Mexico City blogger Chilangabacha writes this morning about a Sonoran Norteño group, Los Picadientes del Caborca, coming up with a purely Mexican version of Michael Jackson’s classic, “Billy Jean.”

The cover was, of course, crafted as a homage to Jackson, whose memorial service took place in Los Angeles yesterday.

‘Since I couldn’t be in Los Angeles to pay my respects, this is how I will thank the man who inspired my first awkward gabacha dance moves,’ writes the former Los Angeles resident in a blog post entitled ‘Guillermo Jean.’
