Michael Jackson - Thriller

People who know me know that I'm a serious fan of metal music, the heavier and darker the better. So, today's music choice may come as a surprise but I'm actually trying to be nice.

In Market Square, Tullamore, Co. Offaly on Saturday 23rd October, the "Thrill The World" zombie dance world record attempt/Michael Jackson tribute will be taking place. This event provides an excuse to dress up and dance like a fool around Tullamore a whole week before Halloween provides another excuse to dress up and dance like a fool around Tullamore.

The Tullamore event is a fund-raising opportunity for The Carers Association (a really good cause), so if you're about then please do drop down and lurch about a bit. Pre-registration is necessary (I suppose to make the world record attempt official) and this can be done at the Carers website:

Costumes will add to the fun, and I'll be sorting myself out with a very authentic zombie costume by going out on the piss the night before and not getting changed before going for a bit of a lurch before breakfast!

To get you in the zombie mode, here's Michael (still dead, not a zombie) Jackson's "Thriller".



Thriller Lyrics:

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
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed

'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

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
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 forty eyes, girl
You know it's thriller, 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 escapin' the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
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 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 midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller, thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
(Thriller night, thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Ooh, babe, I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller night, babe

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly 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
