"I'm Alive" song and music video

Last year Five Alive (Coca-Cola) produced a music video to go with the "I'm Alive" song for their Dancing Dodo. I haven't seen it until now, and I don't remember it being discussed before. I also didn't know until now that the Dancing Dodo has a channel at YouTube. The video is on there but there is a longer version also online. I have the links at the end of this post.
First I'd like you to see the lyrics because while it's an old song and I'm not saying MJ wrote it, I am saying it fits MJ perfectly and I think it was found and is being used for the comeback. It mentions racial unity just like MJ always sang about, and the singer even says his hair's a bit long, just like MJ. Here are the lyrics:
I'm alive!
And I'm seeing things mighty clear today, I'm alive
I'm alive!
And I'm sitting here yelling and doin my thing, I'm alive
And I'm real!
I can breathe and touch and sing and feel, I'm alive
I'm a man!
Who don't care if my hair's a bit long, I'm a man
Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah, yeah!
I'm a man!
And I'm red and I'm yellow I'm black and I'm tan I'm a man
I'm alive!
Sitting here yelling and doing my thing, I'm alive
And I'm real!
I can breathe and touch and sing and feel, I'm alive
I'm alive!
And I'm doing my thing and singing my song, I'm alive
I'm a man
I'm red and I'm yellow I'm black and I'm tan, I'm a man
I'm alive!
I'm alive!
The music video could have been done many ways, but it's about a "frail, old man who died" and then came back to life, singing and dancing. I'm sure you remember that the paramedics are supposed to have said that MJ looked like a "frail, old man" who died.
The video begins with the old man returning to life, but in the longer version there's an extra scene. The old man (representing MJ) has an audience while he is singing and dancing and in this extra scene he kills himself, which shocks his audience, but suddenly he comes back to life once again. In other words, it only looked like he killed himself, but it was fake, a hoax. It's as if he's saying I'm alive and I'm here forever.
Here's the Dancing Dodo's version:
