Michael se baso en esta frase que pertenece a un anuncio popular emitido a las 11 de la noche en las televisiones americanas para que los padres tomaran conciencia de la hora en que llegaban sus hijos a casa y evitar problemas juveniles con las drogas o pandillas. (Algo del estilo al spot de Telecinco "12 meses, 12 causas")...

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?

Do you know where your children are? is a popular question used as a public service announcement for parents on American television throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, usually at 10:00PM or 11:00PM, depending on the market and/or the time of the local youth curfew. The phrase originated from Buffalo, New York's long time ABC affiliate WKBW, and was possibly inspired by the Scottish bedtime story, Wee Willie Winkie.

WKBW news director Irv Weinstein is said to have begun using the phrase at the beginning of his career in the early 1960s, at the suggestion of a local viewer. WKBW used the phrase until 2003, when virtually all of its old image was scrapped in favor of a newer package, and returned to the phrase as a partial return to its old package in 2008.

Besides being used on WKBW, the question became the long-running slogan of New York City TV station (and eventual Fox affiliate), WNYW, which often had celebrities saying it on camera just before the news; some other stations owned by Fox and Local TV LLC also use the phrase. In 2007 WDIV in Detroit used the phrase at the beginning of its 11 o'clock newscasts.

The phrase's popularity is such that it has been parodied and used in pop culture for years:
In the December 14th, 1985 Calvin and Hobbes comic strip Calvin climbs out of his bedroom window at night to call his father, asking, "Hello Dad! It is now three in the morning. Do you know where I am?"
In a Garfield strip from September 1, 1986, Jon hears this said on the 10 o'clock news after Garfield and Odie have run away. He bursts into tears.

On Wu-Tang Clan's single Protect Ya Neck, RZA raps "It's 10 o'clock, ho. Where the fuck is ya seed at?"
Brian K. Vaughan's comic-book series Runaways features the phrase when a corrupt police chief finds that the children have discovered that their parents are super-villains and calls one of them up, saying: "It's four in the morning Mr. Wilder. Do you know where your children are?"

Comedian Lewis Black wrote a play in the late sixties by this name along with Cary Engleberg.
The question is parodied in an audible on Yahoo! Messenger with "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your brain is?".

The tagline for the movie Repo Man reads: "It's 4 AM. Do you know where your car is?".
On an episode of King of the Hill, Dale is shown to have a book called It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your government is?.

In The Simpsons episode "Bart After Dark," Homer sees the message on TV while Bart is working at a late-night job. He replies, "I told you last night, no!"
CBS used the phrase "It's 10 PM. Do you know where your parents are?" between shows to advertise the series Swingtown.

Monster.com used the phrase "It's (clock showing actual time). Do you know where your career is?" in some of its web advertisements.

Soulwax uses this phrase in its song "Theme From Discotheque". The song is released under the name Samantha Fu, a Soulwax alias. The songs lyrics go: "It's 10 AM, do you know where your children are? (...) some say they come looking for drugs, dirty dancing and pounding techno music!", taking the sample from an ABC7 Chicago news report.

On one episode of Whose Line is it Anyway?, Drew Carey introduces Wayne Brady with "It's 11 PM. Do you know where Wayne Brady is?"
During the Closing Bell program on CNBC at 4pm Eastern, anchor Maria Bartiromo always says: "It's 4PM on Wall Street. Do you know where your money is?"

In the Beavis and Butt-Head episode Citizen Butt-Head, the boys get to the microphone during a school assembly with Bill Clinton, where Butt-Head says "It's ten PM. Do you know where your wiener is?"
One episode of Roseanne parodies the PSA title, with an episode called "Do You Know Where Your Parents Are?"

On one episode of The Golden Girls, Sophia (played by Estelle Getty) remarks to a crowd her own age in a retirement home, "Hey, it's 10:00. Do you CARE where your children are?!", and everybody answers "NO!".

On 100.3 The Beat Michael Nutter Says: "It's 5PM. Do you know where your children are?"
In the film The Virgin Suicides, the reporter exclaims: "It's 4 pm. Do you know where your children are?"

The 1994 commercial for Merry Go Round clothing store uses the tagline "It's 11pm, Do you know what you're wearing tomorrow"

A new Michael Jackson song entitled "Do you know where your children are (12 o'clock)" leaked on the Internet and on Youtube in November/December 2010. The song was recorded around 1991 for the Dangerous album.

In the film Let Me In, the commercial is aired on the TV while the mother sleeps.

Letra de la cancion de Michael Jackson
Do You Know Where Your Children Are?


[Verse 1:]
Father comes home from work and he's scared today
Mother cries out again, it's no charade
Father runs to the table, he says what's going on
Mother cries just believe, our little baby's gone

[Chorus 1:]
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 O'clock,
An just hope they're not on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 O'clock,
An just hope they're not on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are.

[Verse 2:]
She wrote that she is tired of step-daddy using her
Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusing her
Just think that she's alone somewhere out on the street
How will this girl survive? She ain't got nothing to eat!

[Chorus 2:]
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 O'clock,
Just hope they're not on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 O'clock,
Just hope they're not on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are.

Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 O'clock,
Just hope they're not on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are.

Save Me [x8 and adlibs]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3:]
Now she on the move, she's off to Hollywood
She says she wantna be a star, she heard the money's good
She gets off from the train station, a man is waiting there
I'll show you where the money is, girl just let down your hair
He's taking her on the streets, of Sunset Boulevard
She's sell her body hot, girl that's what I'm taking for
Police come around the corner, somebody up there told
He's arresting this little girl, that's only twelve years old

[Chorus 2: with adlibs]

Do you know where your children are?
Because it's not 12 O'clock,
Just hope they're not on the street.
Just imagine how scared they are. [x6]

[x2:]
Father comes home from work and he's scared today
Mother cries out again, it's no charade
Father runs to the table, he says what's going on...
