There was a time when a record would get played on the radio, music channels etc. to the point it was already old hate by the time it hit the charts. Nowadays a record generally isn't heard by the general public until the day it's released as a single.
This record is one of the reasons for that change. Gone were the days you needed a recording studio and a record deal to get your music out there, all you needed now was an internet.
"T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)" was a record from Will.I.Am, Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger. It was unleashed on the public before being released as a single and as a result anyone who heard it in theory could cover it.
This is what Kings of Pop did, they made a cover, recorded it and released it before the original version was released as a single. At that point in time the only way you could acquire the song was via an already released cover. Of course once the original came it, this cover no longer served a purpose. The 1.5k views on YouTube in over a decade more or less proves this.
As for who Kings of Pop are/were, no idea. I tried searching the internet but found nothing about them.
