I like to give a special ringtone for family and friends so I can tell right away who is calling even when I don't see the phone. My husband, Bill, is "Million Dollar Bill" by Whitney Houston. Our oldest daughter, Amanda, has the tone "Amanda" by Boston. Our youngest daughter, Rachel, is "My Girl" by the Temptations. I even gave one to our home phone, "Back Home Again" by John Denver. Our son, Jeff, went through a period where he really loved Michael Jackson so I used "Leave Me Alone" as his ringtone. I thought it was pretty amusing. Get it? Leave me alone?
I don't care what you talkin' 'bout baby
I don't care what you say
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama
I don't care anyway
Dime after dime, I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby
All is going my way
I don't care what you say
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama
I don't care anyway
Dime after dime, I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby
All is going my way
'Cause there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing baby, don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin' baby?
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing baby, don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin' baby?
So just leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around
There was a time I used to say, "Girl I need you"
But who is sorry now?
You really hurt, you used to take and deceive me
Now who is sorry now?
You got a way of making me feel so sorry
I found out right away
Don't you come walkin', beggin', I ain't lovin' you
Don't you get in my way
But who is sorry now?
You really hurt, you used to take and deceive me
Now who is sorry now?
You got a way of making me feel so sorry
I found out right away
Don't you come walkin', beggin', I ain't lovin' you
Don't you get in my way

The song is a dig at all the sensational news stories that were circulating about him at the time. According to Song Facts it took eight months to film because each part is made up of still images that had to be photographed individually.
However, as any mother knows, you don't really want your kids to leave you alone and so I changed it to a song by another one of Jeff's favorites, Phil Collins, "I Can't Dance," which actually is not true either, Jeff is a great dancer and dances around all the time. I may have to find another song for him.
Do you have different ringtones to identify your callers? Share!
Hi, Janet!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love The King of Pop, I hadn't heard that song before and never saw the video. Thanks for the introduction. I see that MJ included some footage of his friend Liz Taylor. "Leave Me Alone" reminds me of the 2007 Britney Spears hit "Piece Of Me."
I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Exta! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)
On my phone I don't have separate ringtone songs for different callers, just the barking dog for everyone. :) If I did install a musical ringtone, it would probably be "Call Me" by In This Moment.
Happy Presidents Day, dear friend Janet. (Don't forget - no mail delivery today.) And have a great week!
Hi Shady! No mail means no bills, right? That Britney Spears song is a bit like MJs. Sad to think that we are such a judgmental society. I try to keep life interesting and having the ringtones is fun for me. Have a wonderful week yourself!
