Thriller by Michael Jackson. It’s a great song but it wasn’t that popular and wasn’t really a single until after the video came out. If you were buying Thriller it was because of Billie Jean, Beat It, WBSS, etc. You could argue that the video is more popular than the song itself, so much so that they’ll overlook the lyrics and it’s place in MJ’s discography and creative evolution.
