Excellently said. Thank you. We know high school's are as pure as the driven snow; especially today, you can tell by their pure music that makes you frantically search for 2 ice picks, because a lifetime of silence it a better trade.
Oh yeah. It's a high school. He's remembering his high school crush several years after high school. "Years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine, And there's my homeroom angel, On the pages in-between" Supposedly there was some truth in the lyrics that he wrote. Off the top of my head I think it was 1981 and I can vouch that the style was way more 70's than full on 80's at that time. It took a few years to fully transition into leg warmers and pastels.
R.I.P. Jay Geils. This song came out in 1981. It was big in my high school days. Geils sounds like MILES. 😁 "Freeze Frame", and "Love Stinks" just to add his other popular songs.
Freeze Frame- BP here’s a J Geils Band song that u can add to your playlist. It is also mad catchy and was huge in the day! Top 5 USA music chart banger. Love to see you react to it!
Very catchy and also a really fun video. And the subject matter, although also related to photos of attractive women, does not cross into BP’s taboo subject matter so it could definitely make it on his playlist.
I even a had nightgown like one of the ones in this video - like an oversized long-sleeved shirt with a band around the bottom to hold close to the legs. It had the "General Hospital" logo on it. Those were the days.......
You crack me up, Pegasus! Listen again to the first stanza. He is talking about his "homeroom angel" as in the high school crush, the perfect innocent ("She was pure like snowflakes, No one could ever stain the memory of my angel") girl who remained untarnished in his memories. Until... "the years go by" and he opens a girlie magazine to see his "angel" as the centerfold! Fun song with a very catchy tune. Also, it is pronounced GUY-ls after the lead guitarist John Geils. The singer is Peter Wolf. They had a number of hits in the 1970s and 80s including "Love Stinks" and "Freeze Frame."
@@Adam-vs2in Oh how funny! I never thought the lyrics could ever be interpreted otherwise, and I was in high school when the song came out. I did double check, in case I've missed something hidden in the lyrics all these years, but indeed every source is clear on the reference being to a high school girlfriend or crush, not a teacher, who would presumably be too old after "years go by" to be a centerfold model.
He hasn't fallen for the centerfold. He discovers that his high school crush is a centerfold. Picture flipping through a Playboy and you spot the girl you had a massive crush on back in school is the centerfold. And pronunciation of Geils, the I is long.
My wife is always asking me why I like watching reaction videos especially the music that I like to listen to. And I told her it's because I am seeing people who are exposed to music that we grew up on, and they are getting excited by the music that excites me. So it's really cool to see you get into the '70s '80s '90s music that I grew up on. Fans like fake no more, Def Leppard, Warren, Beastie boys, etc. I am so glad that I stumbled across your channel. Keep it up
This is their 80’s MTV phase. They made their bones in the 70’s as the greatest Rock/Blues Live Band in the world. Listen to their live; Musta Got Lost, Whammer Jammer/Hard Drivin Man, Ain’t Nothing But A Houseparty.
Classic. What a great song, loving it...always did. "Love Stinks" is another good one. Also performed by Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer. Many didn't even know it's a real song sadly.
J Geils was part of the soundtrack of life for a lot of us. Great, great band. Peter Wolf is a rock legend. He was actually married to film star hottie, Faye Dunaway. Btw BP you gotta lighten up bro.
Love your channel. Just became a member yesterday. The song is about seeing his high school crush years later in a centerfold. But, what got me was what you said at the end about your issue. It hit me cuz I know exactly what you're talking about. I deal with it on a daily basis. It has screwed up relationships for me and everything. I was probably, no I was way too young to have found dad's stash. And yeah it does do something psychologically to a young kids head. Anyways, thanks for the reaction.
I grew up in a town of 250 people and a girl 4 years older than me that lived 3 miles from me, moved off her parents farm when she graduated high school. She moved to Los Angeles and became a Playboy Centerfold about 6 months before this song dropped!
They're from where I live Boston. The keyboardist lived right next door to my aunt in Belmont Massachusetts Seth Justman. My brother used to jam with them.
Peter Wolf is the Lead Singer, and one of the most charismatic leads out there. If you want one of the best examples of this, look for the live performance of "I Musta Got Lost." Make sure it's the live version, because Peter tells a ... little story at the beginning.
When I was a kid in school we used to do the pledge of allegiance every day in the morning before school started 💯💯💯 I only make this comment because you mentioned a flag in the classroom!!👍😉
I been waiting for you to do this one!!! I didn't think how real you would get with the messaging, but that's why we all follow your channel. Great reaction!! 40!
I can/did relate to this. all I could think of when I saw the photos of her in the magazine was "I saw that before anyone else. Thank you, Lord." My favorite song off that album is "do you remember when".
He’s talking about his high school crush from years ago. He finds her picture in a centerfold. You may need to look up the lyrics. He is not talking about being in high school now!
The J. Geils Band (hard "G", rhymes with Miles) had multiple hits. The song "Love Stinks" is my favorite. The singer is Peter Wolf. I believe the guitar player is J Geils.
There is a fairly large catalog of them. I recommend 2 that are a must: “Must Have Got Lost” (1977 Live Winterland version), and “Just Can’t Wait”. Edit: i have to add one more: “Come back”.
J Geils is one of the two greatest bar bands (Doobie Brothers being the other). Geils was one of the three best concerts I've ever seen. I don't care much for their radio play songs like "Centerfold". Their early stuff was amazing! Check out "Looking for Love". These guys tore the place down when I saw them live in 1972 (ish). The Hammond blasting through Leslie cabs was mind numbing.
I was at the age of just becoming aware of pop music when this was on the radio. Hearing it teleports me back to probably third grade gym class, when one of the boys was singing it. I knew it was naughty, but wasn’t really sure why. 😂
