1984
was a very “Jackson” based year. The “Victory” LP was the final work to
feature all members of the Jackson 5 on one recording… Jermaine would
release his “Dynamite” solo album which produced the hit “Do What You
Do”… singles from Michael’s “Thriller” album were still scoring tons of
airplay, and little sister Rebbie hit #24 on the Top 40 and #4 on the
R&B chart with the track “Centipede”, written by big brother
Michael.
Being
a classic video game fan, I always daydreamed that this song was
written in tribute to the Atari arcade game of the same name. However,
despite still not knowing exactly what the lyrics mean, the Radio Dial
is happy to spotlight Rebbie’s biggest hit, a great forgotten single of
the ‘80s.
“When the time is really right, is when the centipede is crawlin'…
You'll be crying in the night so many tears… And you're crawlin' like a centipede”
You'll be crying in the night so many tears… And you're crawlin' like a centipede”
