Michael Jackson Thriller Covers
By Marvin Marks on Jun 28, 2009 in Features
Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the biggest selling of all time so it’s no surprise that it’s pretty easy to find covers of each it’s nine songs on YouTube. I’m including one (particularly groovy) cover of each song below:
#1 “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” by Kids Incorporated
#2 “Baby Be Mine” by The Engagements (jazz.)
#3 “The Girl Is Mine” by a dude playing the ukulele.
#4 “Thriller” by Ben Gibbard. Lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie & The Postal Service.
#5 “Beat It” by Fall Out Boy. Acoustic.
#6 “Billy Jean” instrumental played on acoustic guitar by a kid.
#7 “Human Nature” by Tarrus Riley.
#8 “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” by Natalia Jesurun.
#9 “The Lady In My Life” by Derek Mok.

The kid playing “Billie Jean” is named Sungha Jung and there’s a ton of videos of him on YouTube covering other songs. If he was an adult he’d be pretty damn good. Since he’s just a kid, it’s a bit ridiculous. Check out his videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/jwcfree

Hey natalie – that’s very cool. Thanks for leaving us a message. Your cover of PYT is great – and it’s one of my favorite MJ songs – so great choice.
