My tribute to the King of Pop

  I miss MJ as much as anybody.

Update:  Weird Al fixed many Jacksonian lyrics.  It's a simple truth that most of Yankovics parodies at least make sense.

  Contrast this:
                            Your butt is wide well mine is too.
                           Better watch your mouth or I'll sit on you.
                            The word is out better treat me right.
                            Cause I'm the King of cellulite.

  with this drivel:
                                Beat it, beat it,
                                No one wants to be defeated.
                                Show them how funky strong is your fight
                                It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right
                                Just beat it.

  Believe me Mike, nobody EVER thought that Billie Jean was your lover.  Maybe it was the dance numbers with the astoundingly accessorized gang members in your videos that gave it away.  You had more chemistry with lit up paving stones than any video chick.

  So, Michael has paid the ferryman while the rest of us contemplate the descent into Obamian darkness.  At least he will be spared that.

  And we still have Al among us.

Update:  Michael pre-moonwalk, when he was still black.  If you can sit still for this one, pay the ferryman.
