«Dont Stop Til You Get Enough» was the first short film of Michael Jacksons solo career, filmed in 1979 for the No. 1 hit single from Off the Wall. «Dont Stop Til You Get Enough,» directed by Nick Saxon, was the jumping off point for the elaborate and groundbreaking «short films» Michael would go on to create throughout his career.
The short film to Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” his best-selling single in the United Kingdom, earned Michael the Doris Day Music Award from the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards. The urgent need to address the issues facing the planet and all that inhabit it were on the forefront of Michael’s mind when he created this song and short film; issues that are even more urgent today.
Michael Jackson’s “Speed Demon” short film is the ninth and final short film for the “Bad” album and is part of the Moonwalker film. “Speed Demon” includes groundbreaking Claymation by director Will Vinton and is a humorous take on unwanted media attention. In the short film, Michael disguises himself as a motorcycle-racing rabbit to avoid a throng of fans and paparazzi.
Chorus:
Speedin on the freeway
Gotta get a lead way
(Speed demon)
Doin it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
Im stoppin at nothin
(Speed demon)
He say, «pull over boy and get your ticket right»

THE SHORT FILM
Director: John Landis
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California
Michael Jacksons short film for «Thriller» was the third of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status (i.e.: sales in excess of 30 million) by the RIAA for US sales alone. The «Thriller» single reached No. 1 in four countries in 1984, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as charts in Spain, France and Belgium. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Thriller the first album to feature seven Top 10 singles. The Recording Industry Association of America certified «Thriller» Gold and Platinum on December 4, 1989.
The groundbreaking short films for the Thriller album, starting with «Billie Jean,» following up with «Beat It» and culminating with the epic, nearly 14-minute «Thriller,» truly expanded the possibilities of «music video» as art form. «I wanted something that would glue you to the set, something youd want to watch over and over,» Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. «I wanted to be a pioneer in this relatively new medium and make the best short music movies we could make.»
In the short films extended prologue, Michaels moonlit date with his girlfriend (played by model Ola Ray) is interrupted by his sudden transformation into a howling werewolf. While the «real» Michael and Ola, observing the scene in a movie theater, walk home from the their date, Michael teases her by singing the verses of «Thriller.»
Lyrics:
Its close to midnight
Something evils lurking from the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between your eyes
Youre paralyzed
Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
And no ones gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know its thriller
Thriller night
Youre fighting for your life
Inside a killer thriller tonight, yeah
