Rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson showed off some karaoke skills on HBO's 'Hard Knocks,' leading his Detroit Lions cohorts in Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean.' And his teammates really got into it.

An Innocent Hazing

It's been said that performing in front of the other players is a rite of passage. Newbies like Hutchinson have to find a way to 'entertain' their fellow teammates, so when Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell called him up to the front of the room, the former U of M Wolverine was ready with MJ's 'Billie Jean.'

Well, he wasn't exactly 'ready.' Hutchinson had a false start, initially screwing up the lyrics to the tune. But then he found his groove and eventually had the room full of rowdy football players singing along.

The Performance Was So Good, a Teammate Stripped Off His Clothes

We're not exactly sure why it happened, but one of Hutchinson's teammates seemed to be moved by the song - so much so that he stripped off his shirt and threw it up toward the front of the auditorium.

You'll see it happen at about the 2:13 mark in the video below and then watch as the other player wearing the yellow sweatshirt scoops up his teammate's shirt and starts waving it around like a flag.

This Cute Little House Looks Just Like the Apartment on 'Friends'

Remember Monica's apartment on Friends? Sure, its purple walls and aqua cabinets may have been a little garish, but we grew to love them - so much so that this homeowner has recreated the iconic living quarters in this cute little house.

This house in Dayton was previously a short-term rental on Airbnb, but we just learned from the listing that it was sold earlier this summer. Hopefully, the new owners are fans of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe.
