Billie Jean - Medieval Style (Vocals) 

Lyrics! She looked like some kind of royalty From across the sea I quoth, "Don't mind, but what dost thou mean “Thou art the one, Who wilt dance on the floor in the round?" She said "thou art the one who wilt dance on the floor in the‘round " She told me thy name was Billie Jean As she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who wilt dance on the floor in the round Folk have always told me, "Be careful of thy will! Don't go ‘round breaking young maid's hearts." And mother always told me, "Be careful with thy love, Be careful what thou do” As lie becometh truth." Billie Jean is not my lover Thou art a lass whomst claims that I am the one But the child is not my blood She says "Thou art the one!" But the child is not my blood For forty days, and forty nights God was on her side But who could stand When she’s in demand Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So heed my strong advice Just remember to always think twice She quoth, "My lady, we'd danced 'til three." Then she looked at me And showed a tapestry, babe hath cried His eyes looked like mine Do a dance on the floor in the round, Lady Folk have always told me, "Be careful of thy will!’ Don't go ‘round breaking young maid’s hearts." And mother always told me, "Be careful with thy love, Be careful what thou do” As lies becometh truth." (Hey-hey) Billie jean is not my lover Thou art a lass who claims that I am the one Nay the child is not my blood Billie jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that "Thou art the one!" Nay the child is not my blood She says "Thou art the one" But the child is not my blood No... [Harpist Goes Fucking Wild] She cries "Thou art the one!" But the child is not my blood Billie Jean is not my lover Thou art a lass who claims that "Thou art the one!" Nay the child is not my blood She says "Thou art the one!" But the child is not my blood Billie Jean is not mine lover Billie Jean is not mine lover Billie Jean is not mine lover Billie Jean is not mine lover Billie Jean is not mine lover Billie Jean is not mine lover Billie Jean is not mine lover

bardcore is unironically turning into a great genre

“Sir Michael pls”. I’m dead.

This is an addiction now since we’re basically reverting back to Medieval times where we bake bread, die from this plague and build castles and fight players in Minecraft for land

We need some Smooth Criminal in medieval style

My courtier Wilhelmina Jeanne has brought a baby boy to court and claimed that he is mine! > Legitimize him > Acknowledge him as mine *>* *Denounce* *him*

Song: 1900's Lyrics: 1600's Music: 1300's _Mr. Timewide_

"Fly Me To The Moon" in medieval style would be awesome

This is literally a bard song. About how the bard gets in some complicated shit because of a maiden that he fooled around with.

Lady Jeanne: "sir Michael pls" Ser Michael: "hee hee"

When the lady's tapestry doth displeaseth me and mine

Just noticed the white glove on the left hand

this guy actually sounds like he would have good metal voice

Thou art doing God's work, good sir. Well done!

Hear me out....Broadway musical.. but it's bardcore....and all legendary pop songs of the decade

This moon walk be the source of witchcraft.

Morgan: Ser pls... Artoria: *Nay! The child is not my blood!*

I'm literally in public right now just trying to get food while listening to this and someone came up to me asking if I was okay because I was laughing silently with tears in my eyes- I legitimately was crying and had no clue- I showed them what I was watching and they started laughing too Humanity can be great sometimes.

2019: CityPop 2020: Medieval Style

Even in Mideval times, Michael Jackson be rocking the music scene.

Me and the lads about to run away from child support lol.

"Folk have always told me, 'be careful of thy will'"- okay, so I have no idea whether the pun is intentional or not, but in Early Modern English as well as meaning 'the thing you want to do', which is pretty much what the line says in the original song, the word "will" was also slang for genitalia. Which is… fucking hilarious in context, so well done if it *was* intentional. 😂

This wave of high-effort shitposting is quickly taking over my recommends and I'm okay with this. Humor aside, I was not expecting such a strong voice such as the parts around 2:50 - 3:35. Legitimately impressive.

Here's a challenge for ya! "Video Killed The Radio Star"

Yea, I am doubtless the bard of legend: Sir Michael, son of Jack, wouldst be most pleased with this rendition of his most favor’d tune. Indeed, he wouldst proclaim “I love this song.” I do recall he didst enjoy “Eat It”, the parody tune of “Beat It”, as performed by that merry jester, Sir Alfred of Yankovic.

Love the tavern ambience at the beginning. Settles thou inneth fer thy ride.

*King of Bard, Lord Michael of The Jackson V*

“Sir Michael pls” YOU MEAN KING MICHAEL

When Michael, son of Jack, parteth ways with his minstrel brothers and performed the moonwalke…

The way he sings the chorus is just *muah* delicious

Jaskier meeting all his bastard children he had with random lovers

Micheal Jackson would be impressed

WIlst none praise thee of thine sweetness of thine voice? Tis a banger sir

I always really appreciate the bardcore songs that add vocals, hand percussion, etc. They’re way more enjoyable than midi file covers that just swap the original instrument 1 for 1 with synth sounds

I have no idea how I got here. This has been a strange rabbit hole. Verily.

This was excellent. Sir Michael, Son of Jack would be proud.

Does anyone else picture this happening to a DND bard?

This should be in the next Shrek movie.

I just found your channel while looking for songs to use on a D&D 5e game I'm planning. My fellow bard, thou arth truly an amazing musician. Please, keep up the great job, for now you have a new subscriber. Cheers from Brazil 💙

When one of the villagers start changing skin colors and sliding backwards...

Idea: "Safety Dance" by Men without hats, it has already some medieval vibes ;)

thou shalt provest that the child of Willa of Jean be not thine.

wtf the vocals are sick

Man, who knew metal-like vocals would be so good combined with bardcore instrumentals. Love this stuff. Keep it up!

can’t even tell u how much i genuinely enjoy this, the vocals are stellar!

"His highness, has requested you to play at his court, Ser Michael"

Ok, that was awesome, now I'm imagining "Smooth Criminal" and "Thriller" done like this.

The vocals on this are amazing, convey the emotion of this song so well

I'm expecting to hear this whenever I enter a tavern in the next elder scrolls game

Sounds like something Jaskier would totally go for.

that whole bardcore genre thing going on on youtube right now is so fckin awesome i love it its unironically awesome ❤

Im really enjoying all these medievel covers Thanks man

this is truly wonderful ! I've been binge listening to you and a lot of the other bardcore folks since the algorithm recommended it thank you algorithm ! I don't get to say that last part too often lol !

That "hey hey" part really strikeh with vigor.

Billie Jean Nasral v kuvshin, ay! Billie Jean Nasral v kuvshin, ay ay! Act, people! Life is a theater and people are actors......

I'm just listening to bard core and lowkey crying because it's so beautiful

This makes me FEEL like I’m there in those times, hearing them play it live, wow

ok this sounds epic

We’ve seen other great bardcore covers before but with this one I can actually imagine a group of bards performing in front of a campfire for some passing travellers. Really, greatly done!

This is wonderful, I just love it so much, You're very talented

At least King Henry the 8th would acknowledge Henry Fitzroy as his blood

You have a wonderful voice. Seriously, I got chills. The expressiveness, the blend of rounded tones with the roughness - if it's rough because of it being at the edge of your range, it doesn't show. I look forward to hearing more of your work.

Good sire, thou didst miss the opportunity to say, "She wast a wench who cried I wast the one."

03:40 imagine a guy dancin moonwalk at medieval era on the floor, people scream HERETIC !! WITCHH !! DARK MAGIC !!

You can tell a good song, if it can be turned to other genre but still keep the soul of the song.

Ok so i just discovered bardcore yesterday and spent all day listening to different songs. This is probably the best one i could find

Daim! “The child is not my blood!”. I’m stealing this phrase.

I humbly request, a medieval take on Smooth Criminal. This is amazing dude!

Can we get "Hungry like a Wolf" by Duran Duran?

Did I just go to an alternative universe

This genuinely sounds great! We neeeed to bring back bard music

How about i want it that way as bardcore?

Just discovered this genre. It's both amazing and hilariously stupid all at the same time. Bardcore is the best thing to come out of 2020.

"The things i do for love" strings longbow with murderous intent

This is quite possibly the best bardcore song with vocals I’ve heard. The vocal work is SO passionate and on point!! Keep up the fantastic work!!

It's strange how few lyrics had to be changed

This is great, your vocals are AMAZING dude!

I would love Land Down Under again but with vocals.

This is brilliant. Was gonna post that GIF of Jackson going "I love this song" but forgot this ain't twitter. :P I reckon the dude would enjoy this version of his iconic track. :)

This cover is so good. I love it so much. The arrangement reminds me of home.

I'm seriously laughing soo hard at all these medieval/ancient latin covers. They're sooooo good! I think it's cause I've always enjoyed singing songs backwards or in silly accents, and playing songs with weird instruments

This channel is just a paradise for me or a paradise for a music lover😊❤

Love the hat and glove on the guy on the right hand side.

Considering we have a mad king and a deadly plague, this song is a 2020 vibe and a half.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think they would have written "ye" in Gothic or hand written script. The y in the word "the" as in the "the ballad-" replaces the letter þ which is called "thorn" (þorn) and made a "th" sound. Thorn was a holdover from the runes used to write in England before the introduction of the Latin alphabet. Because the Latin alphabet didn't have a native letter for the þ sound, the thorn was kept. When the printing press was introduced from Europe (mainly Germany), there wasn't a þ letter, because German doesn't have one. Instead, people used the Y because it had a similar shape. The idea of using th to represent the 'th' sound existed, but wasn't popular because paper was expensive, and using two letters to represent a single sound was a waste of space. If you were writing it by hand though, there would be no reason to write "þe" as "Ye". You'd just write þe. This has been a lesson in history, thanks.

Let's be honest. We all saw this in our recommended and were like "Sure why not"

Absolute masterpiece. This is the pinnacle of song covers

The start really sounded like 'Livin' on a prayer'. Nudge Nudge... (also the singer's voice would really work there I think)

This is so good it makes you think that maybe it was Michael Jackson's producer who discovered this song on some dusty scroll in a cathedral, and not the other way around.

I keep seeing these pop up in my Up Next feed when I look at stuff about swords or food from the medieval period..and now I know why.

The lead singer is something else, love his voice. Amazing!!!! Such passion

Immigrant song in the style of historical viking music. That could work...

Is nobody gonna talk about how this man can sing so good ??!

Still a banger !!!!! Even after 600 years

Normally I'm not a fan of lyrics being added to bardcore, but your voice is great so this is an exception

If MJ was alive I'm 100% sure he'd love this

I would love to hear Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” presented in Ye Olde Style 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I was sent by a squirrel. This is some GOOD SHIT BRO, YEAAAHHH!

Absolutely excellent all around. Great vocals, damn fine instrumentals. Beautiful. I'm sure MJ himself would approve.

ABSOLUTE REDDIT MOMENT! MY WIFE'S BOYFRIEND LOVES THIS.
