Interesting note about the song on those Geico commercials
« on: July 23, 2009, 08:41:36 PM »
I'm sure everyone's familiar with that tune in the Geico commerical, the one that goes "I always feel like, somebody's watching me"...I did some research and found out it's actually a cover\remix of an 80's hit from Motown artist Rockwell ( son of Barry Gordy ) and the original hit features Michael Jackson on the chorus and backing vocals. Listening to it, I can't believe how addictive that chorus is. I never knew it was MJ that originally sang it.

Here's the remix thats on the Geico ad



and the original track, Rockwell feat. Michael Jackson

This guy aint no crip, and I'm 100% sure on that because he doesn't type like a crip, I know crips, and that fool is not a crip.

LOL yeah I'm kicking myself for not knowing about it earlier, I gotta brush up on 80's joints.

I guess because it's a MJ collabo which is rare, I think the only other noteworthy hit that MJ was on as a featured artist was Paul McCartney's "Say Say Say".
