YouTube – Michael Jackson – Lisa It’s Your Birthday (Authentic).

Impulse idea:

I know everyone hates that awkward moment when you know you can’t carry a note but still gotta sing the birthday song to make somebody’s day. It sucks but you know you gotta do it. Anyways, after you sing the original version, and then after somebody who can actually carry a note starts going into the Stevie version with the soul clap, we should just go ahead and add the Michael Jackson version from the Simpsons to the mix (Reserve the 50 Cent version for the club later that night). Just replace “Lisa” with the Birthday Boy/Girl’s name, and repeat the hook until it gets tired (Approx. 4x). I think it’s pretty simple. Maybe i’m asking for too much? Mmmm…probably.

Here’s the recorded version that Michael Sang and here’s the show’s version that they aired on The Simpsons with an MJ replacement singer. Mike’s label wouldn’t let them use his recorded singing voice for the show although he did do all the speaking parts. Must have been a really weird contract. I personally like the beat from the Simpsons version better. Bart was killing it on the trash can conga!

There Really Is No Secret.

I freaking love this show! I can watch it any day, any time, any episode. I watched the entire first 3 seasons on Hulu in a few weeks last year. Anyways, it’s returning this September with all new episodes. Looking forward to it…

I haven’t even seen the second one but I definitely found it a little odd that in the first one, the ‘Black’ Transformer (who’s name i’m forgetting — another issue) died for the cause and no one really gave a crap. Bumble Bee got injured and the whole world stopped. In this new one the two ‘Black’ transformers seem illiterate and one of them has a gold tooth. Stuff like this is pretty hilarious to me. It’s not worth all of the fuss most of the time. I think idiotic stuff like this makes Michael Bay look far more stupid than it does us Black folks. Anyways, since they apparently upped the ante in the second one the guys who produced the characters can’t and don’t deny that it’s a little racially insensitive — good thing it wasn’t their idea…
