ok, ive played this at an 18th, wedding...
Im doing a School Party tomorrow, 11 and 12 year olds... all the years ive been there, i have been asked, before playing, to avoid tracks with explicit content or inapropriate suggestions....
I know this sounds stupid, but do you think it is ok to play this track, as Michael Jackson Did the original, and with all the business, about him being a kiddie fiddler..etc, im concerned that it may be unapropriate.. what do you think?

ok, cheers for that.....
And the school im working at, i know from past jobs there, the parents seem to take in all the lyrics... thank god so many tracks these days are sang too fast, or too much slang, the parents cant understand them!

Yes...
1) Micheal Jackson was cleared of all counts...
2) Micheal Jackson didn't do the original of Somebody's watching me... it was Rockwell
(at least it was his name that got the main credits for the track). In the meantime, lets gets back to not playing any records by group "Oceanic" as its an anagram of a hard drug. (A music restriction that a venue placed on me back in the Acid House days...
)
Its sutable for the top 40 and day time play on radio 1 then its ok for a bunch of kids
And like Gary says... its not Mr Jacksons song anyway
And like Gary says... its not Mr Jacksons song anyway
I played it a little while ago for a school kids party and it went down a storm with no remrks from the staff at all. They will love it.
As Gary said Micheal Jackson has been cleared so any MJ tune it tops... Im a big fan of MJ, especially his older stuff. I actually went to his bad tour at Aintree and it was awsome.
Jacko did however sing the bit that was sampled by Beafreakz
Useless info time, Rockwell is Berry Gordy's son

I've had to do an edit to Lily Allen - Smile to make it playable to the mass audiences, as have the Beeb [et al] if you listen to their radio versions.
But it happens to lots of songs.
I won't even mention Eamon's - **** it, I don't want you back
Oh crap, I just did
and even songs like The Street's - Dry Your Eyes, needed an edit in the middle
