"Thriller" an allegory for the AIDS crisis in the 1980s



From the recent concert, Totally '80s show,by the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, - using the Michael Jackson hit Thriller as an allegory for the AIDS crisis.

The arrangement is based on the more somber Imogen Heap cover. The lyrics of Thriller take on a profoundly different meaning in this context. Following it is the song "Out Here on my Own" from Fame.
