The cool thing is this is an excellent cover of the melody of "Beat It, " as well as the Weird Al parody of "Eat It." I'd love for Shonen Knife to do a similar cover of the original MJ song!

I just found out about Shonen Knife. I'm glad I did. Really liking them.

[RaccoonRevolution]

I didn’t know Shonen Knife was still around. Badass.

[shmutzman]

Add this to the pantheon of dope Shonen Knife songs about food!

[Eviltto]

Well don't you know that other kids are starvin' in Japan?

[ovenscornyboy]

Shonen Knife did a great job with this! I just wish Dr. Demento could have said that the parody cover they were doing was a parody of "Beat It"

[BleedingDinoLove]

My first exposure to these girls and I'm hooked!

[indeedken]

Finally...two of my favorite musical acts together at last

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

Of course the Weird Al song Shonen Knife covers is one of his food songs haha

[andreafitzgerald]

Shonnen Knife don't sound like Michael Jackson at all, I still love this cover.

[silversonic]

I never knew how awesome Weird Al's parodies could sound performed like this.
Might also be a bit weirder because I keep getting a Smoke on the Water vibe.

[jonesworthy]

How the fuck haven't they aged since the

[ShikataGaNai]

Hard to believe that Naoko will be 60 this year and Atsuko just turned 56. The Yamano Sisters are still just as cute as ever. Risa is young enough to be their daughter...or even grand dauughter.

[pumpkinhead]

Don't get me wrong, I love this cover, but am I the only one who thinks their intro- and outro- tracks sound like they were lifted straight from Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water"?

Not hatin', just sayin...

[kaydub]

awesome! i love it. these ladies should collab WITH Weird Al, he'd do vocals and they'd do the instruments. :)

[aaronanderson]

I subscribed to this channel because today was Saturday oh and call me if you want the secret to living in a bubble.

[ebierke]

Naoko sounds like Michael Jackson. Wait, Michael Jackson sounds like Naoko?

[DoctorKosher]

This is what happens when you cross Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi with Weird Al. I'm just expecting this to be on something like Teen Titans or My Life as a Teenage Robot.

Andrea lifehouse podcast listen to my podcast episodes to find out who would sound just like Michael Jackson if he did cover this song.
