Jackson 5

From the WTF? files of the Cave of Cool comes this...I don't know what to call it. Its part of our strange Michael Jackson memories. Forget that it was made at a time when prejudice against blacks was still pretty prevalent, especially on TV (the ghetto speak the boys do would be seen as racist today). Forget that the Jackson 5 have a talking pet snake named Rosie and two rats named Ray and Charles. Forget that they animated Diana Ross to lend to their street cred. Try to forget that she lives in house with a huge neon sign advertising which house is hers where the guard at her front gate charges five bucks for anyone to get into the compound (that would be like 50 dollars in 2010 money - she doesn't even have a petting zoo or carnival rides like Neverland to justify the charge). Try to forget the Freudian implications of Diana Ross autographing a snake. Just revel in this true tale of their origin and enjoy the funkified jive talking the characters do. For example:

"We gotta get that snake back before those CATS DO HIM A BAD."
"Hey one of those cars is likely to LAY ONE ON THAT CAT."



I can only find part one of this riveting story. Sorry to leave you hanging.