I’ve heard this song 200 times since I was a kid. Even had it on CD. First time seeing the video though. That was nuts 🤣 I completely agree though, the P word is as addicting as any other drug. It feels great kicking that habit though, especially being a family man personally I have a happier healthier relationship with the wife without the P word. Back when this song came out it was in the form of a magazine and TV. Now the devil gives it to you 24/7 on the phone. You can kick the habit through Christ though. God bless y’all.
The girl he had a crush on in high school he saw years later in a magazine. He's looking at her half naked as an adult, remembering crushing on her in high school. It's pronounced J. Guy-ells. One of the girl dancers is Martha Quinn. She was a big MTV VJ when MTV first started and was huge, and she did a cameo in the video.
This was from my first album, Freeze Frame, at the tender age of nine, a few months after its release in late 1981. Not 8-Track. Not cassette. Vinyl. And I still have it. This song was #5 on Billboard's Top 100 for 1982.
My fave part is where he laments how his childhood memories have been "ripped" immediately followed by "I guess I'd better buy it!" great humour More innocent times for sure. I remember the days when getting a peek at a top shelf magazine was a huge deal
It reminds you of good music from the early eighties and earlier! Great album named Centerfold with lots of great tunes from this band. Try "Love Stinks".
this is the first part (Come on [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine And there's my homeroom angel On the pages in-between) so yes its years after his high school days. also this songs is an 80s song
Also the live version 1979 of SANCTUARY! by The J. Geils Band! Loud ... this band is loud... and that's how you listen to it. Live performance, lots o' red lights. Loud, ear piercing rock Harmonica, baby! 🔴🔴🔴 It's an intense jam session. Go!
The one thing that really dates this: he's "looking through a girly magazine", and at the end "I guess I gotta buy it!" - this is coming from a time where you could actually find Playboy, etc. for sale without being sealed in a plastic bag.
I lived this story in real time when this song came out. An actress/fashion model went to my high school and was the best looking girl I'd ever seen and she was really nice. Then a few years later she posed for Playboy. I was shocked.
This is one of my favorite songs from Jay geils band. It means that he liked the girl during school then they graduated and then now she's in the centerfold if you really understand it deeply. Nothing to do with girls being in high school they left high School it was his girl that he liked during school and this is when they're older he's telling the story which from what I've heard it was based on a true thing about a girl that he liked in high school and then after they graduated can you open the magazine and there she was.
❤J. Geils Band. Love Stinks is EPIC. You always ask us "what did I miss" you missed dude remembering his homeroom crush......not college. Girls in Rap videos wear less close. Just a fun 80s song. He really gave off Mick Jagger Vibes.
A banger from some of the greatest times of high school, and trying to imagine all the cute gals that defined the "girl next door" theme. The video was made for the relatively new MTV generation where the video was just as important as the song.
The song is about discovering years later that his innocent high school crush has become a centerfold model in a girly magazine and he's trying to reconcile in his mind these two versions of this woman. The high school setting and the sexy girls is representative of their innocent youth and the reality of adulthood. I hope that makes sense. 😸This song is super catchy and was played on all the radio stations back in the day. MTV played the video a lot too.
Man first I love ya but sometimes you kill us Gen Xers with your pronunciation. LOL Whew, had to say that once.... I'm so glad you did this one! This came out my first year of Jr. High. We all loved the song but had no idea what a centerfold was. We were singing it in class when our teacher came in and lectured us. Telling all of us about how bad and nasty this song was and exactly what a centerfold was. I came home so upset told my Mom. She wasn't having that!!! We were just kids. She marched herself up there to complain. I don't know what she said all I know is that the teacher got fired for that. My Mom felt horrible she didn't mean for that to happen. LOL You didn't mess with my Mom. 😊 Things is when you listen to the song he's upset that his sweet high school crush ended up as a centerfold, ruined everything for him. It's actually very positive messaging. He thought she was a sweet girl loved her then boom that ....❤❤❤
He’s just an adult reminiscing about a girl he had a crush on in highs school bc he sees her in a centerfold magazine..she wasn’t one in high school..she’s an adult in a magazine and he sees her and is shocked bc she was a perfect angel he had a crush on 🤷♀️..I think it looks the way it does,also,bc it’s him dreaming about her..and you pronounce geils like Giles or smiles etc❤
This song is about a guy who had a crush on a girl in high school and some years later after graduation he saw her in an adult magazine. They hook up. It pronounce guy Iles.
Please! "11/5/77 J. Gail's Band - Must've Got Lost - Winterland" concert! YES!!! You got to hear the live version with the opening introduction when he tells you the story that leads into the song it's outrageous and their audiences participate top tier! If you search for it like I gave it to you in the quotes you will find it. Thx! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Geils. Rhymes with smiles.
Dude is an adult, years after his school days, when he sees his HS crush, as an adult, as a centerfold in a girly magazine.
Pay attention to the lyrics he's talking about his high school crush years later he sees her in a magazine
Excellently said. Thank you. We know high school's are as pure as the driven snow; especially today, you can tell by their pure music that makes you frantically search for 2 ice picks, because a lifetime of silence it a better trade.
He never really listens to all of the lyrics. They sometimes go past him.
Oh yeah. It's a high school. He's remembering his high school crush several years after high school.
"Years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine, And there's my homeroom angel, On the pages in-between"
Supposedly there was some truth in the lyrics that he wrote.
Off the top of my head I think it was 1981 and I can vouch that the style was way more 70's than full on 80's at that time. It took a few years to fully transition into leg warmers and pastels.

