Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ Reimagined as a Rage Against the Machine Song

Multi-instrumentalist Otu from Moonic Productions performed a lively reimagining of Michael Jackson’s classic “Beat It” in the distinctive vocal and musical style of Rage Against the Machine, especially their song “Killing in the Name”. This pairing worked surprisingly well, particularly with Otu’s amazing ability to imitate singers.

This is what Michael Jackson – Beat It would sound like if Rage Against The Machine made a cover of it.

Fittingly, the original “Beat It” already had plenty of rock cred, thanks to a blistering guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen.
