Today marks the 25th anniversary of the release of Michael Jackson’s now legendary album Thriller. In celebration, Michael Jackson has recorded a “special video” for his fans.

In recognition of the anniversary, Sony has released Thriller 25, a special edition reissue of the album with seven exclusive bonus tracks not part of the original release.

It soon became apparent, however, that Thriller was something unique. Its first single, the goofy-sweet Paul McCartney duet ”The Girl Is Mine,” was a safe choice, but the second single, ”Billie Jean,” exploded everything around it. Its driving funk beat and atypically aggressive, fascinatingly obscure lyrics — which found Michael vehemently denying some woman was his lover — lent ”Billie Jean” an urgency that only became more intense when Jackson used it on the March 1983 TV special Motown 25 to unveil his signature dance moves, including the moonwalk.
