If you don't love Thriller something is seriously wrong with you

I will definitely co-sign the statement of other reviewers that this is, without a doubt in my mind, the greatest music video ever made. Directed by John Landis when that was a good thing with makeup effects by the great Rick Baker, it just feels like a real effort was put forth that there isn't in 99% of music videos. The song is, of course, perfect. One of Michael's timeless classics. Vincent Price's part is something I still quote to this day. I am an old fogey who was alive when this was first released, by the way. This blew my young mind back then. That was back in the days when we had to wait for a video to show up on TV. We couldn't just watch it any time we wanted. We also used to wear onions on our belts because that was the style at the time, but I digress. Anyway, this is the best music video ever and my final word on it is that Ola Ray is beautiful and when I was a wee lad I wanted to marry her. I still do but I've accepted that ship not only sailed but it was lost at sea.

score 10/10
