Is it okay and doesn't sound like an error when spoken? (it will be still written "thriller" in the lyrics)

I know that for example "mister" can be "mista" when spoken.

I wish to get answers from native English speakers.
Sure, but it would be “thrilla” not “thrila”. Spelling it with one L implies a long I sound rather than the short I found in “thriller”.