Nope this is high school. You missed the line that said years went by
hahahaha.
High school was so great!😂😂❤
I know he likes to do cold reactions, but should've read through the lyrics beforehand. It would've been far clearer.
This came out in September 1981. I was in my senior year of high school. The J. Giles Band was huge back then.
*Geils
Classic. What a great song, loving it...always did. "Love Stinks" is another good one. Also performed by Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer. Many didn't even know it's a real song sadly.
The guy remembers his high school crush. Years later as an adult, he opens a book and his old high school crush as a center fold.
Hes referring to years later after graduation when he discovers his high school crush grew up and posed in a magazine.
One of my favorite bands. They always sound like they’re having fun! Try Love Stinks or One Last Kiss.
J Geils was part of the soundtrack of life for a lot of us. Great, great band. Peter Wolf is a rock legend. He was actually married to film star hottie, Faye Dunaway. Btw BP you gotta lighten up bro.
"Those pages ended up sticking together" YOU'RE KILLING ME 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omg I didnt know I needed to hear this song today. 👍👍
Takes me way back to some great times! Goes to show you the 80's were so good
Love this song. The beginning makes my ears prick up every time. Great reaction as usual BP !! ❤✌🏻
Man this song came out way back in 1981, takes me back I was 20yrs old WOW 😲😲
Another great Boston band. J Geils himself lived just a few towns over from me.
Geils - rhymes with “Miles”. Love Stinks and Freeze-Frame are two other big songs of theirs.
They're from where I live Boston. The keyboardist lived right next door to my aunt in Belmont Massachusetts Seth Justman. My brother used to jam with them.
This was my very first concert I was 16 and where I fell in love with the Harmonica
Peter Wolf is the Lead Singer, and one of the most charismatic leads out there. If you want one of the best examples of this, look for the live performance of "I Musta Got Lost." Make sure it's the live version, because Peter tells a ... little story at the beginning.
They were billed just before the Rolling Stones in Wembley in the 80s.We all sang along.Good day .It was just fun!
Great band magic Dick is the harmonica player and he is a wizard!
It is what it is. Life was actually much freer back then.
When I was a kid in school we used to do the pledge of allegiance every day in the morning before school started 💯💯💯

