Song(s): Sunset Driver & What A Lovely Way to Go
Artist: Michael Jackson

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THRILLER 40!! 🤩

Today I am featuring two unreleased demo songs from Thriller 40 that stood out to me last year when I did my LIVE listening party review of this special edition album!

Sunset Driver
This one is so funky and cool! Classic Michael Jackson song, it makes you want to dance! And his voice is FIRE! 🔥


(Hoo!)
(Hee!)

All alone, she's in the ego zone
The word is out that you're doin' wrong
On the move, got fire in your shoes
By word of mouth, you are on the loose
You're livin' on sunset time (You're livin' on sunset time)
(Hoo!)

Feelin' bad, you're livin' much too fast
The truth, the truth that you're on the pass
In the raw, they don't know what you saw
From word of mouth, you're breakin' every law

Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Morning rider, you're a Saturday nighter (Aaow!)

On the go, got fever in your soul
You better not shout where you gonna go
Livin' hot, doin' what you should not
The break's on me then what do you get
We're livin' on sunset time (We're livin' on sunset time)
(Want that dime)
Shoot the breeze, you feel that she's the tease
Your night is free, what you wanna be?
Who's to trust when livin' dangerous?
Tonight's your night, but this is what you lose

Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Gettin' higher, you're a Saturday nighter (Aaow!)
(Hoo!)
(Pah-dah-da-da-dah-dah-dah)
(Hee!)

You are there when the night's in town
Standin' there with the top of the round
They don't care about the things you used to say
You're like the cinema, you think there's nothin' wrong (Hoo!)

Goin' town, you do it every time
The word's got out that you're on the line
On the move, got fever in your shoes
The night's on you, what are you gonna do?

Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Got to reach that driver, you're a Saturday nighter (Aaow!)

(Pah-dah-da-da-dah-dah-dah) (Hee-hee-hee)
(Aah) (Pah-dah-da-da-dah-dah-dah)
(Hoo!)
(Hee!)
(Hoo!) (Hee!)
(Hoo!)

(Hee!)
(Hoo!)
(Hee!)

That's it, Janet
That's fine, Michael


What A Lovely Way To Go
This one is sort of a ballad and although the lyrics are a bit on the sad side...I love it! Always have since the first time I heard it. You can definitely tell the lyrics were unfinished and the song is quite "messy" but it's still pretty dang smooth, especially for only being a demo! Michael was a force to be reckoned with and listening to his old music makes me miss him! 😭 And makes me wish I could have lived during his "hey day!" He was (and is!) pure magic!! ✨


Give me some lovin', and I wanna make it
Everything I do
I know my darling's a dreamer
And I wanna say that life is here for you

But I don't need the right to know
Everything you do
I don't need the right to show
But feel...
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Oh!

Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin' it down (Yeah!)
Talkin' in threes (Hi!)
Hurtin' my mind, but my power was to feel
Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin' it down (Yeah)
Talkin' in threes (Woah!)
Hurtin' my mind, but my power was feel

Heard you woe a loser
But it seems you that don't know the things I know
And if you are believing don't repent that you will
Know where I go

But I don't need the right to know
Everything she does
But she don't need the need to show
But feel

Everybody (Yeah!)
Everybody (Yeah!)
Everybody
Ho!

Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin' it down (Yeah)
Talkin' in threes (Woah)
Hurtin' my mind, but my power was to feel
Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin' it down (Alright!)
Talkin' in threes (Okay)
Hurtin' my mind, but my power was to feel

Hooh!
Hooh!

Gimme a chance babe!
Just to see you smile! (Hoo hoo hoo!)
Gimme a chance babe!
(Gimme a chance babe!)
And I'll make it easy for you (Easy for you)
(Easy for you)

I heard you woe a loser
But don't say that you must get all the time (Hurt so many times)
And don't be just pretending that it's all knowing
Love is here inside

But I don't need the right to know (Don't need)
Everything she does (C'mon girl)
But give me time and I will show (Hee)
To everybody

Everybody (Yeah!)
Everybody (Woah!)

Oh!

Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
I start cutting it down (Alright!)
Talkin' in threes (Yeah!)
Hurtin' my mind, but my power was to feel

Oh what a lovely way to go (Hee hee!)
Never let your feelings show (Aaaow!)

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 their enth
