Watch President Obama Sing “Purple Rain,” Dance to “Thriller” With Michelle

Yesterday, the Obamas celebrated their last Halloween at the White House. While handing out candy to children, President Obama encountered a pint-sized Prince, and he couldn’t help himself: He sang some “Purple Rain.” It was not, however, the Obamas’ only ’80s tribute moment of the day. Barack and Michelle also gave a restrained performance of the iconic Michael Jackson “Thriller” dance. Watch the Obamas take on Prince and MJ below.
