Album: Glee: The Music, The Complete Season Three
Released: January 31, 2012
By: Michael Jackson

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' by Michael Jackson is featured in Michael , the eleventh episode of the Season Three. The song is sung by Blaine with New Directions, minus Puck and Sugar.

The song begins in the school hallways after Mercedes, Santana and Brittany complain about not being able to sing Michael Jackson with New Directions because they were apart of The Troubletones. Will then says they may perform it for Regionals, leading to Blaine to be inspired and begins to sing. They dance on through, into the school library and eventually end up in the auditorium with the rest of New Directions (minus Puck and Sugar), everyone wearing Michael Jackson costumes inspired by the singer who wore them.

Lyrics

Blaine and New Directions:
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'

Blaine (New Directions):
Too high to get over (Yeah, Yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, Yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Yeah, Yeah)

Too high to get over (Yeah, Yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, Yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Yeah, Yeah)

Blaine (New Directions):
I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever but nothing he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown!

(Aaah) Someone's always trying, (Aaah) to start my baby crying
(Aaah) Talkin', squealin', lyin'
Sayin' (With New Directions:) You just wanna be startin' somethin'

Blaine with New Directions:
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
But you got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
But you got to be startin' somethin'

Blaine (New Directions):
Too high to get over (Yeah, Yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, Yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And the pain is thunder (New Directions Girls: Na na na, Na na na na) (Yeah, Yeah)

Too high to get over (Yeah, Yeah)
You're too low to get under (Yeah, Yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, Yeah)
And the pain is thunder (New Directions Girls: Na na na, Na na na na) (Yeah, Yeah)

Blaine (New Directions):
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
Still they hate you (Still they hate you)
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
You're just a buffet (You're just a buffet)
You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)
They eat off of you (They eat off of you)
You're a vegetable, ow! (You're a vegetable) (Wee!)

Blaine and New Directions:
Lift your head up high
And scream out to the world!
I know I am someone
And let the truth unfurl!

No one can hurt you now
Because you know it's true
Yes, I believe in me
So you believe in you!

Blaine:
Help me sing it!

New Directions (Blaine):
Ma ma se, ma ma se, (Hoo, hoo!) ma ma coo sa!
Ma ma se, ma ma se, ma ma coo sa! (He, he, he!)
Ma ma se, ma ma se, ma ma coo sa! (He, he, he!)

Ma ma se, ma ma se, ma ma coo sa! (Whoo, hoo!)
Ma ma se, ma ma se, ma ma coo sa!
Ma ma se, ma ma se, ma ma coo sa!
