'Simpsons' Bombshell -- The TRUTH About MJ Song!!!

6/27/2011 10:16 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson hand-picked an MJ voice impersonator to sing the famous "Happy Birthday Lisa" song featured on "The Simpsons" back in 1991 ... this according to Lisa herself, Yeardley Smith.

Smith was outside the Red O restaurant in L.A. this weekend, when she explained, "[Michael] was not allowed to sing on the show, so he literally hand-picked a guy to sing like him."

During the famous episode, "Stark Raving Dad," Michael provided the voice to a mental patient who thought he was MJ ... but according to reports, Jackson's record label blocked MJ from singing the Lisa birthday song.

MJ ultimately selected a man named Kipp Lennon -- and Yeardley explains, "How unnerving would it be to sing like Michael Jackson in front of Michael Jackson?"

We called Kipp to find out -- so far, no response.

I didn't realize Jacko was such a slave to his record company.

If only they had asked him to stop sleeping with little boys.

But... he's innocent.

He was not a kiddie diddler. He just liked to play since he missed his childhood. He was good at sharing and let all the other little boys have some jesus juice while they played Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

I just thought perhaps you wanted to repeat yourself again...

**twitchy2.0** · June 29th, 2011, 11:52 AM

I didn't repeat myself though.

Chilly Willy · June 29th, 2011, 11:53 AM

She corrected herself. Tsk.

**twitchy2.0** · June 29th, 2011, 11:57 AM

Yes. To reflect his "innocence".

On a non-Michael note, my neighbor met a family yesterday whose three kids are named....Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. For reals.
