Check out the announcement for the release of Fedora 8:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-November/msg00006.html

To the tune of Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

It's close to midnight and something cool is coming through the "tubes"
It's looking real tight, a distro for the experts and the n00bs
With Live CDs* so you can try it out before installing
Or DVDs so you can have the packages you choose
No way to lose

'Cause it's Fedora, Fedora 8
We'd love to have you join us and together we'll be great
Using Fedora, Fedora 8
Just click the link and rescue your computer's future today

Click the link to read the whole thing. :P

Actually that's the official release announcement. I have heard they always do something wacky for new releses. This is the first one I've seen though.

Then its the result of marketing people trying to justify their continued employment. RedHat has to do something to pull people's eyes away from the latest release of Ubuntu. And you certainly can't go wrong with "Thriller."
