From SNL producer Lorne Michael's short-lived The New Show in 1982, here's Steve Martin (and SCTV's Dave Thomas) with a truly hilarious take on "Billie Jean."
A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the reader who first divines the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Listomania.

Can't hear it, due to IT fuck-up at work, so I have no idea (best song parody seems too obvious) ... but Steve Martin is tres funny, even when you don't know what he is singing ...
BG:
It's the actual Michael Jackson track....
Wide stance, toe tapping, scandal... nothing comes to mind.
How about truly obscure bands which feature legendary performers?
Best moves on stage!
Top Pop/Rock Singles of the '80's?
White singer with no rhythm covers extremely soulful black artist?

Which artist did Michael Jackson cover?
ducking...
No, no, no, no and no.
sorry -- can't think of a hint that wouldn't totally give it away....

Man, I remember that show. I probably saw all 13 episodes. As I recall, the Pretenders were on once doing 2000 Miles.
Best comedy music performances.
If it's for most dead-on or cleverest music parody, you have to give it up right now to Weird Al for "Bob."
But Steve always says "it's the performance" (or something like that), so I'm going to say "Strangest or Most Colorful Interpretation of a Pop Song."
