For the longest time, I thought that Michael Jackson was singing about Eddie in the song “Smooth Criminal.”
“Eddie, are you okay?” Michael Jackson kept asking.
But it turns out that he was worried about Annie, not Eddie.
I looked at the lyrics online, and sure enough, it says Annie, not Eddie.
All this time, I was worried about Eddie, when I should worry about Annie.
But then, who’s Annie?
Well, reading the rest of these lyrics, she’s probably dead.
While Eddie should be fine.
Or so I assume.
If you’re listening to this, Eddie, let me know you’re okay.
