Appropriately timed for Halloween, “Thriller” is one of Michael Jackson’s most iconic songs with that famous dance everyone loves to imitate!
The song is very long and has many different cuts and edits, so I’ve captured the melody of the verse and the chorus which you can repeat as necessary depending on the version you’re playing 🙂
