    Der Der der FIRST?

  2. Crystal Kyuuketsuki says:

    Uh how about it had a good song? This seriously needs more slices.

  3. Sparkiee says:

    The dancing zombies where not a part of the production?

    Fail.

  4. Merm says:

    I think you’re conusing cause and effect.
    Cause: It was well produced.
    Effect: Dancing zombies came off as awesome instead of lame.

  5. Ziggy says:

    Somebody doesn’t know the difference between fact and opinion.

    Fail.

  6. ME!!!!!! says:

    so thriller is “the best produced music video” and that is a “fact”???? o rly

  7. X says:

    I think I was the only kid at my school who thought the video was one of the stupidest things ever filmed. I laughed my head off when the dancing zombie appeared.

    Never got the whole zombie thing, either. What’s the attraction there? Why do people love them some zombies? Out of all the classic monster types they are easily the most boring. And “Thriller” was a boring song, so I guess it’s a good match. The video was famous because it had a big time director.

    • mamarosa says:

      I loves me some zombies because they are ‘classically one dimensional’.
      What do we want: braaaaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnzzzzzz…
      When do we want them: nnnnoooooooooowwwwwww……

      And as for Thriller being a boring song…….. ‘fraid not.
      It was a well composed work with state of the art synthesizer work for it’s time. (ahh, don’t take my word for it, I’m just a professional musician/arranger)
      And if the voice of Vincent Price comes across as boring, then you are too young to know what ‘classic horror’ really is.

      Vincent Price represents.

      • Chatte noir says:

        A film that consisted of nothing more that Vincent Price reading the phone book out loud would still rank as one of the scariest movies of all time.

        He is creeeeeepy….

        • Anon says:

          Oddly enough, he was also hilariously comedic. Check out his film “The Raven”. Also, his multiple appearances on The Muppet Show. He may have been a famous horror movie actor, but he had a great sense of humor.

    • Points Giver says:

      +5 points for not being swayed by the fad. +500 points for thinking zombies are just not that great. You’re right.

      And to all you old-timers out there reminiscing…. Didn’t you get the memo? The kids are lapping up this ‘new’ vampire crap. Apparently, they are sparkly or something. Maybe you think it was different in your day?

      Just to further my infamously condescending attitude:
      Why can’t the mindless riffraff just follow their role models and overdose? The whole cigarette thing takes way too long. The problem with gun control is that more than enough rednecks have them, but not enough of them use those guns to kill themselves and/or their family members. The problem with the zombie music video in question is that it is unlikely to kill its listener, and worse, it has a small chance of giving the listener some false enjoyment out of life.

  8. Mark says:

    How about it was one of the best songs produced by the king of pop. What about the amazing choreography. This chart does need more pie slices. But you’ve gotta love the zombies.

    • Blarg says:

      And the fact that it was written by someone who would later go on to have sex with little boys and lie about it.

      Good times.

  9. Claire says:

    ♫ Cause this is Thriller…

  10. Sofia says:

    Seriously Guys, I need cheezburger! my lolcatz are really really hungry! If I don’t feed em, they might die!

  11. bronwyn says:

    Bloody zombies!

  12. ИAYЯ says:

    Incorrect statement.

  13. Bagel_Kitty says:

    Zombies always bring in ratings.

  14. notolaf says:

    “The fact that it was the best produced video”

    Hmm. Not a fact, actually.

    (You should understand this comment if you’re as smart as a 3rd grader.)

  15. kjell says:

    too soon?

    • Blarg says:

      Eh, the reason we have the “too soon” mentality when talking about the dead is because we usually respect those who have passed away enough to not talk poorly about them, at least for a while. In this case, I have absolutely no respect what so ever for that man, so I say no, not too soon to say anything we want to about how much of a freak and a pedophile he was. Game on.

  16. katdemon♥fire says:

    Ramalama’s not that famous.

  17. Paul says:

    Er, how about “Because the recording company decided to pour a pile of money into promotion”?

    Let’s be honest: Michael Jackson wasn’t that big a star. He sold a lot of copies of one record, but most people can’t name even a half-dozen of his songs. That’d put him right there with someone like Herman’s Hermits as far has having a successful career goes. The difference, of course, is that Jackson was on the receiving end of much more hype.

    • Ghost of Michael Jackson says:

      wooooooo… That’s just ignorance that you would say that about Michael Jackson woooooooo… Damn these cherubs are sexy…

    • Liz says:

      Black or White, Rock with You, The Way You Make Me Feel, Bad, Earth Song, Heal the World, Dirty Diana, I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, Beat It, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean…

      That’s a dozen there off the top of my head, and I’m not even that big of a fan.
      You’re wrong. Try again.

  18. Mr Jefferson says:

    You’re ignorant.

  19. amethyst says:

    on a related note, has anyone ever noticed that the opening bars to “Bad” sounds just like the opening bars to “Ghostbusters”?

  20. cipher_nemo says:

    Seriously, enough with Michael Jackson charts/references. It’s August. Get over it already and get back to whatever pathetic life you had before this. Thanks. Carry on.
