Writer's Block: RIP Michael Jackson

Definitely Thriller. (Full video of it here) I probably saw it when I was four on the one and only occasion that I watched MTV while flipping through channels, and loved it. Mostly paid attention because of the fact that Vincent Price was doing the voiceover, but I liked the zombies. And for strangeness--I saw Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer around this time. That caused nightmares, but watching the Thriller music video didn't.

It's Thriller for me too. It's a song that can never be replicated or compared no matter how much anyone might try.

Ditto - Thriller

Thanks for the link to the vid. I like Billie Jean too. Poor MJ.

Thanks for the video! I think 'Thriller' is also my favourite (though it's interesting to note right at the beginning of the video the wording of Jackson's disclaimer. Weren't his family Jehovah's Witnesses?), though there are some good ones.

One of the many, many shows that were talking about him today mentioned that he was a Jehovah's Witness as a child, but apparently not when he grew up.

Oh, and Mom told me that MTV was showing Thriller earlier. I watched it up to the point where the girl runs into the abandoned house as the zombies were following her. They stopped showing it there, and went on to other music videos.
