Download We’re going to change up this year. Instead of using “Ghostbusters” for the opener, we’ll try this one. It’s got that driving Michael Jackson beat that should get your audience on their feet right away. You can use the last 32 kinda empty bars at the end to introduce the band (or yourself as the singer) and then go directly into “Ghostbusters”, or whatever.
The video for “Thriller” is quite remarkable. Who knew Jackson could act as well as put out incredible music? Yeah, he had some issues, but he was a genius. Click on the link below to see the video…
As an aside, I’m using a shehnai as the lead instrument. It’s a musical instrument very similar to an oboe, common in places like India and Pakistan. It has that somewhat eerie tone that is perfect for a song like this – but, of course, you’ll be singing it so who cares. Get it off the Halloween list on the home page.
