'Glee' Cast Mash Up Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' + Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'Heads Will Roll' -- Song Premiere

By Georgette Cline Posted Jan 31st 2011 10:40AM

Super Bowl Sunday is a momentous occasion not only for football enthusiasts, but for 'Glee' fans as well, as the day marks the show's welcomed return since its Christmas episode last year.

While loyal viewers of the musical comedy series are waiting in anticipation for which hit songs actors like Cory Monteith and Lea Michele will sing, fans can expect a monstrous mashup: Cast members are set to perform a mix of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'Heads Will Roll.'

The Sunday, Feb. 6, episode, which will air at 10:30PM EST following the big game, will mark the first time one of the King of Pop's tracks has been covered on 'Glee.' No doubt the famed 'Thriller' dance will saturate TV screens as the 'Glee' cast sing MJ's classic chorus, all while adding, "Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead" from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs club smash.

And we at PopEater are thrilled to offer you the first chance at hearing this epic track.

I'm sorry I've never liked MJ for the reason he felt the need that he needed to be white... no one should change who they are for any reason. Plus in my opinion his music sucks, but hey that me. Ya'll can say whatever you want but it wont change my opinion on him.

Don't like music, OK. Suffered Vitiligo, STATED proud 2 B Black, all videos Afro-centric. Think whatever. Hence adage "head in sand, clouds, wake up", etcetera.

Your opinion may never change but your facts should be.
Michael never felt the 'need' to be white. He was affected by a skin disease called Vitiligo universalis, diagnosed in 1986. This skin condition turns a dark-skinned person white in large patches on the body. The only way to deal with it in extreme cases is to use whitening creams like monobenzone to remove the pigment from your skin. Its permanent and you have to shield your skin from the sun to prevent severe sunburns and melanomas.
GET your FACTS straight!

I gotta say this is pretty good.

Except the ending part where Fin is saying the ending lands it doesn't sound AS scary, but it's pretty good. The harmonization isn't TOO over the top yet it's still catchy and full of beat. I've never heard the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Head's Will Roll" song before but after mixing it up with the greatest song ever written made it a little bit more interesting.

Just hurry up with the show and it'll be a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER. TRUST.

FYI- MJ did not feel the need to be white. he is a Black Man & proud of it. he felt the need to even his skin tone, due to a skin disease that destroyed the pigmentation causing him to have light & dark skin. he was @ first covering light parts with dark make-up until the DISEASE began to dominate & it became easier to work with the DISCOLORATION......hence, THE PALE SKIN. if given a choice i'm sure he would have preferred appearing the way the CREATOR made him. A BLACK MAN

j, your post. Fills me with Glee....

I guess I'm one of the few viewera that don't consider "Glee" as the savior of the TV season. I finally, against my better judgement, watched the Post Suber Bowl broadcast and strenghtened my opinion that the show is bad. Musically, maybe not too bad, but a psychotic teacher venting her anger with no (NO)repercussions from the officials at the school, other than shaking their heads and avoding the teacher reaffirms what happens in real life. Students get the impression that that type of behavior is tolerated rather than punishable.Shows like this are one of the causes of teen attitude regarding authority.
