I didn't know this but it accounts for the peculiar feel of the chorus with "Thriller" as the title

This would have been Todd's $250K question. Had it occurred in the regular stack I'd have had a lifeline (JTQ) to use and would have used it here. It's probably easy enough to tease out the right answer, given the video was shot at night, making "Starlight" the most reasonable answer, but I don't think I'd have had the guts to go for it on that alone.

You know, Alfonso, they tell you to hold the microphone right up to your mouth so that we can hear you. Talking with your hands and waving that microphone all over the place doesn't work so well in this situation.
Nice guess, though.

I tried singing each in place of "Thriller," and
Starlight
was the only one that sounded good. (Actually, as I am a terrible singer, none sounded good, but you get what I mean.) So under fire, had I had $100k in the bank, I would have walked and then kicked myself for a good, long time about this.
