“Why not just tell people I’m an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They’ll believe anything you say, because you’re a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, ‘I’m an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,’ people would say, ‘Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He’s cracked up. You can’t believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth”

This is a song I wrote over a period of about a week in early 2006.  I was thinking about writing a song that made people want to dance.  I had the music done on the first day and then it took a few days to come up with the lyrics.  It was during a time when I was trying out a new diet, so I was not drinking beer.  Instead I decided to mix whiskey with green tea.  I often felt like kicking my leg up in the air after drinking a few glasses.
