If you could buy stock in bands, you'd want to invest heavily in Yeah Yeah Yeahs options right now. Immediately after this Sunday's Super Bowl, Fox will air a new episode of its monolithic high-school melodrama ["Glee"](http://www.fox.com/glee/ ""Glee"" ). On the episode, the "Glee" kids will sing Michael Jackson's "Thriller"-- the first Michael Jackson song ever performed on the show, as Spinner reports. And for whatever reason, the show's makers have mashed the song up with the YYYs' similarly macabre jam "Heads Will Roll".

So, to recap: One of the biggest shows on TV, in its post-Super Bowl episode, has included one of the most iconic hit songs ever, and they've decided to mix it up with a relatively under-the-radar 2009 YYYs song. It's a good day to be Karen O. That iTunes sales bump should be huge.

You can hear the the show's hi-NRG mash of the two songs over at Spinner. Warning: Includes lots of howling. And just for the hell of it, watch the "Heads Will Roll" and "Thriller" videos below.
