Miley Cyrus Mimics Michael Jackson's Thriller Video

November 13, 2008
Miley Cyrus Mimics Michael Jackson's Thriller VideoMiley Cyrus mimics Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' in the video to her new single 'Fly On The Wall'.

In the video for the song, which is about the media, Jackson's familiar zombies are replaced by members of the paparazzi.

"The gist of the concept is that she and her boyfriend are on a date, leaving a movie, when suddenly, he gets overcome by some strange cough," director Philip Andelman told MTV.

Cyrus's boyfriend then turns into a paprazzo and begins chasing the singer.

Andelman added: "Soon, she is backed into a corner with nowhere to turn and the paparazzi approaching, when suddenly, instead of attacking or photographing her, they break into choreography."

Jackson's video for 'Thriller' was dubbed the "most successful music video" ever by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2006.
