"Thriller" -- The video remixes

Tell the truth.

When Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video first appeared on MTV, you and your friends stood in front of the television and practiced those monster dance steps that made the video famous. Thank God there are no videos of those moments. But in the era of YouTube, plenty of folks have no problem showing their love for the Gloved One's masterwork. To wit:

Inmates at a Philippines prison have all the right moves -- they even have an Ola Ray!! The warden swears it's just for exercise. The video was a viral hit last year.

Another viral hit, this wedding-party video was featured on "Good Morning America." Now everybody has a wedding-party "Thriller" video.

"Thriller" was always an international hit as this video from Hungary can attest.

More from across the pond, this time on the London Tube.

Super Bowl commercial featuring Naomi Campbell and some slick lizards. Does anyone remember what they were selling?

One of the few endearing moments from "13 Going on 30" starring Jennifer Garner.

The "We Have Waaaaay Too Much Time on Our Hands" Award goes to makers of this video, which is a shot-for-shot remake of the entire "Thriller" video -- done in LEGOS!! The creature dance-off in the middle more than makes up for the video's crappy quality.
