History
Bart showed one of his albums, "Thriller", to Leon Kompowsky.[1]
He was seen in the Springfield Squidport along with dolls strapped together by wooden poles. Michael Jackson felt sad for Bart and gave him some money. Homer had difficulty in telling which was the real person.[2] A dance by Homer and Barney as children inspired Michael to do the zombie dance.[3]
A look-a-like of him appears singing "Springfield Blows", along with Tommy Lee Jones.[4]
