Commemorate the death of Michael Jackson with "The King of Pop’s Top 10 Text Message-Ready Lyrics" for some reason

As the nation prepares to mark Friday’s one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death by taking in 24 hours of Jackson-related programming—including a 20/20 interview with his make-up artists and stylists, the MTV special Michael Jackson’s Influence On Music, which will finally give America a chance to find out whether Usher thought Michael Jackson was talented, the answer-to-a-question-no-one-is-asking TV Guide Network special Michael Jackson’s Entourage: Where Are They Now?, and VH1’s landmark 1,000th airing of The Jacksons: An American Dream—many of you may be wondering, “How can I best convey my respect for Michael Jackson in text message form?” Yes, many of you are wondering that. It's a perfectly natural stage in the healing process.

Fortunately Predicto Mobile (a “leading mobile entertainment company,” as if you needed to tell us that!), has just sent us a press release containing “The King of Pop’s Top 10 Text Message-Ready Lyrics,” which are “certain to get recipients humming along in 140 characters or less.” Copy and paste them somewhere safe, so come Friday you can confuse somebody special, or just post them to Twitter, where all outpourings of grief resonate the loudest, no matter how inane or poorly articulated. #kingofpop #gonetoosoon #emotionallyconflicted  #notsurewhatI’msupposedtobeexpressinghere(x2)
