You Won’t Believe What Else the ‘Thriller’ Singer Has Hidden in His Music Catalog
When’s the last time you put on a red leather jacket and asked yourself—did Michael Jackson actually sing about anything other than haunted houses and werewolves? No, really . I’ll admit, whenever I see MJ’s name, the first image that pops into my head is a foggy graveyard, Vincent Price cackling, and an eternal dance with the undead—don’t judge me, blame October playlists . But what if I told you that beneath all that ghoulish glitter, beyond the iconic “Thriller” howl, lurks a whole other universe of pop? A newly unearthed report out of Cleveland suggests the so-called King of Halloween may have secretly moonwalked straight past his monster mash persona to pen…well, regular non-spooky jams . Now, I’m genuinely flabbergasted. Ten full-length albums—and apparently, there are songs that don’t mention ghosts, zombies, or criminally smooth phantoms. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time we cracked open that glittering, sequined sarcophagus and let the other tracks out for a breather . Could the guy in the mirror be more than the harbinger of trick-or-treat tunes? Don’t miss the story the estate never wanted you to moonwalk away from. LEARN MORE
CLEVELAND—Revealing a vast, forgotten catalog of legitimate pop compositions, a report released Thursday about novelty musical act Michael Joseph Jackson found that the man who recorded the perennial Halloween classic “Thriller” also had a bunch of non-Halloween music. “Jackson is, of course, exclusively known for his haunted hit ‘Thriller’ and singing spooky lyrics like ‘No one’s gonna save you from the beast about to strike,’ but we’ve discovered that he was actually an extremely prolific, earnest musician, having released 10 full-length, mostly non-horror-related albums in his lifetime,” said report co-author Rebecca Rubin of Case Western Reserve University’s Center for Popular Music Studies, pointing out that while Jackson did record a number of lesser-known Halloween novelty songs—like one about a creepy man appearing in the mirror, or another about a woman haunted by the villainous “Smooth Criminal”—the vast majority of his catalog had no connection to the holiday. “Jackson seemed to like to keep a low profile, and even though photographs suggest he was committed to his ghostly Halloween look year round, it appears most of his songs do not begin with a werewolf howl. While today Michael Jackson is fondly remembered as a one-hit Halloween artist, we hope this discovery inspires people to look beyond ‘Thriller’ or even his trick-or-treating anthem ‘Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough’ and listen to his more serious works.” Representatives for the Jackson estate confirmed plans to upload his full catalog online to introduce music fans to songs other than his Halloween hit, which they revealed was originally performed as a joke.
