Hi @philipsaw86, welcome to the site!

By the sounds of it you should submit it as a cover of Billie Jean, and two vocal interpolations, of Nega Maluca and Eleanor Rigby (since only a small portion of those is used). Although it's not ideal, you can go with the live recording of this as long as it was indeed released as a studio version that is arranged in a similar way. Thanks for contributing!

@Spinks: This Caetano Veloso's piece consists of three covers: Nega Maluca (brazilian) as intro, Billie Jean, and Beatles Eleanor Rigby chorus as an outro:

There's a studio version I'd like to upload, how should I do it? I guess that as 3 covers, but maybe is just 1 MJ cover and a Beatles "sample" or lyrics sample?

Thanks, I'm new here, got a lot to learn!

I heard this on my phone right after Michael died and fell in love with it!

We have quite a few covers of Billie Jean listed on the site already but I keep on coming back to this one, I think Chris Cornell's delivery works really well
