Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Century City Comments
  1. J.... P....

    Tom's most rockin song? I love it.

  2. W.... G....

    this album stands the test of time i love when tom says in century city everythings happening

  3. B.... ....

    Been to Century City ( I'm from Italy) once.....Nothing special

  4. J.... K....

    Will this play for me? Seems like. Honey Century City's got everything covered.
    Tom Petty knows all about it. Hollywood hills, damn the torpedoes.
    You can mash up southern rock 'til you're blue in the face but this is the best.
    Even better than Cheap Trick or Aerosmith.

  5. J.... B....

    Man was SICK live. Saw him on the "Let me up I've had Enough" Tour R.I.P.

  6. M.... D....

    I have the best 2 favorite choices of music megadeth and Tom Petty

  7. J.... K....

    Think I'd vote for any republicans? Skip the trump ads.
    I'm a Jimmy Carter Democrat and always vote that way.
    We're a simple peanut farming southern family.
    This is Century City. We got everything covered.
    Tom's gone now but laid it down just like this since
    the '70s. What, doesn't everyone love this song?
    It never lasts for too long, always goes away. It's that West LA
    twitch back again to haunt me.
    Sometimes I get discouraged but then the Rabbi comes out of his church and
    says it'll all be okay. Just like Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies.
    Sure I've posed as a corpse in numerous movies, roadkill.
    Of course I'm typecast as a corpse. Barbra Feldon cares so much about me
    she comes out to Wilshire to scrape me up with a spatula when I get run over by an suv.

  9. D.... ....

    Sometimes I get discouraged
    Sometimes I feel so down
    Sometimes I get so worried
    But I don't know what about
    But it works out in the long run
    Always goes away
    And I've come now to accept it
    As a reoccurring phase

    Ain’t that the truth

  10. J.... K....

    Everyone loves Century City. Honey we got everythin' covered.

  11. R.... S....

    bottom line what a rocker

  12. T.... C....

    Saw Tom in 78. Awesome

  13. L.... ....

    Dana York Petty's son Dylan had some of the lyric of this tattooed on his arm. To remind him not to be overcome by worry. One of my favorites from Damn The Torpedoes. The now long gone publication Radio & Records had it's 1979 Convention at the Hotel on Century Blvd. We spent a few days living in Century City. Not a "B" side to me.

  14. N.... L....

    True Story:
    I first heard this song when I was 20 years old. Got the album for my Birthday in July. This song made me drive to Century City (near Santa Monica & Hollywood) and just drive around playing this song over and over really loud. I had a 67 Mustang I had bought from my cousin a year earlier. As I’m cruising around, I spotted the Playboy club. So I stopped in and asked how I could become a member. The bunny at the door told me I had to be 21 and over to join. But then she whispered in my ear... “Just buy s copy of the magazine and mail in the card. They don’t bother with checking ID on mailed application. So I went right over to a liquor store, tore out the paper application, sent it in with the fee, and three weeks later I was back at the club (dressed really well) and walked right in with my brand new Playboy Key Card. I was then told that I was entitled to either a free copy of the magazine, or a cocktail (a ONE SHOT deal) so I took the drink. I ordered a scotch on the rocks because I knew nothing about drinks and alcohol (and Scotty on ‘Star Trek’ drink only scotch). I thought it was just awful. The next drink I ordered was a Martini (vodka) and that was worse. So I want to thank Tom for introducing me to both Century City and alcohol. You were and still are my hero!

  16. j.... z....

    Sometimes I wanna leave you
    Sometimes I wanna go
    Right back where I came from
    Back where I belong
    But it never lasts for too long
    Always goes away
    Well I still don't look for reasons
    That's much too hard these days

    Why worry about the rain?
    Why worry about the problem?
    Honey Century City's got everything covered

    Well your mama gave you lovin'
    Mama held you near
    Baby mama can't do nothin'
    Honey mama just ain't here
    And you can pretend all you want to
    But that won't work no more
    No you can't run back to daddy
    Yeah you tried that once before

    Why worry about your father?
    Why worry about your mother?
    Honey Century City's got everything covered

    We're gonna live in Century City
    Go ahead and give in, Century City
    Like modern men, modern girls
    We're gonna live in the modern world

    We're gonna live in Century City
    Go ahead and give in, Century City
    Like modern men, modern girls
    We're gonna live in the modern world

    Sometimes I get discouraged
    Sometimes I feel so down
    Sometimes I get so worried
    But I don't know what about
    But it works out in the long run
    Always goes away
    And I've come now to accept it
    It's a reoccurring phase

    Don't worry about the rain
    Don't worry about the problem
    Honey Century City's got everything covered

    We're gonna live in Century City
    We're gonna live in Century City
    We're gonna live in Century City
    We're gonna live in Century City

  17. H.... N....

    The scream before the guitar solo is so classic... never gets old!

