1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

Beat It, by Michael Jackson
Lyrics:
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, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

The camera quality of their recent videos are certainly better, but the edits on those old videos are just gold. Wish they do these kinds of videos again.

[KathyLondon]

When she looks at the camera I feel like she's staring at my soul.

[LoneStoneMaalik]

Dude playing in the instruments is literally jamming his soul out. So much fun creating music. ❤️ 🎶 🎼

[christianderamnulfieden]

Then years later, still one of my favorite things on youtube.

[visaman]

It's good to actually good  to hear the lyrics to this song for a change

[SchwarzwaldmicheI]

Absoluter Murks. Wie kann man ein schönes Lied nur so verunstalten, das ist auch ne Kunst.

[derrellstumpfel]

10 years ago .. still cool now ... And in the beginning ....

[lovefight]

Just coming back to the early days, my oh my how much has changed. Also, Nataly got really super beautiful along the way 😮

[nintendork]

And after 4 songs, two being covers, I think I found a new band to go on my list of favorites. Total support for what you guys do!

[MrLoft]

the instrumental guy is a fucking magician LMAO

[ScorpFOZ]

WOW, her voice is as memorizing as the way you guys did the video!

[Poosnatcher]

Years later, I'm still so in love.

[chasyamila]

i dont understand why 6thousand people dislike this....i guess because the song isnt marketable for these people..., i think this arrangement is awesome...a great change from its original.its nice to hear...love the voice, and most of all i like the arragement

[blazephoto]

Everybody historically says there's nothing better than the original, but this one is.

[zheroo]

Love her voice when she says beat it :) it's like beat but no you can stay too if u like :)

[DannyStopMotions]

As a musician, I do not file this under "indie crap" like others.  I do not like indie, but i LOVE pomplamoose. A few things.
1. They're successful and you're not, so there are trolls.
2. They have SICK harmonization and amazing musical talent.
3. They are unique.

2:49 It doesn't matter what you had for lunch, just eat it eat it eat it. (Weird Al) 

[chsxtian]

holy crap that 10 seconds of ironic music is pretty good

[stickalito]

Hey, you guys are a great duo. Thanks for the enjoyment I derive from watching your work. Best of everything to the both of you.

[monke]

still holds up, probably the best mj cover I've ever heard 😼👍
