replies: text: We try to catch these things, but so many IPs add so much crap to the episode pages that one loses track. Some of these older episodes have ridiculous cultural references that make the silliest of connections. My favourite is one that said Bart of Darkness was based on Disturbia. -- Scorpion0422 03:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It should be mentioned that The Simpson's appeared at the end of Michael Jackson's Black or White music video. Since the music video and this episode debuted very close to one another...maybe there was a contractual agreement that the Simpson's would appear in BoW if Jackson appeared in an episode. — Realist2 23:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Idea 

message: The article states that the actor is Michael Jackson. It explains why he wasn't credited, but I can't find any sources for this info. I put a CN and it was removed, with the explanation that it is explained - am I missing something? Luminifer (talk) 16:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's quite simple. Kipp Lennon voiced Leon Kompowsky when he sang. Hank Azaria voiced him at the end when the character explained that he was actually a builder only pretending to be Michael Jackson. Every other line he speaks in the episode was performed by Michael Jackson. As for Luminifer's question, all of the information is reliably sourced to the DVD commentary and other articles which you can find at the bottom of the page in the "References" section.

message: This episode is being reaired on Fox tonight (Sunday, July 05, 2009) to pay tribute to Michael Jackson's death. Worth a mention in the main article.

message: Is Bart's song "Lisa, her teeth are big and green. Lisa, she smells like gas-o-line." a reference to the theme song of "The Bride on the River Kwai"? It could be added under "Cultural References" 142.167.184.6 (talk) 01:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's to the tune of "Colonel Bogey March", a song made famous in Bridge on the River Kwai. I'd add it, but I can't find a reliable source for it. -- Scorpion0422 18:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I know Michael Jackson said his use of an impersonator to sing his lines was to fool his brothers, but I'm pretty sure the real reason is because of his record contract, which would have limited the circumstances under which he could sing commercially. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 00:43, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not disagreeing with you. But, there isn't a source that says this. -- Scorpion0422 01:31, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  MJ not singing 

message: Why no mention of the plot's two principal conceits? And whether MJ was hip to them, or they sailed straight over his head? To wit,
1. Michael Jackson was in fact a black man pretending to be a white man (hence the conceit of Leon Kompowsky seeking the "reverse"), and
2. Michael Jackson was in fact severely deluded with respect to his own identity (as is Leon Kompowsky).

message: We all may be aware that a reprise of Lisa's birthday song "Happy Birthday Lisa" plays during the credits instead of the show's usual closing theme. Is there any way this fact can be acknowledged in the plot section, or would it exceed the 700 word rule? Sstanford2 (talk) 03:14, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
