The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, apparently wanted you to really know that it was him when he was signing a contract.
Aside from the amazing music that he made, Michael Jackson was known for doing a lot of things in a big way. He had a big house that had a big amusement park to go along with it, for example.
However, another thing that he did big, apparently, was sign his name. We have definitive proof of this now, thanks to another legend in the music industry, Weird Al Yankovic.
If you’ll remember back in the late 80s and early 90s, Jackson had no problem with letting Yankovic parody his songs, unlike some other uptight artists. But before Yankovic could complete his version, he needed Jackson to sign off on it.
Well recently Yankovic found a copy of the contract that Jackson signed for “Eat It,” and it looks like Michael tried to scribble out the print on the paper with his name.
Now most people, especially celebrities, like to go out of their way to make their signature unique, so it’s harder to replicate. Well if that was the intention of Jackson, he succeeded in a pretty big way.
For amusement purposes, now, watch the masterpiece that came from the contract seen above:
