Kipp Lennon Talks About ‘The Simpsons’

February 24th, 2007

In an exclusive interview to Hall Of Fame Magazine, singer Kipp Lennon talks about a- kinda surreal - recording session he did for Fox’s tv series ‘The Simpsons’. In the famous episode Lennon played the part of Michael Jackson singing ‘Happy Birthday Lisa’ – while the real Michael Jackson stood next to him in the room silently watching.

Michael only spoke his own cartoon character’s dialogue in the show, but could not sing for the series. Kipp, a sharp vocal mimic, laughs at the surreal nature of it all - imitating the King of Pop while the King of Pop watches every move and hears every inflection. Kipp takes a bit of pride in thinking that he - “this skinny white kid” - will be “a footnote in pop culture.”
