From Creepy LA Blog:

But here’s something I just recently ran across – Michael Jackson’s recording of “Starlight,” the song that would eventually become “Thriller” with completely new lyrics. This is pretty mindblowing… take a listen:

The legend is that songwriter Rod Templeton woke up with a vision of the word “Thriller” at the top of Billboard’s charts, changes were made, and the rest is history.

Can you imagine the “Thriller” album, let alone this song, with any other title? Goes to show that zombies and a lil creepiness make everything better.
