Stark Raving Dad - S3-E1

Trivia: When Michael Jackson did a guest spot on the show he did his speaking lines himself but when it came to singing, a Michael Jackson sound alike or impersonator stepped in and sung the lyrics to the songs. The reason was based upon his record contract, which since he is so famous probably has a lot of stipulations when he lends out his voice.
