figmo | Michael Jackson parody

Those of you who speculated that I'd already come up with a parody were right.

I performed it several times at Fiestacon and got laughs. Trying to moonwalk on carpeting while wearing rubber-soled shoes isn't easy.

Anyhow, for those of you who are curious...

Dumb Animal (Bubbles, Have They Told You?)
(to “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson)

He was born to be a lab chimp
A trainer thought he was a cute imp
Then he moved into a mansion
Owned by a singer -- Michael Jackson
There he learned to use a toilet,
Wear a white glove, never soil it.
He and Michael shared a bedroom
Where he threw dung from the bathroom

Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you?
Have they told you, Bubbles?
Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you?
Have they told you, Bubbles?
Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you??
Have they told you, Bubbles??
Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you?, Have they told you, Bubbles??

Bubbles, have they told you
That your Daddy isn’t OK?
It was all over Twitter
And on Facebook -- and on TV, Bubbles
Did they tell you in your ape-pen
Or did they tell you -- he’s in Heaven
People thought that he was crazy
Now he’s pushing up the daisies

Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you??
Have they told you, Bubbles??
Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you??
Have they told you, Bubbles??
Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you??
Have they told you, Bubbles??
You’re a chimp, not
You’re a chimp, not - A Dumb Animal

Paramedics in the driveway
It was Tuesday - It was midday
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Still no heartbeat -- Defibrillation

Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you??
Have they told you, Bubbles??
Bubbles, have they told you??
So, Bubbles, have they told you??
Have they told you, Bubbles??

(spoken) Okay, I want everybody to whip bananas out right now!
