This page shows “Thriller” by Michael Jackson in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 180 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
