This song music made me think of Robbie Krieger and Dust Bunny Queen in the same breath. Who can tell me why?

I first heard these guys at my very first job in Madison. There was a submarine sandwich shop out of Milwaukee called Suburpia on University Ave. The manager used to play this album on a cassette loop. That was perfect music for making sandwiches on demand.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Via Wikipedia: "Billie Jean" is a song by American singer Michael Jackson. It is the second single from the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). It was written and composed by Jackson and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. There are contradictory claims on the meaning of the song's lyrics. One suggests that they are derived from a real-life experience, in which a female fan claimed that Jackson (or one of his brothers) had fathered her twins. However, Michael Jackson stated that "Billie Jean" was based on groupies he had encountered. The song is well known for its distinctive bassline played by Louis Johnson, the standard drum beat heard in the beginning, the repetition of "Billie Jean is not my lover" towards the end of the song and Michael Jackson's vocal hiccups. The song was mixed 91 times by audio engineer Bruce Swedien before it was finalized, though he reportedly went with the second mix as the final product.
The song became a success; it was one of the best-selling singles of 1983 and is one of the best-selling singles worldwide. The song topped both the US and UK charts simultaneously. It also topped the charts of Switzerland and reached the top ten in Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. "Billie Jean" was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1989. Rolling Stone magazine placed the song in the 58th spot on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

I think that's a lovely song and video. But ugh, the original Truffaut film looks just dreadful. The storyline, at least. I've never seen Jules et Jim but after reading about it, I'm sure that I don't want to. Plus it's Stephen Hawking's all time favorite film. Double ugh.
