Here’s a recording of Thriller by Michael Jackson, covered by Lightspeed Champion for the BBC.
Dev has publicly apologised to Michael J for “butchering’ the track, but blogs have been singing it’s praises…only one way to make your mind up, click the link below…oh, and let us know your thoughts.

I think it’s pretty damn good, especially for a live performance…good on Dev for daring to cover MJ.

At least he hasn’t had the guts to release this …. yet. My friend (honestly!) is unfortunate enough to have in his collection Ian Brown’s double A-side vinyl single – ‘Thriller / Billie Jean’. It’s beyond awful, no funk, no soul …. You can hear his ‘Thriller’ here, I believe… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOVcSHgGHwc

He might at least do Jackson the courtesy of singing something which resembles the original lyrics. If yous don’t know a song well enuff to cover, don’t bother.
