MJ Video Weekend III




Before "The Simpsons" was stomping grounds for celebrities dying to seem with the times, Michael Jackson was a fan.

As the story goes, Jackson reached out on the condition his guest storyline involve a scene wherein he and Bart stay up all night writing music. He went along with the offbeat idea of voicing a mental patient who claimed to be the King of Pop, removed his name from the credits (appearing as "John Jay Smith"), wrote a beautiful song for Lisa Simpson, decided to have an impersonator track said song's vocals.

The tense, tumultuous project netted one of the signature moments in "Simpsons" folklore.

MJ had a good reason for not laying down his own vocals. He had an impersonator perform the vocals to play a trick on his brothers--he wanted to fool them into thinking the impersonator was him.
