Michael Jackson Helped Weird Al

When American singer Michael Jackson granted "Weird Al" Yankovic permission to make "Fat," a parody of "Bad," he gave him more than approval. Jackson also allowed Yankovic to use the same set built for his own "Badder" video from the film "Moonwalker." Yankovic later said Jackson’s support helped him gain approval from other artists he wanted to parody.
