You ain't bad, you nothin' (Friday WTF)

OK, so maybe there was an even more famous person who died last week. I still had to give my shout out to Ed. Anyway, I've never been a particularly big fan of Michael Jackson, but I've done tributes to less deserving people, so your Friday WTF video this week is the greatest tribute that anyone has ever given to Michael Jackson:




God bless Weird Al. If you'd like to compare and contrast, below is the original, which I'd forgotten is actually 16 minutes long. That's when a video was a video. Anyway, if you're in a hurry the relevant part starts around 7:30, and the world's least threatening street gang (okay, maybe not THE least threatening) shows up at 8:45.




BONUS VIDEO: Way, way back in 1991, Michael Jackson did one of the first (and all-time greatest) celebrity guest appearances on the Simpsons. He played a creepy white guy who sounds like Michael Jackson. It must have been a terrible stretch for him.
