John Geils, the guitarist and leader of the J. Geils Band has passed away so we wanted to honor this musical legend with some of our favorite J. Geils Band songs... These songs are so nostalgic for me, taking me back to a time in and place in my life where things were very different. The J. Geils band's songs will resonate forever in my mind. They got me through some dark times and some good times but always got me through. Thank you for the memories... https://youtu.be/BqDjMZKf-wg Centerfold Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come complete? My homeroom homeroom angel Always pulled me from my seat She was pure like snowflakes No one could ever stain The memory of my angel Could never cause me pain Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold Slipped me notes under the desk While I was thinkin' about her dress I was shy I turned away Before she caught my eye I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby-blues Something had a hold on me When angel passed close by Those soft and fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch Too see her in that negligee Is really just too much My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold It's okay I understand This ain't no never-never land I hope that when this issue's gone I'll see you when your clothes are on Take you car, Yes we will We'll take your car and drive it We'll take it to a motel room And take 'em off in private A part of me has just been ripped The pages from my mind are stripped Oh no, I can't deny it Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it! My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold https://youtu.be/wHo43B6nu60 Freeze-frame I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday Slow-motion weekdays stare me down Her lipstick reflex got me wound There were no defects to be found Snapshot image froze without a sound Thursday mornin' was a hot flash-factor Her face still focused in my mind Test-strip proof-sheet love is hard to find Friday night, we'll dance the spotlight grind Stop-time heart for me if she's not mine Freeze-frame!
