Or Rick Astley? Or the Spice Girls? Probably not, but you get to experience it anyway. Singer Anthony Vincent, the guy behind the YouTube channel [Ten Second Songs](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm6r%5Fb2K5jn1JGkwDcwJXrQ "undefined"), took Michael Jackson’s spooky smash hit and sang it in 20 different styles in under five minutes. He channels everyone from Busta Rhymes to Ozzy Osbourne to Robert Johnson with impressive accuracy. We’ll probably stick with the original next time we feel like listening to “Thriller,” but still. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3542105/heres-michael-jacksons-thriller-sung-in-20-different-musical-styles/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3542105/heres-michael-jacksons-thriller-sung-in-20-different-musical-styles/"},"headline":"Here's Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Sung in 20 Different Musical Styles","datePublished":"2014-10-27T22:08:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:06.689Z","description":"Just in time for Halloween, the spooky song gets a makeover","url":"https://time.com/3542105/heres-michael-jacksons-thriller-sung-in-20-different-musical-styles/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","Music","michael jackson","halloween"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltff29973de8fb50df/698762f2cd1bba19546f2da9/screen-shot-2014-10-27-at-4-48-17-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltff29973de8fb50df/698762f2cd1bba19546f2da9/screen-shot-2014-10-27-at-4-48-17-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-10-27 at 4.48.17 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3542105/heres-michael-jacksons-thriller-sung-in-20-different-musical-styles/","name":"Here's Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Sung in 20 Different Musical Styles"}}]}] ```
