Groening received a call late at night from the singer, but initially thought it was a prank and so hung up.。
"He has the voice of someone doing a Michael Jackson bit," Groening said. Turns out of course, it was Jackson, and that he loved Bart and wanted to appear. 。
"He did the show, he didn't want credit for it -- it was some kind of deal with his record company or whatever," Groening added. 。
"So when it came time to sing the songs, he had a soundalike singer. And he stood there and watched the guy who was so nervous, who had to sound like Michael Jackson." 。
That singer, by the way, turned out to be a guitarist by the name of Kipp Lennon, who reprised "Happy Birthday Lisa" back in 2014 at the Hollywood Bowl. 。
