GHOST

There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know it's bless the tune
Because now it's haunting me

Don't understand it
Don't understand it

There's a thumpin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one seem there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open

Where a restless soul is pokin'


Don't understand it
Don't understand it

(Got a ghost
Got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul
Got a break in the halls
Got to see it
Want to)

And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my fablic
tree?

They put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy

There's a thumpin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's seem there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open
Where a restless soul is going

Don't understand it
Don't understand it

(Got a ghost
Got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul
Got a break in the halls
Got to see it
Want to)

And who gave you the right to scheme my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my fablic tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion?
To see me!
And who gave you the right to shame my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my fablic trees?

You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A suckin' ghost of jealousy

And who gave you the right to shame my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my fablic tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion?
To see me!
And who gave you the right to hurt my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my fablic tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy

Come on!
But it's dynamite
A peace of mine
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
Where a restless soul is pokin'


Don't understand it
Don't understand it

Favourite Winter Coat

I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See Their Needs

A Broken Bottle Top

WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHING

[Chorus]
I Said You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
You Got To Be Startin' Somethin'
I Said You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
You Got To Be Startin' Somethin'
It's Too High To Get Over
(Yeah, Yeah)
Too Low To Get Under
(Yeah, Yeah)
You're Stuck In The Middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And The Pain Is Thunder
(Yeah, Yeah)
It's Too High To Get Over
(Yeah, Yeah)
Too Low To Get Under
(Yeah, Yeah)
You're Stuck In The Middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And The Pain Is Thunder
(Yeah, Yeah)

[Verse 1]
I Took My Baby To The Doctor
With A Fever, But Nothing He Found
By The Time This Hit The Street
They Said She Had A Breakdown
Someone's Always Tryin'
To Start My Baby Cryin'
Talkin', Squealin', Lyin', Sayin'
You Just Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
You Love To Pretend That You're Good
When You're Always Up To No Good
You Really Can't Make Him Hate Her
So Your Tongue Became A Razor
Someone's Always Tryin'
To Keep My Baby Cryin'
Treacherous, Cunnin', Declinin'
You Got My Baby Cryin'

[Chorus]

You're A Vegetable,
You're A Vegetable
Still They Hate You,
You're A Vegetable
You're Just A Buffet,
You're A Vegetable
They Eat Off Of You,
You're A Vegetable

[Verse 3]
Billie Jean Is Always Talkin'
When Nobody Else Is Talkin'
Tellin' Lies And Rubbin' Shoulders

BILLIE JEAN

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

THRILLER

It's Close To Midnight And Something Evil's Lurking In The Dark
Under The Moonlight You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart
You Try To Scream But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It
You Start To Freeze As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You're Paralyzed

[Chorus]
'Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
And No One's Gonna Save You From The Beast About Strike
You Know It's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're Fighting For Your Life Inside A Killer, Thriller Tonight

[Verse 2]
You Hear The Door Slam And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run
You Feel The Cold Hand And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun
You Close Your Eyes And Hope That This Is Just Imagination
But All The While You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up Behind
You're Out Of Time

[Chorus]
'Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
There Ain't No Second Chance Against The Thing With Forty Eyes
You Know It's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're Fighting For Your Life Inside Of Killer, Thriller Tonight

[Bridge]
Night Creatures Call
And The Dead Start To Walk In Their Masquerade
There's No Escapin' The Jaws Of The Alien This Time
(They're Open Wide)
This Is The End Of Your Life


[Verse 3]
They're Out To Get You, There's Demons Closing In On Every Side
They Will Possess You Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial
Now Is The Time For You And I To Cuddle Close Together
All Thru The Night I'll Save You From The Terror On The Screen,
I'll Make You See

[Chorus]
That This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
'Cause I Can Thrill You More Than Any Ghost Would Dare To Try
Girl, This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
So Let Me Hold You Tight And Share A Killer, Diller, Chiller
Thriller Here Tonight

(Rap Performed By Vincent Price)
Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorize Y'awl's Neighbourhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found
Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist

MICHAEL JACKSON king of pop

MICHAEL JACKSON fue un cantante, compositor y bailarín estadounidense de música pop y sus variantes. Conocido como el «Rey del Pop», fue incluido en el Guinness World Records como el cantante más exitoso de todos los tiempos.[cita requerida] Su contribución a la música, al baile y a la moda, además de su publicitada vida personal le convirtieron en una figura de la cultura popular.

