Why he might be annoying:

    As a teen, he wore a mouse suit to entertain diners at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.
    He said of the 'Otis Day' persona, 'He's taken over as far as performing goes. But when I get my bills, it's DeWayne Jessie.'
    He lip-synched his songs in 'Animal House.' (The actual singing was done by Lloyd Williams.)

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won a NAACP Image Award for his supporting performance in 'The Bingo Long Travelling All-Stars & Motor Kings.'
    His performance as Otis Day was based on his brother, Young Jessie, who was a member of the R&B groups the Flairs and the Coasters.
    After the success of 'Animal House,' he went on tour, playing 260 sold out shows in a single year.
    Mark Metcalf said, 'He saw 'Animal House' as a ticket, and he is making it pay.'
