"MTG Has Broken Cover" - Marsh Family parody of "Billie Jean" by MJ about Marjorie Taylor Greene

The song Billy Jean was a fictional narrative about a woman who makes false claims and goes from desirable to undesirable. Released in 1983, it was the second single from the fantastic album “Thriller” and became Jackson’s best selling solo single. Lots of his lyrics address paranoia and distrust, but it was the fit of the protagonist’s name in the chorus that really clinched an idea for us to take on this classic pop-disco track.

We’ve twisted the words around the story of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and how one of the vocal “Big Beasts” of Trump’s support base has now rancorously broken with him. You can find news about the topic here (from the wobbling coverage of the BBC): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwywjz202r7o.amp.

We’re dedicating this song to Larry Jensen who generously supported our debut album release with the “parody parachute” reward on Kickstarter.

LYRICS:

She was sort of a MAGA queen - and she made a scene Obsessed with finding conspiracies, liked her QAnon Any stance, she could sure double down! She defied everyone Took her chance, getting more media rounds Her parents had named her “Marjorie” - which was kind of mean Maybe it led her to try to dream of ownin’ a gun That’s her answer to all that goes wrong!

She wrote lots of stories ‘bout shootings in the schools Went around spreading junk and hurt (hee-hee) And then in 2016, she chased the moon for Trump But be careful what you do (oh-oh) ‘Cause the tide could turn on you (oh-oh, hey-ey) [or keep original: ‘Cause the lie becomes the truth]

Taylor Greene has broken cover! She’s just the first of many Republicans Wish they did not vote for Trump She said he was “the one” But her confidence has gone

On Trump’s campaigns and on Party nights, she was by his side She played her hand and had few demands Her screams and rants Brought him fans from bizarre stomping grounds But it came at a price Just a tool in a fool’s paradise! (Do think twice) do think twice (ah-hoo) She wasn’t happy with policy - and got crotchety She goaded him about all his lyin’ - then just resigned (oh, no) Took a stand, final straw, honour-bound (ooh, hee-hee-hee)

She’s no quiet piggy … she dared to have a feud She went to town on his Epstein farce He can say that she is wacky Just a traitor he’ll deplume It’s happened much too soon Has he lost the locker room?!

MTG has broken cover! She found the world insane inside Washington But don’t kid yourself she’s done No-no-no (hoo) MTG’s now under cover She’ll just return, repainted, firing her guns So expect more hit and runs Has the blowback begun? Well, the mid-terms might be fun!
