@bigdsjukejoint: Released in September 1984, "Centipede" is a glorious, wonderfully weird slice of mid-80s electro-funk. It served as the debut single and title track for Rebbie Jackson—the eldest of the famous Jackson sibling dynasty—who was 34 years old when she finally stepped into the solo spotlight. Lyrically, the song uses the bizarre, creepy-crawly metaphor of a centipede to describe a lover who has an intoxicating, hypnotic hold over someone. "A centipede am I, and I'm lonely tonight / Just like a centipede that's crawling in the night / I'm gonna catch you in my web..." It remains an incredibly fun, high-energy artifact of the 1984 electro-funk movement and a reminder of just how deep the musical talent ran in the Jackson family. #tiktokmusic #fyp #bigdsjukejoint #90svibes #rebbiejackson