  18. k.... ....

    I indoctrinate my kids with a love for Petty by playing them a new song most nights at bedtime. This was tonight's, and it's my 8-yr-old boy's new favourite!

  19. l.... m....

    maybe it's just a bad dream. We'll all wake up and Tom'll be OK....................

  20. L.... D....

    God Rest You, Tom Petty Angel <3!

  21. X.... H....

    I don't get the Pink Cadillac comparisons. I like Bruce and that song too, but this (and a lot of Tom's early music) has way more of an aggressive hard rock edge than Bruce did

  22. G.... M....

    Huey Lewis and the News ripped this song off when they did " I want a new drug "

  23. J.... J....

    Damn the Torpedoes was an underrated album compared to the heartbreakers debut album from 1976....imo

  24. M.... L....

    even his B sides were better than everybody else's songs-love him

    M.... L....

    Mark Lilley he was SO awesome! We lost a great one when we lost him😢

    M.... L....

    Sooooo True His 1st 5 Albums are incredible

  25. D.... B....

    It's were he made the Album

  26. R.... K....

    Killer Guitar by Mike Campbell

    R.... K....

    Mike Campbell is Extremely Underrated

    R.... K....

    @John Buckley and damnit if he isn't one of the humblest people in rock. I saw an interview where he described his guitar playing as just "serving the song". If his guitar playing is just "serving the song"....than the polio vaccine was just a mild pain reliever

  27. R.... K....

    RIP Dear Tom Petty....💘

  28. A.... S....

    I came here because of Californication

  29. R.... P....

    Thank you Jaqueline Miles. Grrrreat song from legendary artist/album with well deserved placement on Rolling Stone Magazine's the 500 greatest albums of all time.

  30. r.... ....

    My first impression of this song was that it was a Pink Cadillac rip-off. But since this song never got any radio play, I guess there is not much point in a lawsuit.

    r.... ....

    rangepuppies made 6 yrs before pk

    r.... ....

    pink cadillac came out in 1984 , 5 years after Century City

  31. P.... B....

    I stii love you Tom. ! Pamala Petty. I'm ready to move honey!

  32. m.... ....

    reminds me of Pink Cadillac

    m.... ....

    Century City came out 5 years before Pink Cadillac.  So if you think they sound similar, Pink Cadillac should remind you of Century City, not the other way around.  On the other hand, Petty's "Dogs on the Run" does sound a bit like "Born in the USA", but that's probably just a coincidence as both albums were being recorded at roughly the same time (Springsteen's did come out first though).

  33. t.... ....

    Hahaha did they really put that weird little laser intro on the record?

    t.... ....

    turoniner they have a lot of weird intros to their songs on this album

  34. s.... ....

    where the lawyers live

  35. F.... V....

    @pavoman23 i used to think that ´refugee´ was a dylan song, until i bought this great album

  36. A.... R....

    @pettyspringsteen312 I saw your name, and I was literally like "Oh crap" xD
    But I'm not trying to be a dick, but I don't like it when people compare Tom and Bruce. I DO NOT see any similarities between the 2

  37. A.... R....

    I can't believe a critic said this song was a Springsteen-wannabe. Pfft, Born To Run my ass, more like Born to Suck

    A.... R....

    Fuck Bruce Shitsteen

  38. E.... ....

    @screwyootube1 I've seen him probably four times, but I don't remember him doing CC either.

  39. s.... ....

    OMG, the end is cut off! Now I have to get the CD out! This has a KILLER ending!

  40. s.... ....

    @Exilemainstreet Their greatest album, IMHO! Love all of their catalog, but this one was my first! And this is my favorite song of Tom's! Too bad I've never heard him do it live! I've probably seen him in concert 10x in my lifetime, but he never did Century City! Oh well... I'll always have the studio version! Thanks for posting this!

  41. t.... ....

    @gracesong312 it happens.

  42. E.... ....

    Torpedos had everything! The band must have been so excited when they released it and watched it go up the charts!
