I think most people would agree with me that is almost impossible to only have ONE favourite song when there are so many! So, I decided I was going to pick not only one of my favourites but also a special one. A song that meant something to me. That's why I chose a song by Michael Jackson called "Thriller".
Michael Jackson was during the 90's the King of Pop music. His songs and dacing moves (his "moon walk" will never be forgotten) marked a generation of teenagers all over the world. He was a great artist until he got involved in all those problems with plastic surgeries and weird relationships with children.
I chose the song "Thriller" because it reminds me that when I was younger, let's say around 6 years old, I just couldn't watch his video because it scared me so much! Now, even if it was filmed during the 80's I still think it's a great video because it is like a horror film in a song. Personally, I'm not a romantic person and I'm not a big fan of traditional love songs, of course there very good ones but songs like "Thriller" there are not. This song is special, it's not about missing a girl or saying how much you love someone, it's about being scared, frightened, it's about the worst feeling you could have: feeling totally unprotected. I love this song because even if finally it's about "love", it's different, it's a different way of calling the girl's attention: he promises he will protect her from the evil that's trying to possess her.
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
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
But All The While You Hear The 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 Of 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
They're Out To Get You, There's 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 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
It's funny what men can do to convince a woman. Anyway, I prefer this than a corny love song.
