.....

    I liked this line..very much true..

    MJ was around me when i was growing up. He is and will be this generations ultimate pop icon. May his soul rest in peace.

    Nice post:)))

    BTW, thanks for dropping in, I was a bit tied, you would have noticed, my daughter had to write for me.

    Will visit often, but tell you the truth, i dont exactly prefer political blogs.I think so are most of the people. There are millions of them all around.

    most people and that includes me, are interested in people and their lives.Waiting to get a peep into the life of the blogger.

    Ciao...TC:))))

    So sad. In 1984, “Weird Al” Yancovic released a single “Eat It”, a parody of Michael Jackson song, “Beat It”. This music video, “Eat it” became very popular. "Weird Al" got a Grammy for that single. Before producing this album, he asked Michael Jackson’s permission. Parody means making fun of the original. Michael Jackson was a mega star. Still, he was not only magnanimous enough to give permission but also helped "Weird Al" with the production of "Eat It".

    What teach?, i called you "beauty with Brain" for nothing? Writing a tag response aint rocket science. So not teach-weach!!!
    Hehe, I was just kidding, no compulsions, take your own sweet time....But tagging and responding to tags is a lovely way of interacting and getting to know other blogger.After all we all want readership and we dont write just for ourselves. Hein na? Ciao:)).

    Hey,

    Thank u for writing that, i really needed to read something like this.As if his demise was not pain enough, the media and even the general public has really pissed me of. It seemed liked nobody had something gud to say about him, nothing about his great music and those dance moves and all that people could remember were the controversies.

    This is a beautiful tribute....

    RIP Michael

    Yes, absolutely...and I especially hated ppl who made fun of him using those controversies which they do not have any personal proofs...But thats not something so new of this world..isn't it?

    i know what u mean - like the time of the surgery and the baby dangling - u can see they are making money @ hos expense - and u can tell he was behaving innocently... its not the 1st time that a talented artist behaved quirky - let him live his life as per his rules...

    Ohh Really ... I guess you n me have read n followed what all published n written ...n no one has been a relative or friend of MJ...

    So let you be with your perception n I'm free to express mine...

    Reading what published is one thing and following is other.. I read all of them but do notchoose to believe them... To me his music was greatest...he uplifted my mood many a times when i was alone and sad..i listened to his songs and lyrics amazed. Hope you appreciate your friend's likeness. rest all as you said is freedom of expression. You have your own and me, mine...so cheers!!! :)

  35. ManAG29 June

    Ohh yes when comes to music ... even I like it and no doubt he was one of the all time greatest ...but celebritism has one major side effect... dat is your personal life is no longer yours... So everyone has a say with their own perception ... n u can't force your likeness on your "FRIEND" ... n one more thing when people Blog and invite others to write they should be open to all views..not sure the rule is " write sth to appreciate your friend's likeness"
