John Gilmer

I day or so after the Michael Jackson verdict we saw the rerun of the episode where Homer ends up in the nut house with a FAT guy who says he is Michael Jackson.

The "voice" in the credits was something like John Jay Smith.

I "heard" that Jackson really did play himself (at least when the voice "sounded" like the "real" MJ.)

Is that true?

Is there a "source" for this information?

You wouldn't believe the celebrities who did cameos! Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson. Of course, they didn't use their real names, but you could tell it was them.

It's long since been confirmed. "Planet Simpson" being the most recent published source. This book also details that the voice work was MJ, but the song, "Happy Birthday Lisa," for some odd trademark/royalties reason, was done by an impersonator. John Smith was the obviously pseudo name.

Mentioned on the DVD commentary tracks, too. I believe someone (forget who) on the commentaries says MJ didn't sing the song because it was "too expensive."

Not too surprising when you consider Michael didn't sing it. (It is on "Songs in the Key of Springfield", however.)

Happy Birthday Bart. Bet your parents don't let you drink wine at home or watch porno.

This Coke will taste a little different than your used to.

My Mom's gonna freak but Homer will just want the money.

The impersonator was Kipp Lennon, who also sang "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" in "Duffless."

Also, there's no such thing as a soul. It's just something they made up to scare kids, like the Boogeyman, or Michael Jackson.

Perverted Michael Jackson refused to be on the show when he found out Bart wasn't actually a little boy.
