Hear that sound? It’s the King Of Pop letting out an “Eeeee-Heeeeeee” shriek from the great beyond following the release of rap trio Das Racist’s “Michael Jackson” video.

Hear that sound? It’s the King Of Pop letting out an “Eeeee-Heeeeeee” shriek from the great beyond following the release of rap trio Das Racist’s “Michael Jackson” video. In the completely off the wall (ahem) clip, a Jackson impersonator twirls around as the members of Das Racist sneer while delivering the chorus “Michael Jackson, a million dollars! You feel me? Holla!” Eventually they all get shirtless and re-enact the “Black Or White” video. Try to keep from sha-moaning.

We’ll go out on a limb and assume that Das Racist have yet to receive an invite to that upcoming Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert gig.

The plot of the song is simple: The two dudes who comprise the Brooklyn hip-hop duo Das Racist are trying to find each other in one of those slightly horrifying hybrid fast-food joints that Yum! Brands--the company responsible for bringing KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's, and A & W to this country's blighted thoroughfares and food courts--have crafted in a response to ever-rising real estate costs, or wanting to flood the zone with different types of bad-for-you combinations of cheese and tomatoes, or (more likely) both. "Combination" is the sort of deceptively idiotic song that will either inspire repeated listenings or you throwing whatever is playing the music across the room; the Pitchfork-kudosed remix by Wallpaper, which turns the song into something that could very easily be called "Daft Punk Is Playing At My Fast-Food Place," is after the jump.
