VIDEO: Lionel Richie Discusses Iconic WE ARE THE WORLD & Michael Jackson on CBS' THE TALK
Lionel Richie visits 'The Talk' and reveals a 'wild' tale about writing 'We Are The World' with Michael Jackson at his house. 'Michael loved to collect animal and reptiles.... so right in the middle of writing this song. We were eating downstairs and there was this dog barking and we heard... 'shut up, shut up' so I said 'What's going on, Michael?' And he said, 'That's the bird having an argument with the dog.' Now it gets worse,' recalls Richie. 'I'm lying on the floor working on the lyrics to 'We Are The World' and I hear 'hssss'....'hssss' and I'm looking at Michael and all of a sudden I'm looking out the corner of my eye and the albums on the wall are falling down....and there's an albino python. And he goes, 'There he is Lionel, we found him, we found him. We knew he was in the room somewhere, Lionel. He wants to come out and play with you'...I was screaming like the last woman in a horror movie. I was screaming so loud.'
