With apologies to Lenny Henry and Farrah "Who?" Fawcett...
When he was young
He didn’t like his face
So he moved his nose
To another place
Every day
He underwent surgery
While he sat and played
In his nursery
When he was at home
All his time was spent
In his Wendy House
...Or his oxygen tent
He lost his girl
Said "she had no use"
He never had a screw
That didn't come loose
Once bought the bones
Of the Elephant Man
Along with a llamba
He MIGHT have had a plan
He was a superstar
From another planet
He looked more like ET
Than his sister Janet
He dangled his child
Over a balcony
It made more sense
Than marrying Lisa-Marie
Faced with the media
He tried to have a lark
But he got more respect
When he was in South Park
His burning ambition
Was to be just like Peter Pan
And to live forever more
His Never Neverland!
He didn't get on with humans
His best friend was a chimpanzee
He wasn't just off his rocker
He was completely out of the tree!
HE WAS MAD! MAD! He was absolutely bonkers!
HE WAS MAD! MAD! A toad without a hole!
HE WAS MAD! MAD! There were no slates on his roof!
HE WAS MAD! MAD! A sandwich short of a picnic!
They say he was god
He just seemed right
Not male or female
Nor black nor white
He might be gone
But I will hear him again
When I suffer at Christmas
His "Frosty the Snowman"

Lol. That's my fave.

No, that was Mr Jefferson, an ENTIRELY different character.

I remember SOMEONE saying that one in Good News Week.. but I'm not sure who. Rob Quantock?

Heh, one of your parent's regulars, then?
Incidentally, wikipedia tells me that Jackson NEVER did anything to bleach his skin. The mild dispigmentating disorder vitiligo managed to give him extreeemely pale blotches and he just applied make-up so his skin would be one tone. (interestingly, not on the paler bits...?) Also, he only ever had one operation.
Reminding you why Wiki is our #1 source of credible information!

Huh? Mr. Jefferson? I was talking about the Tom's Rhinoplasty episode! What would Mr. Jefferson have to do with Whacko Jacko?

Ah yeah, that's where I nicked it from. It wasn't Quantock. It was a big old guy with grey-white hair and glasses, but it was so damn funny a line it NEEDS repeating.

Nah, every shopping centre plays that at Christmas, along with Slade, Do They Know It's Christmas, and that one that has no lyrics so I can't think of its name, it's just sleigh bell-type tune...

Be fair, that sort of lateral approach is just the sort of thing MJ would have done.
Also, he only ever had one operation.
A really, really, REALLY LONG operation. To transform himself into a Morlock!!

Few! That means those RH spoilers I genuinely accidentally read might not come true!
So to block out the pain, I've been checking out The Official Blake's 7 Magazine - did you know, it was cancelled by the BBC when they decided, over two years after "Blake", that no they weren't actually going to make another series. The mag was actually selling better than DWM at the time! But they cancelled it!
The DWM editors must have had better blackmail...

Lol. I must admit that my knowledge of SP-lore is fairly limited - only seen a dozen or so episodes.
but it was so damn funny a line it NEEDS repeating.
Yeah, well it stuck in BOTH our minds over a decade later...
Nah, every shopping centre plays that at Christmas,
..maybe it's a Syndey thing? Or are you just talking about the regular Frosty the Snowman song, rather than a mix MJ did of it?

After careful consideration, I have nothing to type but 'quoted for truth'.

I did not know that, in connection to the fact that I didn't even know the magazine existed. Cuh-razy.
Is it a GOOD magazine?

Nah, I was talking about Jefferson, which DID treat him with some respect - a nutter, but a harmless nutter.
"Be cool - I think he's a burn victim or something..."
Yeah, well it stuck in BOTH our minds over a decade later...
Creepy.

The Jackson Five version.

Ah, my favorite reply!

Better than DWm at the time and better than Torchwood magazine at the present.
Disturbingly adult considering all the ads for sweets, digital watches and Atari playboards...
