Michael Jackson did voice a character on The Simpsons, but that wasn’t his voice singing the famous “Happy Birthday Lisa” song.

Michael Jackson was the guest star on the show’s “Stark Raving Dad”, aired in 1991. He voiced Leon Kompowsky, a mental patient who claimed to be Michael Jackson himself.  Michael Jackson Did Not Sing on The SimpsonsPhoto Flashback: Michael Jackson

Due to contractual reasons, the King of Pop was blocked by his record company, Sony, from singing in the show, NME.com reports. Still, Michael wrote the lyrics to “Happy Birthday Lisa”, a birthday homage to Lisa from her brother Bart.

Instead, it was Kipp Lennon, a Jackson impersonator, who sang the birthday song. Lennon also voiced the popstar in the TV series The Jacksons: An American Dream.

Here’s a clip of “Happy Birthday Lisa”:
