Yo, this track was the bomb diggity. Did any of you have the album? Is it any good? I'm assuming it's out of print. How can I get my hands on this? Was the album more or less like the single?

i know that's so 90's.

dancerella said:

But "Centipede" is so 80s. It doesn't quite match.

I still have the 7". Michael did a good job on that song.

ok, how about like that song is so rad, dude?!

Bomb diggity aint got nothin' on funky fresh

In college,
I held the top three high scores to the Centipede games in the student lobby for about a year an' a half.

Rebbie (Maureen) was the finest Jackson girl. Have y'all seen her on The Jacksons variety show back in 76' and 77' she was fine.

haha the video game

I think in 1998 she attempted a comeback and I think both VH1 and BET had her back and played her nice pop single "Your Faithfully". I think the album had "Centipede" on it and might have been a hits/best of album with half new tracks kind of thing.

this song!

Yes, it´s also on the "yours faithfully" album.

dag said:

I looked on Amazon, assuming that album was no longer in print but dirt cheap...wrongo! It sells for close to sixty dollars! It is available on Itune, track by track.

Is that cd worth getting is it any good??

Background vocals on this song by miss Martha Wash!

Eh? It's about £2 in the bargain bins over here.

really? damn i wish i could get my hands on that.

It´s an average pop/soul/r´n´b album with few really nice tracks. There´s also Rebbies version of Fly away, which I think is the best song on the album, although I prefer Michael´s. It´s fresher. This one´s too slow. It has Mike´s background vocals on it - really nice.

the video for this song is fucking hilarious. I used to think it was so cheesy, but nowdays I love it.

"Centipede" is a superb song.I love the chorus.When he wants to,MJ can write and produce a spectacular song

dancerella said:

Not sure..I don't own it. After this thread I got the wake up call to see how much it is. It might be cheaper on Ebay (I'm sure they must be selling a new copy for that much on Amazon). I don't think the album was supposed to be a greatest hits..."Centipede" is apparently updated. BTW, to Tom and others, you can also buy the video for "Centipede" online! I would, but it would take forever to download and it doesn't play very well on my computer.

Update!

I just downloaded "Centipede" from Itunes and the verison on "Yours Faithfully" isn't an "update" (at least I don't hear any difference at all,,,could be that Itunes got hold of the original, which is why it's track by track, but I doubt it...the reviewer was probably just wrong). "Yours Faithfully" can be found at a decent price but you won't like where it's available....WalMart.com...so is it worth it?

This song is cool cause it sounds like something Prince woulda wrote for one of his female "proteges", only better.

I have to agree, and I love the Prince protege tracks! I think this just might be Micheal Jackson's best song...is that crazy?

VinnyM27 said:

Heartbreak Hotel (This Place Hotel) is probably his best compisition; a more sophisticated Billie Jean.

It's catchy, but the lyrics are really weird if you think about it. Why compare sexual attraction to a disgusting bug?

That track was the stuff.

DavidEye said:

hell yeah! i wish he would continue to write and produce more stuff like this.

does anyone know if there's a compilation out there of various jackson family members singles? there really should be one.