One of the girls was Martha Quin...from MTV...she was a VJ for a good while there...the girl with the short haired brunette with a pixi haircut.
HIGH SCHOOL! I think I was 9 when this came out and loved it!
I can/did relate to this. all I could think of when I saw the photos of her in the magazine was "I saw that before anyone else. Thank you, Lord." My favorite song off that album is "do you remember when".
"Does she walk?...Does she Talk?...Does she cut the cheese?..." my 12 year old self singing along back in the day.
No - now I can't unhear this!
How I miss the 80's, this song was huge here in the UK, another great one for you to check out from '83, is The Tubes, She's A Beauty 🇬🇧
love this song Love stinks is good and freeze frame by them

The crush he had when he was a student ended up as a centerfold, many year later.
One of the first music videos I ever saw after months of calling my cable company to get MTV. Then shortly thereafter joined the Army. Great times.
There is a fairly large catalog of them. I recommend 2 that are a must: “Must Have Got Lost” (1977 Live Winterland version), and “Just Can’t Wait”.
Edit: i have to add one more: “Come back”.

My favorite J. Geils: Must Have Got Lost, Looking For A Love, I Do, and Where Did Our Love Go.
J. Geils made a song that is on my list of all time top ten songs, "I do". That is a catchy tune too.
How many #1 hits had whistling in it. One of the few right here ;)
I’ve heard this song 200 times since I was a kid. Even had it on CD. First time seeing the video though. That was nuts 🤣
I completely agree though, the P word is as addicting as any other drug. It feels great kicking that habit though, especially being a family man personally I have a happier healthier relationship with the wife without the P word.
Back when this song came out it was in the form of a magazine and TV. Now the devil gives it to you 24/7 on the phone.
You can kick the habit through Christ though.
God bless y’all.

It's about time!! Best concert ever !!! Females were fine. We were worthy!
Picture your high school sweetheart from senior year, then five years later you see her in a dirty magazine, this was a top ten hit.
It's a nursery rhyme.
"Na, na, nanana na, na nana na".
That's why you've heard it before!
Just got a big smile on my face. I suggested this one a few times! One of my favorites ☺️
Another really fun one is You May Be Right by Billy Joel
One of the greatest party bands of the 70s . If you saw them live in the 70s/80s you know what I mean...
Peter Wolf the lead singer was a DJ on Boston radio before landing the gig with the band.
This was from my first album, Freeze Frame, at the tender age of nine, a few months after its release in late 1981. Not 8-Track. Not cassette. Vinyl. And I still have it. This song was #5 on Billboard's Top 100 for 1982.
The 80's were a different time...Seriously I feel our generation grew up a whole lot faster than todays generation.
My neighbor liked J. Geils Band "Give It to Me" so much he threw a rock through my window to hear it better.
My fave part is where he laments how his childhood memories have been "ripped" immediately followed by "I guess I'd better buy it!" great humour
More innocent times for sure. I remember the days when getting a peek at a top shelf magazine was a huge deal
It reminds you of good music from the early eighties and earlier! Great album named Centerfold with lots of great tunes from this band. Try "Love Stinks".
When watching the video, I always look out for the break with that hilarious drumkit filled with milk detail 🙂
this is the first part (Come on
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Years go by
I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel
On the pages in-between) so yes its years after his high school days. also this songs is an 80s song
Also the live version 1979 of SANCTUARY! by The J. Geils Band! Loud ... this band is loud... and that's how you listen to it. Live performance, lots o' red lights. Loud, ear piercing rock Harmonica, baby! 🔴🔴🔴 It's an intense jam session. Go!

I was a high school teacher for over 30 years. There are US flags in every classroom. And the pledge is said every morning. (at least in my area)
J. Geils Band "Bloodshot" album is a banger. 🔥
So is the live album, Full House.
A Blast of a song from my teens.Thanks.
i was a junior in high school when this came out! it was huge! i actually new one of the girls in this video quite well!
Remember playing this in the car back in the 90s. Just singing away and my 4 year old asked "What is this song about?😂
I was a sophomore in high school when this came out. 1981 LOL! Oh the memories!
This is one of my favorite songs from Jay geils band. It means that he liked the girl during school then they graduated and then now she's in the centerfold if you really understand it deeply.

1981. Yeah, cusp songs often have the feel of the earlier decade.
❤J. Geils Band. Love Stinks is EPIC. You always ask us "what did I miss" you missed dude remembering his homeroom crush......not college. Girls in Rap videos wear less close. Just a fun 80s song. He really gave off Mick Jagger Vibes.
No doubt the ladles in the vid were thrilled to take part. MTV was brand new, and J. Geils Band was one of the biggest bands of the time.
A banger from some of the greatest times of high school, and trying to imagine all the cute gals that defined the "girl next door" theme. The video was made for the relatively new MTV generation where the video was just as important as the song.
Very catchy song.
The lead singer reminds me of Bob Geldof.
Similar mannerisms and he sounds like him too.
Huge song..1982..my senior year high school.
J GuyEls Band if that helps. Freeze Frame is another hit for them.

It was the 80's . One of my fav songs. I am an 80's chick
Song reminds me of my younger sister. Thank you ❤
Magic Dick turned in one of the most epic harmonica performances of all time on Whammer Jammer.

Please! "11/5/77 J. Gail's Band - Must've Got Lost - Winterland" concert! YES!!! You got to hear the live version with the opening introduction when he tells you the story that leads into the song it's outrageous and their audiences participate top tier! If you search for it like I gave it to you in the quotes you will find it. Thx! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
He said “years went by and I saw her in a girly magazine.” Not while in highschool
My first concert, Pine Knob just north of Auburn Hills
Their album Full House was great. Listen to Hard Drivin' Man. One of my favorites.
