This is so weird! I was searching the Congressional record this morning and ran across the strangest transcript from 1988. This is actually Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye testifying before the Senate. I never heard about this! It definitely gives you some insight into their personalities.

CHAIRMAN: The Committee on Foreign Affairs will come to order. The Committee is meeting today to hear testimony on the report by the President's National Commission on Economic Development in Third-World Nations.

We have two guests today who would like to make statements, and I am very pleased that they are here. They are spending all day on the Hill, and I would like to formally welcome them. With that, I present to you Mr. Marvin Gaye and Mr. Michael Jackson.

GAYE: Thank you Chairman Hastings and members of the Committee. We respectfully submit that we need to save the world.

JACKSON: That's right. We need to save the world.

GAYE: We need to save the world, and save the children.

JACKSON: Yes, save the world and the children.

GAYE: And the babies. We need to save the babies.

JACKSON: Yes, we need to save the world, and the children, and the babies.

GAYE: And the animals and the birds.

JACKSON: Okay.

GAYE: Right on.

JACKSON: We love you all.

CHAIRMAN: I want to thank all of the Members for being here, and especially our two guests. If there is no further business, this hearing stands adjourned.

[Whereupon, at 5:16 p.m., the Committee was adjourned.]
