這首歌是Michael Jackson在勸好逞強鬥狠的朋友
別惹是生非的歌。
曲中Michael苦口婆心,分析雙方實力,要朋友閃人(Beat it)
但是朋友似乎毫不為所動,一心只想當個耍狠(be bad)。
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
每個人都要展現他們多會打架,他們的招式有多麼奇特,沒有人想被擊敗 。
(funky 時髦、特異)
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真實或挑戰
(一種強迫說實話或是做一些平時不敢做的事的遊戲)
They'll kill you, then they beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
(Repeat*)
第二首歌是'Weird Al' Yankovic嘲諷Michael Jackson的"Beat It"所作的歌曲。
Yankovich將原本是關於黑道幫派惡鬥的情景改寫為父母親對於不吃飯的小孩的教訓,
歌詞的口吻是父母親對小孩半威脅的口吻。
How come you're always such a fussy愛鬧的 young man
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no desert till you clean off your plate
So eat it
Don't tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it拿個蛋來打蛋花
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Your table manners are a crying shame
Your playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now if you starve to death you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it
You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole焗鮪魚(casserole 是烤鍋)
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it
I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more Spam罐頭肉(原是罐頭的著名商標)
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it
If it's getting cold reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it,you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
