Centipede

An arthropod containing many legs. Contrary to the name, they only have about 50-60 legs depending on the size of the specimen. The largest species in the world is the Amazonian Giant Centipede (Scolopendra Gigantea) and the largest species in the United States is the Giant Desert Centipede (Scolopendra Heros). Although the venom is not as potent as that of a rattlesnake, the bite is known to be very painful. However this centipede is very doscile (idk how to spell it) and does not run into humans that often. Most bites have occurred either on purpose, or when the creature was trying to be free handled. So the chances of taking a bite while minding your own business is slim to none.

"Centipede" is also a Dubstep song by the Australian electronic music duo Knife Party from their 2012 album Rage Valley. Among its release, it hit #47 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs. It's been featured on notable video games including Guitar Hero Live and Beat Saber

Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission Breakout!

Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission Breakout! is an accelerated drop tower dark ride in Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, California. Based on characters from Marvel (mostly from the Guardians of the Galaxy films), it depicts Rocket recruiting guests to help free the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy form the Collector's Fortress. The ride was previously The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror but was re-themed as Guardians of the Galaxy in 2017, however, in Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando Florida, it is still themed as the Tower of Terror. A fun trick to do on this ride: when you're dropping down, hold a coin in your hand and watch it float off your hand. This happens because the huge motors that are used on the ride pull you down a little bit faster than a freefall.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission Breakout! has six randomized drop programs or sequences, each one has a song associated with it
I Want You Back by The Jackson 5
Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar
Give Up The Funk by Parliament

Free Ride by The Edgar Winter Group
Burning Love by Elvis Presley
Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf
