Sam Tsui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A,B,C easy as 1,2,3
You and i must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
Ill be there
Im gonna make a change
Ill reach my hand to you
Its gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
Ill have faith in all you do
Just call my name
Ill be there
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself,
Then Make A Change
You been hit by
You been struck by
A smooth criminal
She was more like
A beauty queen
From a movie scen
I said dont mind
But what do you mean
I am the one
Thriller! thriller all night
Who would dance on the floor
And around
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
Thriller thriller all night
Who will dance on the floor in the round
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face,
You better disappear
The fire's in their eyes
And their words are really clear
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Beat, beat it
Ill be there
Just beat it beat it
Ill be there
Just beat it beat it
Ill be there
Just beat it!
The Michael Jackson Medley by Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider is a tribute to the King of Pop himself, celebrating some of his greatest hits. The medley comprises of several of Michael Jackson's most popular songs, mixed together in a beautiful harmony that pays homage to the musical genius of Michael Jackson.
The first set of lyrics in this medley is from The Way You Make Me Feel, which speaks to the love and commitment between two people. The lines "A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, 3 / You and I must make a pact / We must bring salvation back / Where there is love, I'll be there," express the idea that love is easy and simple, but it is important to commit to each other and bring happiness and peace to one another.
The second set of lyrics comes from Man in the Mirror, which speaks to the need for self-reflection and change. The lyrics "I'm starting with the man in the mirror / I'm asking him to change his ways / And no message could have been any clearer / If you wanna make the world a better place / Take a look at yourself, then make a change," urge individuals to focus on themselves and take responsibility for their actions in order to make a positive impact in the world.
The last set of lyrics is from Beat It, which speaks to the fight against injustice and standing up for oneself. The lyrics "Just beat it / They told him don't you ever come around here / Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear / The fire's in their eyes / And their words are really clear / So beat it, but you wanna be bad," encourage individuals to stand up to bullies and not let others intimidate them.

She was more like
A beauty queen
From a movie scen
I said dont mind
But what do you mean
I am the one
Thriller! thriller all night
Who would dance on the floor
And around
She was very attractive and resembled a character from a film. When she spoke, I asked for clarification. When it comes to dancing, I am the best, especially when I perform the song Thriller.
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
Thriller thriller all night
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She introduced herself as Billie Jean, and many people were drawn to her. Everyone wanted to be the one to dance all night long, especially to the song Thriller.
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face,
You better disappear
The fire's in their eyes
And their words are really clear
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
They instructed him to stay away and that his presence was not welcome. They do not want anything to do with him, as is made clear by the intensity in their eyes and words. Simply go away, but if you want to cause trouble, then go ahead.
Beat, beat it
Ill be there
Just beat it beat it
Ill be there
Just beat it beat it
Ill be there
Fight or struggle however you may, and I will remain by your side as support.
Just beat it!
Simply fight or contend with the situation at hand.

Ive watched it 100 times over the years... it is the best. ALOT of effort to make this happen.
@blindsay21

@onemillionpercent
blindsay21 2018 and same. At least one of the best.
@robertplajhnik499
No way. First of all because Michael didn't need any evolution. Second - here you have one guy who makes 90% of work by himself and other one who makes a incredible beat box. And the best is that by moments it sound so damn real... You just can't hear Michael in this. Petatonix is nice but too modified or better "evoluted" and I just hate when somebody try to change his songs. But it's all about personal taste ;)

Still listening to this in 2020. In fact, this was the first ever video I saw featuring Sam Tsui and Kurt Hugo Schneider and I have been a fan ever since.
Btw ... I do not believe that enough recognition is given to Kurt ... singer / songwriter / producer / director / musician!!!
