Thriller's lyrics

Here you have the lyrics of the song we were working with today in class. Be careful, because they are the song version, not the clip ones, so they may be a little desorganized if you compare them to the ones in the copy I gave you.

Michelle Obama on Jay Leno's Show

Yesterday, the famous showman Jay Leno teleinterviewed the First Lady alive on his famous "Ten at ten" .

Mrs Obama appeared relaxed , close to people and self-confident, using an informal way of speaking, but she also used her intervention for a particular goal . This fact together with Leno's particular sense of humour have made the video to be spread all around the world and visited more than 300 times, till now.

Here you have the link in case you want to watch the complete interview and understand a little more American sense of humour:
