'CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER, THRILLER NIGHT


You might not have seen it on Saturday night, but Dave van den Bergh did a special goal celebration following his free kick marker against Chivas USA. The picture above only begins to scratch the surface...

Red Bull Director of Team Operations Shaun Oliver kicks off the pregame locker room music with the same song at all road games. That song is Thriller, by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The song is a favorite among the team, and Oliver asked that someone (notably Dave or John Wolyniec) imitate the dance the next time he scored. It took some time, but Dave got his "Thriller on" against the Goats, earning some praise from Oliver, though Oliver did give a critical critique of Dave's interpretation.

And in case you ever wanted to see Thriller performed by inmates at a prison in the Phillipines, take a look at the video below (who draws the short straw to play the woman in this reprisal?):