Comenzó su carrera artística con sus hermanos en la banda The Jackson 5 a mediados de los años 1960, en el cual publicó junto a ellos diez álbumes hasta 1975. En 1971 inició su carrera en solitario, aunque siguió perteneciendo a la banda de sus hermanos. Debido al extraordinario impacto de su álbum Thriller (1982), el disco más vendido de la historia de la música, se convirtió en la mayor estrella de la música pop en ese momento. Algunos de sus álbumes publicados, como Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) o HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (1995), figuran entre los álbumes más vendidos de todos los tiempos, lo que le sirvió para entrar en el Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Por otra parte, trece de los 98 sencillos de Jackson alcanzaron el primer lugar de la lista Billboard 100 y vendió entre 300[1] y 350 millones[2] e incluso se consideran las ventas de más de 750 millones de discos.[3]

Fue reconocido durante su carrera con el apodo del «Rey del Pop», siendo la superestrella de la música pop[4] más exitosa a nivel mundial, sin embargo también su música incluyó una amplia acepción de subgéneros como el rhythm & blues (soul y funk), disco y dance.[4] También durante su vida sirvió de influencia musical para decenas de artistas. Michael Jackson a lo largo de su trayectoria ha cosechado múltiples premios, ha sido incluido dos veces en el Salón de la Fama del Rock, ha batido múltiples récords en el Guinness World Records y ha recibido veintiséis American Music Awards y quince premios Grammy, de los cuales dos son póstumos. Posee el récord de artista más galardonado de la historia de la música, con 386 premios. Además, ha sido reconocido por sus actos de filantropía, ostentando el récord al artista que más dinero ha donado a obras benéficas, con cientos de millones de dólares donados a 39 instituciones de este tipo.

Posteriormente, en los años 1990 se vio envuelto en dos capítulos polémicos: el primero en 1993 y más tarde en 2003. En ambos casos el cantante fue acusado de pederastia, a través de acusaciones de abuso sexual hacia dos niños de trece años en cada caso. Sin embargo, las acusaciones fueron revocadas tras abonar una suma de más de veinte millones de dólares a fin de evitar un juicio en el primer caso y, en el segundo, al ser absuelto en el juicio por falta de pruebas. Estos sucesos tuvieron repercusión mundial y afectaron sus últimos años de su vida y carrera artística. Casi una década después, fue publicado Invincible (2001), cuyo lanzamiento fue reconocido como un total fracaso, puesto que las ventan fueron inferiores a los gastos y el artista se vio implicado en una disputa con su discográfica. Tras más de diez años desde su última gira, Michael Jackson anunció su regreso a los escenarios con una gira que se titularía This Is It, sin embargo, a casi veinte días del comienzo de la gira, el 25 de junio de 2009, el cantante falleció por un paro cardiorrespiratorio. El Departamento Forense del Condado de Los Ángeles declaró que su muerte había sido un homicidio, y su médico personal se declaró «no culpable» de los cargos de homicidio involuntario ante un tribunal y pagó una fianza para no ingresar a prisión, su juicio se pospuso para enero de 2011. La repentina muerte del artista dio lugar a una avalancha de pena, y hasta mil millones de personas vieron su funeral público en la televisión en vivo. En 2010, Sony Music Entertainment firmó un contrato con su familia por 250 millones de dólares para retener los derechos de distribución de sus discos y publicar hasta siete álbumes póstumos hasta 2017.
