Thriller 40 Challenge!

HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE BEST SELLING ALBUM IN THE WORLD BY THE BEST ARTIST WHO EVER GRACED THIS WORLD, THRILLER BY MICHAEL 👑 JACKSON!! 🐐


I meant to do this Thriller 40 Challenge I saw on Twitter last week but forgot to...since today is THE day, I decided why not answer all the ❔❔'s now!

Day 1: What's your favorite song from the Thriller album.
This is a tough one but I have to go with Human Nature. I was instantly mesmerized the first time I heard it. I thought it was the most beautiful song in the world! I still get so excited every time I hear those beginning notes! 😍



Day 2: A song from Thriller that has personal meaning to you, what does it mean to you?
It's gotta be Human Nature again just because it was one of the first songs I fell in love with when I was first becoming a fan! You can read more about it here! I pretty much documented my entire journey on my blog here going from knowing who Michael was and a few of his hits to becoming the crazy, die-hard stan I am today!

Day 3: Which song from Thriller give you the most nostalgia? And what memories does it hold? 
Probably the song Thriller. It's just so iconic! I remember knowing that song long before I ever considered myself a Michael Jackson fan. It really was revolutionary and changed the world! Name one person who doesn't know that song! You don't have to be an MJ fan, you're practically born knowing it!! Now, THAT'S how you make an impact in the music world! Ending each Halloween night watching Thriller has become one of my favorite new traditions in recent years; one I plan to carry on for the rest of my life with my own future family!


Day 4: Your favorite live performance with a song from Thriller? 
I have three and I refuse to choose between them! They are all equally amazing!! Human Nature, Thriller & Billie Jean from Live at Wembley 1988! The first time I watched each of these performances I remember my jaw being on the ground I was so blown away by Michael! I literally turned into a giddy child, I knew I was experiencing something special, never to be done or seen again by any other human being! 🤍🤍😭




Day 5: The Thriller song with your favorite lyric?
Hmmm...this is a hard one! I've always LOVED the way Michael sounds on Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' when he says: "Took my baby to the doctor with a fever but nothin' he found. By the time this hit the street, they said she had a breakdown! Someone's always tryin' to start my baby cryin.' Talkin', squealin', lyin' sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'!" He sounds so nasty (in a good way obvi)!

Also, the second verse ("Reaching out to touch a stranger, electric eyes are everywhere. See that girl, she knows I'm watching, she likes the way I stare"), bridge and ending ad-libbing of Human Nature, has always been a favorite 😍 And the chorus of P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing). "Pretty Young Thang!" Sooo good!! Oh and just everything about Lady Of My Life 😍😍 That song is so sexy! 😅

Day 6: Your favorite new track from #Thriller 40?
She's Trouble! Read more about my reasons/fangirling here 😁 A close second is What A Lovely Way to Go. It's an earworm.



Day 7: Your favorite short film from the Thriller album?
Hands down Thriller!! 


Day 8: Do you have any memorabilia related to Thriller? If not, what's on your wish list?
I own two albums, both anniversary editions. I love my Thriller t-shirt I bought years ago from the men's section at Target. 😁 I would love a poster to hang on my wall! 

Day 9: When/how did you discover the Thriller album?
September 2015 🤍 Shortly after hearing Pentatonix's Evolution of Michael Jackson and looking up Human Nature. I was shocked when I found out Beat It, Billie Jean AND Thriller were all from ONE album! I knew they were all hits from Michael Jackson but I thought it was over the course of time/his career. I remember thinking no wonder he's such a big deal! 😂 Knowing everything I know now...yeah, he's more than just a "big deal!" He's the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! 

Day 10: Your favorite song from the Thriller sessions that is till unreleased?
🤔🤔 I didn't know there were more...so I've clearly never heard them. I guess I'm not as hardcore of a fan as the people I follow on Twitter 😂


HAPPY 40TH BIRTDHAY THRILLER!!🤍✨

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w...

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan...

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In thei...
