Subject: Commercial

There's this commercial, I sort of remember, sometime in the 80's. I think it's about teenagers at a Michael Jackson concert, or in a crowd, with Michael Jackson music playing, I think Beat It, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it turns into a drinking and driving commercial, I think.
Does anyone else remember this? And maybe when it aired? It's been bugging me...

I think I remember this commercial, it sounds vaguely familiar. I would guess it would have aired some time after that song came out? Maybe later that year or the next. Did a set of keys drop to the floor in that commercial by any chance?

No, I remember it. as soon as the key turned in the ignition, lightning seemed to strike and all in the car turned into skeletons :o (and this was a good 20 years before Pirates Of The Caribbean). Then the voice-over said,
"If you don't stop your friends from drinking and driving, you're as good as dead.
Drinking and driving can kill a friendship."
I think I rembember the ad giving me nightmares, which may even explain why I don't drink to this day. Still, I'll never understand why there are still people out there who don't get the message.
Your pal,
Doc

Oh cool. The thought of skeletons was in my head, but I thought it might've been another commercial.
Thanks.
