Thriller - Michael Jackson


How can I let another Halloween pass with out a mention of Thriller one of the more "modern" Halloween songs.

Well folks this year marks the 25th Anniversary of the hugely successful album.
I'm happy to say that I never owned a copy of this album as I was only ten years old.
Apparently I am one of the few who don't own it has sold around 104 Million copies so far.
I am very aware though, of the numerous hits that came of this record, and I'm going to get a chance to finally purchase it. When the 25th anniversary addition is released in time for Christmas.
Who am I kidding I'll probably just download it.
From a completely legal source of course.

Here are a couple of my favorite songs from the album.

The original Thriller in all its glory.
At the time it was released it was a huge sensation especially the fact that the video ran more than 13 minutes unheard of really still to this day.

Here is an edited version of the video.



Billie Jean



Of course we have to include Beat it.



It's a shame that he destroyed his life and career the way he did.
He was a very talented person.

Finally I can't leave with out the Lego version of Thriller cause' who doesn't love Lego....
