Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (pronunciation: /ˈjæŋkəvɪk/; born October 23, 1959) is an American singer-songwriter, music producer, accordionist, actor, comedian, writer, satirist, and parodist. Yankovic is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and that often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts. Since his first-aired comedy song in 1976, he has sold more than 12 million albums (as of 2007), recorded more than 150 parody and original songs, and has performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him three Grammy Awards among nine nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States. Yankovic's first top ten Billboard album (Straight Outta Lynwood) and single ("White & Nerdy") were both released in 2006, nearly three decades into his career.
Yankovic's success comes in part from his effective use of music video to further parody popular culture, the song's original artist, and the original music videos themselves, scene-for-scene in some cases. He directed later videos himself and went on to direct for other artists including Ben Folds, Hanson, Black Crowes, and The Presidents of the United States of America. In addition to recording his albums, Yankovic wrote and starred in the film, UHF, and television show, The Weird Al Show. He has also made guest appearances on many television shows, in addition to starring in Al TV specials on MTV.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.

Porque eu tenho um emprego
Sou o dito cidadão respeitável
E ganho quatro mil cruzeiros por mês
Eu devia agradecer ao Senhor
Por ter tido sucesso na vida como artista
Eu devia estar feliz porque
Consegui comprar um Corcel 73
Eu devia estar alegre e satisfeito
Por morar em Ipanema
Depois de ter passado fome por dois anos
Aqui na Cidade Maravilhosa
Eu devia estar sorrindo e orgulhoso
Por ter finalmente vencido na vida
Mas eu acho isto uma grande piada
E um tanto quanto perigosa
Eu devia estar contente
Por ter conseguido tudo que eu quis
Mas confesso abestalhado
Que eu estou decepcionado
Porque não foi fácil conseguir
E agora eu me pergunto: E daí?
E tenho uma porção de coisas grandes
Prá conquistar, eu não posso ficar aí parado
Eu devia estar feliz pelo Senhor
Ter me concedido o domingo
Prá ir com a família ao jardim zoológico
Dar pipoca aos macacos
Ah, mas que sujeito chato sou eu
Que não acha nada engraçado
Macaco, praia, carro, jornal, tobogã
Eu acho tudo isso um saco
É você olhar no espelho
Se sentir um grandessíssimo idiota
Saber que é humano, ridículo
Limitado, e que só usa dez por cento de sua cabeça-animal
E você ainda acredita que é um doutor
Padre ou policial
E que está contribuindo com sua parte
Para o nosso belo quadro social
Eu é que não me sento
No trono de um apartamento
Com a boca escancarada
Cheia de dentes, esperando a morte chegar
Porque longe das cercas embandeiradas
que separam quintais
No cume calmo do meu olho que vê
Assenta a sombra sonora
Dum disco voador
