Answer: Moe's and the Kwik-E-Mart

When Homer learns that Bart damaged property belonging to a nice old woman, Homer makes Bart work off his debt. The place turns out to be a burlesque house called the Maison Derriere. When Marge finds out, she asks the lady to leave town. When she doesn't Marge informs the townspeople about it at the town meeting and convinces them to destroy it.

Then Homer starts a song convincing them not to tear it down. What he sings is "You could tear down Moe's or the Kwik-E-Mart and nobody would care. But the heart and soul of Springfield's in our Maison Derriere." This is ironic because usually Moe's and the Kwik-E-Mart are Homer's two favorite places. Anyway, the song convinces everyone to not destroy the house, except Marge who wasn't around to hear it because she rented a bulldozer. Marge sings a verse of her own song, trying to re-convince the people to destroy the place.

While she's singing, she accidentally turns on her bulldozer which damages a whole wall of the house. Marge is then forced to work off her debt by working at the place as a ventriloquist.

Kompowsky told Bart to keep it a secret, but he didn't, so the whole town was outside the Simpson house to see Michael Jackson. When they saw that it wasn't him, they left and Bart became the most hated person in town. To redeem himself, Kompowsy helped Bart write a song for Lisa's birthday.

After that, Kompowsky revealed who he was and that he knew he wasn't Michael Jackson.
