Throwback of the Day: Centipede


One of my favorite of all time.

The two baselines, one quickly following the next, introduces a perfectly produced number of percussion and claps as hypnotic as well... magic. In my younger days this song felt like sin: desire stricken, pulsating, hot, alluring... much like chocolate cake. And though then I had no notion of its content (no shade: I'm still at a lost), I use to fall deep into the groove every time I heard the beat! So, even though, to this day, I'm unsure of the song's meaning, I still love it the same.

(By the way the song was produced by her brother Michael. Letoya sung backgrounds and additional backgrounds were sung by The Weather Girls, you know them, "it's raining men!")

The video, however graphically generic, showed how unbelievable beautiful Rebbie Jackson presented herself. It's a beautifully cheesy video. And my throwback song of the day!
