A song so weedy that a light breeze would knock it flat, sung by an ineffably annoying cabaret turn in sequinned braces. The band's brash, lively songs and humourous videos portrayed everything that was exciting about the US rock scene in the 70s and 80s, and they gained a long-standing reputation as a fun and passionate live act The band originally formed in 1967, and went on to have a string of bigger US hits over the years until they split up in 1985, including "Love Stinks", "Freeze Frame" (a surpise hit over most of Europe), "Flame Thrower", "Land Of 1,000 Dances", "Rage In The Cage", and of course US chart-topper "Centerfold", which also went on to become the band's only major hit in Britain.

Geils, it has been good the last week or so to take in the whole tune, and his searing guitar solo. John from Comstock Park, Mi, UsaWith the recent passing of J. ![]()
