This challenge originated in the TOP SECRET SONG PARODY FACEBOOK GROUP that everybody knows about. The first one went really well, so we're going to start advertising here and on the front page so that people not in the group can participate as well. Anyone with questions can leave them here or in the comment section of the Events Page notification. Or in the comment section of one of my parodies, I'll definitely see that haha. Okay. So the main thing to know is that the parodies should appear on AmiRight on Friday, September 28th, so they should be submitted Thursday.

Ever wish you could travel back in time to the Golden Age of AmiRight? Well gas up your DeLorean, because we know exactly when lightning is gonna strike the clock tower! On Friday, September 28th, a crapload of AmiRight blasts from the pasts will all be showing up back at their old stomping grounds for JACKSON UNIVERSITY - In honor of education and school... The challenge is to parody any song by the nose-less, bleached-skinned MICHAEL JACKSON and/ or JACKSON 5 and make it about something to do with higher learning like Spelling Bees OR Show and Tell OR Sleeping with your hot middle aged professor it's really up to you. Anything is up for grabs, INCLUDING NOT FOLLOWING THE CHALLENGE PARAMETERS AT ALL.

See, the main point of the challenge is really the reunion aspect, where all these great authors pick two days a month (one near the middle and one at the end) to show up back here and resume the great camaraderie and encouragement that characterized this place back in the day. So even if you're like "Who the hell is Michael Jackson?" Or "What the hell is Home Ec" You can still write a parody about whatever the hell you want, show up, and know that there will most likely be an amazingly receptive potential audience for your work, especially provided you're one of those brilliant people who understand that Golden Rule thing. So have fun, good luck, and we'll see you there!

I think I'm gonna go with "We Are Here To Change The World" from Disney EPCOT Center's Captain EO ride

This may be the most obvious one I can do, but since somehow no-one's done it before, I'm taking this opportunity to whittle down a mashup in my list with three MJ songs in it by turning "HIStory" into, well, "History".

Sorry I had to post one day early, I was out of town for a two-day kick-off with the new job. Here's my contribution for those who missed it:
