Bappi’s MJ-inspired track wasn’t (Sal)marvellous

Thriller, Michael Jackson’s sixth studio album, released in 1982.

The video accompanying the eponymous track featured ghoulish characters dancing in sync in a graveyard.

That inspired Jeena Bhi Kya Hai Jeena, one of the two songs from Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki (1984) on this playlist.

The song was composed by Bappi Lahiri, who was inspired by Billie Jean, another track on the aforementioned album by the King of Pop.

Lahiri was also one of the two people who lent their voices to it.

The other was Salma Agha.

The track was penned by Anjaan.
