Hailed as the greatest music video of all time by MTV, VH1, Rolling Stone and others, "Thriller," directed by John Landis, is also the only music video selected to be included in the Library of Congress' prestigious National Film Registry. Michael Jackson's short film for "Thriller" was the third of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status (i.e.: sales in excess of 30 million) by the RIAA for US sales alone. The "Thriller" single reached No. 1 in four countries in 1984, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as charts in Spain, France and Belgium. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Thriller the first album to feature seven Top 10 singles. The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Thriller" Gold and Platinum on December 4, 1989. The groundbreaking short films for the Thriller album, starting with "Billie Jean," following up with "Beat It" and culminating with the epic, nearly 14-minute "Thriller," truly expanded the possibilities of "music video" as art form. "I wanted something that would glue you to the set, something you'd want to watch over and over," Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. "I wanted to be a pioneer in this relatively new medium and make the best short music movies we could make." In the short film's extended prologue, Michael's moonlit date with his girlfriend (played by model Ola Ray) is interrupted by his sudden transformation into a howling werewolf. While the "real" Michael and Ola, observing the scene in a movie theatre, walk home from the their date, Michael teases her by singing the verses of "Thriller." 🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵: It's close to midnight and something evil's 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 And you start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes You're paralysed 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike You know it's thriller, thriller night You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah Ooh You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run And you feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun And you close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination (girl) But all the while, you hear a creature creepin' up behind You're out of time 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night There ain't no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes, girl Thriller (ooh), thriller night You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight Night creatures call And the dead start to walk in their masquerade There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (They're open wide) this is the end of your life Ooh They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side (ooh) They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah All through the night, I'll save you from the terror on the screen I'll make you see That this is thriller, thriller night 'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try Thriller (ooh), thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller, thriller Here tonight 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try Thriller (ooh), thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller (ow!)
