Thriller (RunDMC Remix)
Yes, Michael Jackson was cool at one time. We had no idea what he was going to develop into. Yikes. He’s scarier looking now than his zombie self in the above video directed by John Landis. I like the energy of this shortened version of the video edited by Drewske1984 with the RunDMC mix of the song dubbed in.
I wonder what Jackson’s next incarnation will be…
Just a bit of an aside - I sure do miss Vincent Price. Here are the lyrics of Vincent Price’s rap in the song:
Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize yawls neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpses shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
Man, he was too cool for school.
