Can you turn Michael Jackson's lyrics into poetry worthy of Robert Burns?

Although he died over two years ago, Michael Jackson continues to surprise his fans. Few would have predicted the news that Jackson had recorded an entire catalogue of songs based on the poetry of Robert Burns. Recorded with the help of friend and producer David Gest, who has reportedly agreed to donate some of the songs to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, the songs were originally written for a play based on Burns's life. So while we wait to hear the result of this bizarre musical cocktail, Comment is free would like to hear its users flip the collaboration on its head: can you fashion your favourite Jacko tune into stanza that would make ol' Rabbie Burns proud? "Senga Jean she's no ma wumman"? "Blame it on the Gay Gordons"?
