    That's not correct. MTV didn't exist. It was VH1. :)

    Omgosh. My little sister and I use to watch Thriller over and over. On a laser disc player, do you remember those? From the late 70's. They played huge discs that looked like LP's. Anyway, we had the dance moves down to a T, probably could still do it.
