You could visualise it on the top of the Billboard charts. The next morning, I woke up, and I just said this word (‘Thriller’)… Something in my head just said, this is the title. Quincy said to me, ‘You managed to come up with a title for the last album, see what you can do for this album.’ I said, ‘Oh great,’ so I went back to the hotel, wrote two or three hundred titles, and came up with the title ‘Midnight Man’.

It was never released as an official track, but the demo version is well-known by most music researchers and some of MJ’s most avid fans.Īt the time, no one had even thought of using “Thriller” for what would eventually be classified as one of the most significant tunes in pop music, both with regards to the song title and the album name.
