I was intrigued when I saw the production notes for this song. I saw live drums by Alpha Simpson but I noticed that the person playing the guitar on this young at heart composition was an old head in one Kenny Phillips. Indeed the footprints of KMPMUSIC and Precision Production are stamped on this one. The song was written by Erphaan Alves, Machel Montano and Kasey Phillips.
These two production entities have clobbered the competition for the Soca and Calypso compositions this year. It appears that Kenny still has some youth running through his musical veins. This song is for fierce competitors - it won't go down well with the older heads but is just the right groove for the youth. This one will surely contend for the Road March!
Initially the beginning voice reminded me of the "last badjohn in Calypso' but that was the voice of Erphaan Alves who took the lead for this one. Machel seems to be everywhere and has added his sweet Soca characteristics to this one.
The theme is about having fun to be ready again with your hands in the air, rags in the air and just mad carnival dancing. They emphasize that it is that time again to wine again because we are 'Terrible'. Terror and Rebel gives you the title for this track Terrible. So you can say that you came to misbehave and get on bad or as they say in this one just get on "Terrible".
