Its close to midnight and something evils lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
Youre paralyzed
cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize theres nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if youll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin up behind
Youre out of time
cause this is thriller, thriller night
There aint no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight
Bridge
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
Theres no escapin the jaws of the alien this time
(they're open wide)
This is the end of your life
Theyre out to get you, theres demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night Ill save you from the terror on the screen,
Ill make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight
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

마이클잭슨이 급성심장마비증상으로 병원으로 실려가던 때, 파파라치는 그의 다급한 모습을 찍었다. 1987년에 태어난 나는 그의 모습을 TV에서 봤고, 사실은 방한 콘서트를 했을 때 그의 노래를 정식으로 접했다. TV에 비치는 그의 춤은 오로지 그의 몸짓의 집결체였다. 그는 오직 화려한 효과를 그의 춤을 돕게 하기 위해서만 썼다. 그외의 그의 모습은 파파라치들에게 찍힌 사진들로 나를 의아하게 했다. 천하의 춤꾼은 사진 속에 갇혀서 춤을 출 수가 없는 모습이었다. 그는 사진들의 감옥에 갇힌 죄수였고 TV브라운관에 나타나는 영상의 한 표편이었다. 적어도 나에게는, 아니, 그를 알지 못하던 많은 사람들에게는. 하지만 이제 그가 죽었다. 그는 아마 달에서 문워크를 하고 있을 것이다. 달과 지구의 거리는 TV브라운관과 사진 속의 그와 우리의 거리보다도 휠씬, 휠씬 멀다. 달이 지구에게 기울어져서 그의 모습을 보여주지 않는다면 우리는 그가 춤추는 것을 다시는 볼 수가 없을 것이다. 그는 우리에게 살아있지만 만져 볼 수 없는 하나의 개념체였고 이제는 사진보다 더 높은 차원으로 가버렸다. 한가지 안심이 되는 것은 적어도 달은 '춤'을 '자유롭다'라는 말과 동일시하는 곳이라는 것이다.

마이클 잭슨이 늑대인간으로 변하는 장면. 이때의 기술로는 굉장히 획기적인 효과였을 것이다.
사실 앞에 장면은 마이클이 여자친구와 같이 보러 온 영화의 한 장면이었다. 이때의 그, 정말 얄미운 표정을 짓는다.ㅎㅎ
노래 나오는 부분이다. 삐진 여자친구를 달래려 노래를 부르는 마이클.
그러나 갑자기 좀비로 변해버린 그는 마을좀비들과 어울려서 춤을 추고..(Break dance).
여자친구는 좀비로 변한 그를 보고 소리를 지르지만 갑자기 진짜 마이클로 돌아와서 왜그러냐고 안심시키지만...마지막 부분은 섬뜩하게도 다시 좀비로 변한 그가 우리를 보고 쓰윽 웃는다. 반전?
Ghost(2007)
There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that that's the truth
Because now it's onto me
I don't understand it
Hey
I don't understand it!
Aaow
There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
Don't understand it
Hey!
Don't understand it
Hey.
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
There's a tappin in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
Don't understand it!
Yeah Yeah!
Don't understand it!
Your just a dog gone!
Aaow!
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me?
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back,
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A suckin' ghost of jealousy
Aaow!
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me?
And who gave you the right to hurt my family?
And who gave you the right hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
Aaow
Dog gone
But there's no doubt about it, piece of mind
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

마이클 잭슨이 유령들과 군무를 추는 것은 백스트리트 보이즈가 Everybody라는 뮤비에서 오마주한 것같기도 하다. 아니면 Thriller를 오마주한것일 수도 있다.
상당히 비슷하다.
You Rock My World(2001)
이건 짧게 한 버젼이다. 긴 버젼은 무려 10분을 훌쩍 넘는다. 이정도면 뭐 거의 단편영화라고 할 수 있다.
My life will never be the same
Cause girl, you came and changed
The way I walk
The way I talk
I cannot explain the things I feel for you
But girl, you know it's true
Stay with me, fulfill my dreams
And I'll be all u'll need
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels so right (Girl)
I've searched for the perfect love all my life (All my
life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels like I (Like I)
Have finally found her perfect love is mine (See, I
finally found, come on, girl)
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I'm gonna give (You rocked my world)
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Girl)
And everything I'm gonna give (I want you, girl)
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine
In time I knew that love would bring
This happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I waited patiently
Girl, you know it seems
My life is fully complete
Our love is true because of you
You're doin' what you do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who'd think that I (Oh)
Have finally found the perfect love I searched for all
my life (Searched for all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who'd think I'd find
(Whoa...oh...oh...)
Such a perfect love that's so right (Whoa, girl)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Come on, come
on, come on, come on)
And everything I'm gonna give
And there ain't nothing we could find (Girl)
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know
you did
And everything I'm gonna give (Girl, girl, girl)
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine (Girl)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Oh)
And everything I'm gonna give (You rocked my world)
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world (Oh...), you know you did
And everything I'm gonna give (To rock my world)
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine
Girl, I know that this is love
I felt the magic all in the air
And girl, I'll never get enough
That's why I always have to have you here, hoo
You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know
you did
And everything I'm gonna give (Look what you did to
me, baby, yeah)
And there ain't nothing (Yeah, yeah) we could find
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Know you did,
baby)
And everything I'm gonna give (Cause you rocked my
world)
And there ain't nothing we could find (Hoo, hoo)
Someone like you to call mine
(You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did
(The way you talk to me, the way you're lovin' me)
(The way you give it to me)
You rocked my world, you know you did
(Give it to me)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah...yeah...ooh)
You rocked my world (You rocked my world), you know
you did
(You rocked my world, you rocked my world)
(Come on, girl) You rocked my world (Come on, girl),
you know you did
(Baby, baby, baby)
And everything I'm gonna give
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I'm gonna give
And there ain't nothing we could find
Someone like you to call mine

이 할아버지는 누구냐면 바로 말론브란도. 마이클의 뮤비에 나와서 아주 짧막한 대사를 날려주신다. 이게 다야? ㅎ
