Beat It is a 1982 rock song written and performed by Michael Jackson. It is heard on MWC in the Season 8 episode, "Hood 'n the Boyz" in an instrumental version.
Appearance on Married... with Children[]
After getting beaten up by a street punk named Ray-Ray and his crew, (as well as being forced in having sex with Peggy), Al decides to make odds a little more favorable and calls up his fellow Polk High Panthers to settle the score.
The song plays as Al leads his crew (consisting of old, out of shape men wearing their football jerseys) into battle with Ray-Ray. Though Al's plans go south almost immediately, as Ray-Ray calls up more people within mere seconds and Al's friends drive off without him, leading him to ask Ray-Ray "C-C-Can't we all just get along?".
Trivia[]
- The scene in which the song is heard parodies the music video for "Beat It", in which two rivals gangs get into a knife fight and dance off before Michael Jackson arrives and shows them that violence doesn't solve anything.
Lyrics[]
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't want to see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man
You want to be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you want to be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't want to be a boy, you want to be a man
You want to stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you want to be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
