MANILA, Philippines – You’ve probably heard various covers of the King of Pop’s classic hit “Billie Jean.” But this is one instrumental cover done in a creative and fun way.

The group known as the Bottle Boys jam with — you guessed it — bottles to create this fun version of Michael Jackson’s hit song. Performed with a new technique they dubbed “double bottle playing,” this video shows what happens when you pair a good song with some serious improvisational music skills.

The boys, who hail from Denmark, have made waves in the music scene with their inventive covers of songs ranging from techno beats to well-loved Disney tunes. Ever wondered if “Under the Sea” can be played with beer bottles? These boys certainly deliver.

Get started on their musical videos with the Billie Jean cover below.
