Hey, I remember when Playboy stopped putting staples through the centerfold! Not that I ever bought one... or looked at one. OK I read it for the articles.😇
It makes me feel real old thinking magazines have gone the way of the internet. But it's really refreshing to see younger generations groove on this music. Freeze Frame was a fun album. Another driver was "Flamethrower". Actually quite a few great ones on that album including Freeze Frame.
The song is about a guy (the narrator/singer) who has a crush on a sweet, innocent girl at school... then later sees HER as the centerfold in a magazine and his world is thrown off balance
Right here Jay ! This is your best explanation. He loved this girl back when they were in school. She was so sweet and innocent that's why he sees her as his "Angel". So of course seeing her as a magazine centerfold was enough to make his blood run cold. I love Peter Wolfe. You've gotta check out the other songs mentioned by them.
My 12yr old son in the next room....heard jayveetv intro & yelled " What's Jay reacting to now?" He hears this on my phone multiple times day & night! Lol...Mom in her happy place!
My mom wouldn't even let me listen to this song! I was 10 when it was out. Kinda hard to avoid it, because it was so huge... but yeah this was the only song I remember my mom banning from me. She even broke my older sister 45 when I snuck it to my record player. LOL!
Classic song. I'm an Uber and Lyft driver in Austin. About 2 years ago I gave a ride to Peter Wolf the lead singer of this group. He was really cool. I didn't recognize him of course but I knew he was somebody important because he was talking on the phone to somebody about setting up a meeting with meatloaf. This was during SXSW. Anyway we talked about several things and then he told me who he was at the end of the ride. Great experience
Ahhhh...another Night Ranger fan. I made a request for their music during one of Jay's livestreams awhile back. Hope to hear Sister Christian and maybe "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" and "Sentimental Street" too 👍😎
Ah yes, the J Geils Band. They had some really catchy songs that were fun to sing along. Hope you do Freeze Frame (and Love Stinks). Gotta go listen to Freeze Frame since that's now stuck in my head!
Btw I saw them live in concert and they were so loud I couldn't hear properly for about a week. Also another bit of trivia for you. Peter Wolf, the lead singer was married to Faye Dunaway at one time.
He starts of singing about his high school crush...then when he;s older discover's she's a centrefold model. when he open's the Magazine...and he cant believe it..he's shocked.
I saw it was from 1982, around that time Phd had a huge hit with I won't let you down. The singer later had another huge hit with I should have known better, his name was Jim Diamond. Can't seem to find any, normal, reactions on those songs.
Don’t forget these classics: Take It On the Run, Surrender, Loving Every Minute, High On You, She’s A Beauty, Little Willy, My Sharona, Don’t Bring Me Down, Bang A Gong, I Can’t Drive 55, and Human Touch!!!
Come on folks! I agree with the other requests “Love Stinks” and of course, “Freeze Frame.” Please tell me a lot of you remember “Flamethrower” as well.. surely. 🧡✌️
I actually know you're telling the truth because you called it a "book" instead of a magazine. I know for a fact that this is the term models use to refer to these mags. I spent 19 years of my life living with a model who had posed for a "book"!
It was a book....and i was only 16..the guy doing it could get in trouble so I don't say which one.i told him I was 18.and he never tried anything.he just thought I was beautiful.
Just waiting for your reaction!! There it is!!! Lil head Bob, chair dancing. Another one of those songs blared out "just riding around, and chillin".!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️🙋♀️
Total classic 80s song JoVaughn. Really hoping to get to you try out some more 80s alternative....Depeche Mode, New Order, The Smiths. And yeah, the pretty naked girl was the Centerfold "back in the day."
"Jo Jo" - "Too Late" - (She was only 12 years old when she recorded this song and only 13 years old when this song hit the charts - there are several videos, but the "Official Video" is best)
This was the third track (and first single) from the J. Geils (pronounced with a hard G) Band's 1981 album *Freeze Frame*, an album loaded with good songs (the title track, Angel in Blue, Rage in the Cage, Flamethrower, and Insane Insane Again were my favorites) that was popular in my senior year in high school.
I don't know much about centrefolds, but this song still gets played at parties. You could almost say it's timeless. I love the song - I've never seen the video, so we did dive into together. Great music, great reaction, J ❤️👌✌️
Going to a "Houseparty" in the "Night Time" at the "Detroit Breakdown" next to the "Southside Shuffle" It's gonna be a "Whammer Jammer" and a "Rage in the cage" so "Come Back" and "Give It to Me" I "Just Can't Wait" I went there "Looking for a love" but "I Musta Got Lost" because "Where Did Our Love Go" Maybe it got hit by a "Flamethower" because that "Love Stinks" .....I want "One Last Kiss" before I get "Love-itis"
Please go backwards and do 70’s J. Geils (pronounced Giles). Check out Homework, First I Look At the Purse, Detroit Breakdown, Musta Got Lost, and so many more. Peter Wolf is the singer and J. Geils was the guitarist. He died a number of years ago. Peter still tours with a new band playing his own music and J. Geils music.
I bought this 45 with my babysitting money back in the day. I'm so glad that I did because it introduced me to the great Peter Wolf 🐺. He's a DJ as well and knows his music as well. You take care and stay safe 😷
This song and “Freeze Frame” were popular songs played during roller skating. In small towns in the summer, ice rinks were defrosted and we roller skated around and around and around to tunes. Good times!
I love this song not because my name is Angel but because it has that nice 80s bouncy catch vibe. I still bump this today. It’s also a great Summer jam.
Now there's a blast from the past, always loved this song, always gets my foot tapping. 👌😎🎵 Yep jay you've come the correct realisation about the magazine centrefold lol.👌😄
At my first ever rock concert - back in 1970 - The J. Geils Band was the opening act. Their sheer energy and power blew the headline act (Mountain) off the stage. Next year, they were a headlining act. Centerfold was at the tail end of the recording career of the original line up (although I saw them 2 years ago, and they still blew the roof off the place).
Peter Wolf used to hang out with Van Morrison in Cambridge and Boston in the late 60s. Van was writing Astral Weeks in a dive apartment in Central Square. Peter Wolf was hanging at the Boston Tea Party and invited Van to guest on his WBCN FM late night blues radio show.
I love this love song, so fun! Peter Wolf is a very charismatic lead singer! I love his energy! He had a song called “Dancing in the Dark” which I believe was a solo effort! I think it’s so surreal that this generation doesn’t know what a centerfold is! Playboy magazine was famous for their nude or nearly nude centerfolds! Great reaction! ❤️❤️
the harmonica player is Magic Dick and when he comes out on stage he has a briefcase full of all styles of harps!! it's J. Geils...with a hard G...the singer is Peter Wolf..one of the most fun live shows I ever saw!!
hello dude I am glad that you found this pleasant song. Way back when, before the internet, the easiest way to find pictures of females dressed provocatively in negligees was in a paper magazine.
You said that he reminded you of another singer. To me, the J. Geils Band and their lead singer, who went by the name Peter Wolf made me think of the Cars and lead singer Ric Ocasek (rip) Not an exact match, but I could imagine them doing each other's songs.
My favorite song is LOVE STINKS 1980 video. It was released at the same time that my girlfriend, after two years of a very intense relationship, decided we should date other people just to make sure before we got married. She did but when I did she went ballistic. That is when I learned that women do not always mean what they say. On my way home this song came on the radio.
Going through my dad's playboys while he was at work, the centerfold WAS the highlight and the magazine page that went through the most wear and tear and was the first to rip out of the staple.
This entire album is hot. They slid from a mid 70s more R&B version of fellow Boston boys Aerosmith to more funky take on also Boston's The Cars. Keyboardist Seth Justman is the driving force on this LP, with a writing credit on all the tracks including production duties. This band has a deep, deep catalog (debut was in 1970) to mine.
I loved when you realized “He’s talking about THE magazines...” 🤣🤣🤣

