Thriller is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The album was released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off the Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off the Wall, including funk, disco, soul, soft rock, R&B and pop. However, Thriller's lyrics deal with generally darker themes, including paranoia and the supernatural.
With a production budget of $750,000, recording sessions took place between April and November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California. Assisted by producer Quincy Jones, Jackson wrote four of Thriller's nine tracks. Following the release of the album's first single "The Girl Is Mine", some observers assumed Thriller would only be a minor hit record. With the release of the second single "Billie Jean", the album topped the charts in many countries. At its peak, the album was selling a million copies a week worldwide. In just over a year, Thriller became—and currently remains—the best-selling album of all time. Sales are estimated to be between 47–109 million copies sold worldwide. Seven of the album's nine songs were released as singles, and all reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammys. Despite numerous five-star reviews, Thriller was not universally praised.
Thriller cemented Jackson's status as one of the predominant pop stars of the late 20th century, and enabled him to break down racial barriers via his appearances on MTV and meetings with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. The album was one of the first to use music videos as successful promotional tools—the videos for Thriller, "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" all received regular rotation on MTV. In 2001, a special edition issue of the album was released, which contains additional audio interviews, a demo recording and the song "Someone In the Dark", which was a Grammy-winning track from the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial storybook.[3] In 2008, the album was reissued again as Thriller 25, containing re-mixes that feature contemporary artists, a previously unreleased song and a DVD.
Thriller ranked number 20 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2003, and was listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers at number three in their Definitive 200 Albums of All Time. Thriller was preserved by the Library of Congress to the National Recording Registry, as it was deemed "culturally significant".

INTRODUCTION
This page is a brief guide to the stage musical Thriller Live. This features the songs of Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. It opened in London's West End in January 2009.
The Jackson brothers and sisters (from eldest to youngest) are: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael, Randy, Rebbie, LaToya and Janet. The family come from the state of Indiana in the USA.
Initially the three eldest brothers formed a group called The Jackson Brothers, before Marlon and Michael joined and the band became The Jackson 5. Following a change of record label the name was changed to The Jacksons, and Randy replaced Jermaine in the group (Jermaine rejoined later). In the early 1980's Michael started working increasingly on solo material, in particular producing the album Thriller (the world's best-selling album of all time) in 1982, and he left The Jacksons in 1984. Janet Jackson, the youngest member of the family, has also become a highly successful solo artist.
The origins of Thriller Live can be traced back to The Annual Michael Jackson Celebration, a tribute concert organised by Adrian Grant each year starting in 1991. The first half of the show focuses on the period up to 1982, featuring songs by the Jackson 5 and some of Michael's early solo performances. The second half is a tribute to Michael Jackson's most successful period from 1982 to 1995, featuring songs from his albums Thriller, Bad and Dangerous.

Thriller
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there’s nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin’ up behind
You're out of time
Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain’t no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin’. The jaws of the alien this time
(they're open wide)
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night I'll save you from the terrors on the screen,
I'll make you see
That it's a thriller, thriller night
Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller,
Thriller here tonight
That it's a thriller, thriller night
Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller,
颤栗
午夜临近,漆黑处潜伏着
邪恶的东西.
月色之下,眼前的景象让人.
凝神静气
你试图尖叫,
可是恐怖震慑住了你
的声音
你开始全身发冷,
因为恐惧凝神于
你的眼眸之间
你已经瘫痪
因为这东西太恐怖,
这夜晚令人毛骨悚然,
无人会将你从伏击的野兽抓下解救出来
要知道这东西太恐怖,
这夜晚令人毛骨悚然
在这个杀气腾腾的恐怖之夜,
你要为你的性命打拼 你听到关门的一声巨响, 意识到自己已经无处可逃 你感到有只冰冷的手,
想知道自己
是否还会见到黎明曙光
你闭上眼睛,
期冀这只是想像.
可却始终听到野兽在后面逼近的声响
你已经没有时间
因为这东西太恐怖,
这夜晚令人毛骨悚然
再无机会来抗衡这张着40只眼睛的怪物 要知道这东西太恐怖,
这夜晚令人毛骨悚然
在这个杀气腾腾的恐怖之夜
你要为你的性命打拼
黑夜怪兽在嘶叫, 行尸走肉在欢庆化妆舞会
这次你已走投无路,
面对群魔怪兽的鬼门关
你的末日已到.
他们全体出动,
欲将你捉拿,
恶魔们逼近,
四面围堵,
若你拨动的号码再不变更
他们就会将你抓获
现在该是我俩紧紧依偎的时候
整个夜晚,
我会把你从隐蔽的恐怖中解脱
我要让你看看我的本事
那令人毛骨悚然的东西,
那令人毛骨悚然的夜晚
我比任何魔鬼都敢于尝试,
因为我让你心惊肉跳
女孩,这毛骨悚然的东西,
这令人毛骨悚然的夜晚,
那么让我紧紧抓住你,
共同面对今晚的来临
的杀人魔鬼,恐怖大王
