Thriller 'Wasn't' MTV's Music Video Of The Year

It's a moment that still baffles music fans today: Michael Jackson's groundbreaking "Thriller" music video didn't win Video of the Year at the first-ever MTV Video Music Awards. In a year that introduced the world to a new form of artistic expression, the epic 14-minute short film seemed like a shoo-in.

Instead, the coveted award went to The Cars for their video "You Might Think." While undoubtedly a catchy tune with a visually appealing video, it pales in comparison to the cinematic masterpiece that was "Thriller." The video revolutionized the music industry, blending storytelling, choreography, and special effects in a way that had never been seen before.

So how did this happen? Perhaps the voters were caught up in the novelty of the new medium, or maybe they simply didn't appreciate the groundbreaking nature of Jackson's work. Regardless, the decision remains one of the biggest upsets in MTV VMA history.

While "Thriller" ultimately went on to become one of the most iconic music videos of all time, the initial snub adds an extra layer of intrigue to its legendary status.
