Thriller

Thomas Vinciguerra begins his New York Times article on a Michael Jackson academic conference with this:

"I'm not like other guys," Michael Jackson sang in "Thriller," the 1982 hit song,video and album. That's for sure.

Actually, he didn't sing it. He said it. And only in the video. Also, while the album Thriller came out in 1982, the "Thriller" video was first shown in late 1983 and the song didn't hit the top 40 charts until 1984. Minor mistakes, to be sure, but not the best way to start an article.