The song is about a guy (the narrator/singer) who has a crush on a sweet, innocent girl at school... then later sees HER as the centerfold in a magazine and his world is thrown off balance
Exactly correct! "Those soft fuzzy sweaters, too magical to touch. To see her in a negligee is really just too much!"
his memories were literally sold
Yes, but he decides he still has to spend $4 to buy the magazine.
@@aj_aka_alan Oh no, I can't deny it. Oh Yeah, I guess I gotta buy it!!
Right here Jay ! This is your best explanation.
He loved this girl back when they were in school. She was so sweet and innocent that's why he sees her as his "Angel". So of course seeing her as a magazine centerfold was enough to make his blood run cold.

J, you'll enjoy their "Love Stinks" "Freeze Frame" and "Must Of Got Lost"
Love Stinks is a great palate cleanser.
i loved to listen that and Freeze Frame at Skating rinks
Angel in Blue is a one of my favorites . It's a sad tune , though .
Love stinks Love stinks

Good band. My favorites from them are Don't Tell Me You Love Me, Sister Christian, Goodbye, and When You Close Your Eyes.
@@JayveeTV Try to react to the official music video :)
It always reminded me of Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Whammer Jammer
Detroit Breakdown

I really like these guys - the album "Love Stinks" is fantastic, start to finish! "Just Can't Wait", "Come Back", "Takin' You Down"....
I forgot about "Come Back." Great song.
No anchovies Please.
This is a song that just makes everyone smile.
Love this song
Reminds me of being a kid and going to the skating rink lol
Mr too!!!
Yep good times !!!
Most definitely!
The girl he liked in school was a centerfold 🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾
You listen to the real music. I enjoy your channel. 😊
Back when cool videos were on MTV.
Ah yes, the J Geils Band. They had some really catchy songs that were fun to sing along. Hope you do Freeze Frame (and Love Stinks). Gotta go listen to Freeze Frame since that's now stuck in my head!
I never realized how silly this video was until now that I'm older.
Still fun though.

I always thought it was “my blood runs cold”. That’s an old saying.
I have not seen this video since it first came out so many decades ago and you are spot on about everyone singing the chorus to this.
Love this,, so many memories!
Good reaction - back in the 1980's when you could get away with non PC videos . . . great times.

Lol "those magazines ", the two popular centerfold magazines back in the day were Playboy and Penthouse.
