Fun Fact. The band recorded this without any intention of releasing it publicly because of copyright. Someone in their camp, their manager sent the copy of their recorded song to MJ’s manager. He(MJ)listened to it, he loved it, and he allowed them to release it, which is how this song is now available.

This drummer absolutely killed it. He’s beating those drums like they owe him money

The late 90s early 2000s was a very unique time in music, a lot of musicians, pop stars, rockers and rappers were crossing lines, covering songs of different genres and everybody was having a good time

And so many different genres were getting radio play, great time to be alive as a music lover

From the perspective of the Aliens, we are like ants. So Earth is an Alien Ant Farm.

And that, Ladies and Gentleman, is how you properly cover a song in your own style while remaining  faithful to the original.

Certified banger. And as others have said, Michael Jackson actually really liked this cover. Michael's family invited them to play at a tribute concert for him after he passed.

Alien Ant Farm is a description of Earth.
If Aliens ruled the galaxy, the Earth would be something they could view the way we view an ant farm.

This was a huge deal back in the day. One of the better Michael Jackson covers tbr

Song starts @3:35

The little boy dancing was fire!! Damn that kid got swag.

My fav part about their cover is they really did it verbatim but just in their style and instrumentation. If you are going to cover a masterpiece THAT'S how you do it!

The bassist's backing vocals are so sick in this.

This has got to be one of the greatest covers ever made.  Takes it to a completely new place while staying respectful to the original.  Brilliant.

Fun Fact 2:  The drummer and bass player used that song to warm up.

They're called Alien Ant Farm because they view the world as an Alien Ant Farm and we're just the ants, and something greater than us is the human taken care of it so to speak it's another way of saying that we are all the same just working like ants in a farm without a way to escape

Glad ya'll liked this. It was epic when it came out and it was an epic hommage to the King of Pop
RIP Michael 💔

The whole video is an absolute tribute to Michael I see something new every time I watch it.

This is literally one of the greatest covers ever.

I'm 35 and I still play this song often anyone here in 2024 still jamming

I love how you reacted to the boy and and how you cheered  him x)
