Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection is a 71-track triple disc compilation album commemorating Michael Jackson's early years with Motown Records. The album features Jackson's four solo LPs from Motown (dating from 1971 to 1975), plus songs that were released after he left the company.
On June 12, 2009, Universal Music Group reissue label Hip-O Select announced on its Twitter page that the 3-CD set was now available for pre-ordering, with an announced shipping date of July 3rd, the same date the set would be released to retail stores. However, some copies were shipped before that, the earliest being June 26th, the date after Jackson's death.
The set was released digitally on iTunes on June 30th. The release date has caused some controversy, as some people think Motown used this release as a quick cash-in after Jackson's death (it is the fourth such album to be released). This rumor was denied by fans who said they were told in emails that the release date for iTunes were set in advance.
Solo Collection is a greatest hits album of Glenn Frey's solo career, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music).
A "Hello world" program is a computer program that outputs "Hello, world" on a display device. Because it is typically one of the simplest programs possible in most programming languages, it is by tradition often used to illustrate to beginners the most basic syntax of a programming language, or to verify that a language or system is operating correctly.
In a device that does not display text, a simple program to produce a signal, such as turning on an LED, is often substituted for "Hello world" as the introductory program.
A "hello world" program has become the traditional first program that many people learn. In general, it is simple enough that people who have no experience with computer programming can easily understand it, especially with the guidance of a teacher or a written guide. Using this simple program as a basis, computer science principles or elements of a specific programming language can be explained to novice programmers. Experienced programmers learning new languages can also gain a lot of information about a given language's syntax and structure from a hello world program.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.
Killing is a wonderful thing the power i feel when i'm murdering
Victimize your soul and put you on display a symbol of gods falability
Never ending patterns of dissolution take away life and death pulls you in
The beauty of bloodshed while i dissect among the cadavers that i collect
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
When the killing's over i admire my work an evil artists death desert
Inhale the stench of rotting flesh soon you'll decompose just like the rest
This is my gift to the father of lies i walk the earth in a human disguise
I've traveled here from the land of sin for life and the promise of death within
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
Cut you into pieces sew you back together eternal life in limbo part of my collection
Cut you into pieces sew you back together eternal life in limbo part of my collection
Cut you into pieces sew you back together eternal life in limbo part of my collection
Cut you into pieces sew you back together eternal life in limbo part of my collection
Down with the dead collage of degradation deaths eternal humiliation
Down with the dead collage of degradation deaths eternal humiliation
Down with the dead collage of degradation deaths eternal humiliation
Down with the dead collage of degradation deaths eternal humiliation
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Beaten bodies carried here a deamon feeding on your fear
My hideaway where hell is near down in darkness reaping fear
Come with me, into my shop of antiquity, and odd horrors
just a little further now
take your time, I will take mine
with your screams
You're tearing at the seams
too far, for society's ears, come down down to my lab,
to my lab, wear your skin,
like a tight black leather dress,
I'll wear your skin like a tight black leather dress,
now your hair and your eyes are all mine,
part of my experiments,
for the collection,
the collection,
down down down down down we go into this crypt of your decay,
the collection of human body parts,
the collection of human body parts,
take your time, I will take mine,
with your screams,
you're tearing at the seams,
the collection of human body parts,
the collection of human body parts,
the collection...
I'll take your eyes and nail em to the wall,
I think I smell the pigs,
they just they don't they don't understand,
my experiments,
I'll go to mexico and change my name,
go to mexico and change my name,
but my experiments will never cease,
will never never never be lost,
the collection of human body parts,
Don't forget who drives you onward Its your fear and need for revenge and we'll always be here watching always be here watching
My face will be the last thing your shriveling pupil glints before your essence becomes one with oblivion and then your soul is mine and then your soul is mine
Don't forget who drives you onward And don't forget who promises freedom in this world of many enemies and Have I forgotten my self? Have I forgotten your gift? Of madness
Don't forget who gave you purpose and don't forget who's watching over you and we'll always be here
My face will be the last thing you contemplate before I eviscirate your defenseless body like a sheep on a hook And then your soul is mine And then your soul is mine
Don't forget who gave you purpose And don't forget who watches you succeed in this world of many enemies and Have I forgotten my self? Have I forgotten your gift? Of madness
