Thriller (Lambchop album)
Thriller is the third full-length album by Lambchop, released in 1997. The album title was chosen as a reference to the Michael Jackson album of the same name, one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, as an in-joke by frontman Kurt Wagner regarding the low sales of the first two Lambchop albums. The track "Your Fucking Sunny Day" was released as a single from the album in a re-recorded "clean" version, under the title "Your Sucking Funny Day". Three of the songs, "Hey Where's Your Girl", "Crawl Away" and "Superstar in  France" are cover versions of songs from the album "Poor Fricky" by East River Pipe also released on Merge Records. The sleeve is a painting by Wayne White, a childhood friend of Wagner who also provided cover art for "Nixon", "Aw Cmon" and "No You Cmon" by the band.
