The title, of course, is from Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. I don't know why but when I was listening to this (Goldenpond generated) riff, the phrase kept popping up in my head. Even though the two tracks have nothing to do with each other musically. (And, frankly, I'm more of a Prince man.)
Still, the phrase and this track crystallized into a "thing". So here it is.
The distorted bass is from Aleks Dolgy (https://www.fiverr.com/dolgyyy/be-your-session-rock-and-metal-bass-player#) I asked for something fairly metal. And he did a great job. But I then smothered it in distortion, and some echo and GrossBeat, so unfortunately you can't hear quite how great a job he did. This works for what I wanted though.
