<p><em>Dancers from Thriller LIVE perform Michael Jackson&#8217;s Thriller dance in front of unsuspecting members of the public to celebrate 25th year anniversary of Thriller</em>.</p>
<p>The biggest selling album of all time went underground when London commuters were taken by storm with a filmed performance of the famous <strong>Thriller Dance on the London district line tube</strong>.</p>
<p>Already an <strong>instant hit on YouTube</strong>, the video shows passengers looking flabbergasted as the impromptu performance by fellow commuters kicks off. One viewer said: <em>&#8220;This is amazing!!! Slick as hell. I love the people who pretend they&#8217;re not interested.&#8221;</em> Another Internet watcher said: <em>&#8220;The polite applause at the end is the best bit &#8211; very British.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The video has been picked up across the world with the <strong>Metro paper</strong> running a huge feature together with <strong>TV coverage on ITV London Tonight</strong>. This has clearly captured the imagination of the London commuters with a serious debate across blogs, websites and YouTube about this dance extravaganza.</p>
<p>The dance was performed by professional dancers from <strong>Thriller LIVE</strong> which is a full budget mega-show celebrating the music of the World&#8217;s Greatest Entertainer.</p>
<p>Kicking off its UK tour on March 27th, 2008 the dance crew got together with <strong>Sony BMG</strong> to plan the 25th anniversary of the release of Thriller and thought it would be fun to perform the Thriller dance in various locations around London.</p>
<p>The first &#8220;tube&#8221; video has been hugely popular&#8230;where might they appear next?</p>

<p>The nation&#8217;s favourite twins, now collectively known as <strong>Samanda</strong> after they captivated <strong>Big Brother</strong> audiences, make their recording debut with the release of their new single <strong>&#8220;Barbie Girl&#8221;</strong> available to download on 24 September, 2007 and followed a week later by the physical release on October 1st in the UK.</p>
<p>The record was made two days after the girls, Sam and Amanda, left the Big Brother house. They were immediately signed to global recording giants <strong>SonyBMG</strong> who had spotted their potential throughout their summer-long stay in the house. The single, a cover version of <strong>Aqua&#8217;s</strong> number one hit, was the natural choice for the twins who charmed viewers by with their own distinctive version of the song in the Big Brother UK house.</p>
<p>A stunning video will accompany the release of the single &#8211; which has been produced by the legendary pop team, <strong>Metro</strong> which is responsible for best sellers for artists including <strong>Cher, Kylie Minogue</strong> and <strong>Enrique Inglesias</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Watch Samanda &#8211;  &#8220;Barbie Girl&#8221; video:</strong></p>

<p>The twins said: <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s a dream come true for us to record our favourite song of all time and. We&#8217;re just so excited about everything and keep having to pinch ourselves to make sure its all real!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>A spokesperson for SonyBMG added: <em>&#8220;It is a measure of how much viewers identified with the Twins that they were the only BB contestants never to have been nominated for a single eviction. They are also the only BB contestants ever have to have signed with a major record company. Superstardom beckons for them.&#8221;</em></p>
