Singsong from the Grave

So they found an unreleased song from back when Michael Jackson was black and now it’s all I’m hearing on the radio.

The tune’s alright, I suppose. Kind of average. But finding an old song of MJ’s is like discovering Jesus’s journal. Just think how many updated copies of the Bible they’d sell.

I wonder if the music video will be old clips of MJ or if they also found a tape of undiscovered home movies. We’ll be treated to Jacko turning burgers on the barbeque, unwrapping a pair of socks under the Christmas tree. Maybe there’s one of his pet monkey Bubbles biting his finger. That’s sure to get £250 on You’ve Been Framed.

You just know they’re gonna milk it for every last dollar. Flog that dead horse. Yeeha!

His nephews have even jumped on the gravy train.

In case you don’t remember, he had three nephews - his favourites according to them - who called themselves 3T. They had one song that only got airplay coz Mike sang along with them. And if I remember correctly: It was shit.

But now they’re back! For real. I saw them on Celebrity Juice and everything. It was like Alvin and the Chipmunks reached puberty. And then got wrinkly. But didn’t ever change their hairstyles. I haven’t heard their new song yet but I’m betting they’ve got MJ in the background somewhere. Just to be safe.

The thing is, if MJ’s old new song wasn’t good enough to be released in the 80s then what makes anyone think it’s half decent now? He’s probably moonwalking in his grave.

I say let the guy rest in peace.

Don’t make our last memories of him be some mediocre B-side track that he figured no one would want to hear back in the day.

It’s disrespectful.
