Casino Queen (Michael Jackson Parody)
A parody about gambling of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean-one of his best songs before he got, well--that's not here or there--Billie Jean was a great song, this is my first parody of 2007, and one of the last for Project 2--P3 is coming
A man writing parodies just because. .singing and writing is fun

Story behind the song
Believe it or not I have never been to a real casino, closest I've been is late night addiction online, and never really lost anything. . .but I come from a family of avid and good gamblers. With my luck, if I entered a Casino this rather exaggeratory story would become a reality. I wrote it because, well, I have a love for the gambling scene despite never taking part in it. Casino Queen was the name of a huge admireable boat on the mouth of the Mississippi back home in St. Louis and my love for the skyline of Las Vegas inspired this song. I realize the image that surrounds Michael Jackson, but that is kicking a man while he is down and I won't partake in it, whatever his personal life issues are--this song was a great song back in it's day and it shouldn't be considered any less of a song now because of recent activity.
Lyrics
It was maybe 15 degrees on a New Years Eve
I pulled the lever and saw cherries, and that's how I won
as I dance, on the floor, screamed out loud
Yes, that's right I won
and I screamed, got the crowd to surround
The next day at Casino Queen
near the same scene
I placed a bet on Roulette Red 21
Stood up straight, grabbed my shirt, and prayed away
As the wheel began to slow down
I couldn't seem to move
the ball had stopped my heart
The guy who spun the wheel yeah
I couldn't help but hug
I hit that number too
I won a million boo Hey
Casino Queen became my lover
It's a great place after you turn 21
but Take care of what you've won
It's a great place for fun
but Take care of what you've won
For 80 days and for 80 nights
I tried to lie
but Who can stand giving up a chance to roll the dice
So I played, Every day, and Every night
So take my strong advice,
Just remember to not roll them twice (Don't Roll Twice)
I first dropped twenty, then fifty three
and said Hit Me
Then lost all my cash very quickly
I can't pay my fines
Cause I lost, all my cash, at Black Jack Baby
The owner came to tell me
Don't be acting like a fool
Betting all I've worked so Hard for
but He didn't try to stop me
As I traded in my shirt
I bet it on the works
I'm near naked and it hurts hey
Casino Queen is not my lover
It's just a place that got every dime that I own
Yes, I even lost my phone
Casino Queen deceived me further
It's just a place that I used to call my home
but, I lost all that I own
Then my shirt came undone
Next, I noticed my watch was gone
He He He. . .
Was why I'm so damn dumb
Where's my mortgage, lost my home
No No No
Casino Queen why do I bother
It's just a place where dreams are lost and reborn
but, I can't go there no more
I said I lost my home
but at least my pants are on
I said I lost my home
and My cellular phone
I hope this save someone
Casino Queen is not my brother
Casino Queen is not my mother
Deffinitely is not my lover
Casino Queen Is Not My Lover
