The Simpsons – Happy Birthday Lisa
This track featured on the Simpsons album, Songs In The Key Of Springfield, issued in 1997.
It was first featured in The Simpsons episode titled "Stark Raving Dad", in which Michael guested.
For many years mystery surrounded Michael’s involvement with the song, however, the album’s sleeve credited copyright ownership of the song to Mijac Music – Michael’s publishing company, which registered the song with the United States Copyright Office in September 1991.
It has been confirmed Michael – under the pseudonym John Jay Smith – voiced his character, but The Simpsons’ version of "Happy Birthday Lisa" was sung by sound-a-like, Kipp Lennon – a member of the band, Venice. Michael was present when Lennon recorded his vocal: "This is kind of weird," said, Lennon at the time, "he’s right next to me and I have to do him in front of everyone, on command!"
Michael’s version was included on the first acetate version of the special, expanded edition of his album, Dangerous – the bonus disc was subsequently canceled.

Happy Birthday Lisa – Lyrics
Lisa, it’s your birthday.
God bless you this day.
You gave me the gift of a little sister,
And I’m proud of you today.
Lisa, it’s your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Lisa, it’s your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
I wish you love and good will.
I wish you peace and joy.
I wish you better than your heart desires.
And your first kiss from a boy.
Lisa, it’s your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Lisa, it’s your birthday.
Happy birthday, Lisa.
Yeah!
