There are 3 or 4 moments in this song that strongly resemble House Music stomping beats and Techno/Rave-type hooks. These guys were musical visionaries...way ahead of their time.
everyone likes centerfold and freeze fame! this is definitive j. geils band! plus takes me back to happier times! im not happy so a little pick me up!
Yeah, I'm not like you turds, sure I'm a know it all who can bang your wife without a second thought, but I kinda wanna be like you happy schmucks, engage in small talk and all that happy bullshit you know?
GEILS DOES DISCO...Side 1, Track 2. This video cuts the song from the 5:11 running time found on the album. I still have my original LP (my first Geils LP - great artwork, remember?) and have NOT purchased the CD ever! Some albums just don't translate...
I actually saw the video on VH1 Classic but couldn't remember the name of it. Didn't realize it was on "Grown Ups" until I saw the movie again. But classic song.
this is my all time fav songs by them...tha harmonica part is qued with the keybord..this band did not get the fan base they should have b/c bands like bon jovi and others was big...so this band was considered underdog band....but fuck it i love em..
Caught the tail end of this song on Serius today, it had been at least 10 years since I even thought of this one. Had to look it up, thanks for uploading. Love the shoes and the fancy footwork P.W. did for this one.
I was singing this song the chorus part when watching grown ups....i had no idea what i was singing and who the group was, Something i heard when i was 7 or 8 years old in the 80's.My wife asked how did you know the chorus before they actually started singing it in the movie? i said i dunno!
thats a good point about the harmonica. but you could`nt have a guy that looks that cool in your band and not have him in the vid. right?......but im lol thinking that they just unpluged him.
@DeepSouthWrestling1 ... The harmonica is the long high pitch sound ya hear in the background... Doesn't sound like you would expect a harmonica to sound.. But that's it...
@DeepSouthWrestling1 ...that's why he got the nickname "Magic Dick"....I think he was in the band as eye candy for the girls. (he was a big 70s sex symbol) lol
This video is kind of silly though. There's no harmonica/harpsichord solo in the song so why is Magic Dick playing it? Couldn't he be playing cowbell or another instrument that sounds more natural w/the song?
Most classic rock stations today say this song is too disco for them to play which is why they don't think too highly of it anymore. Steve Dahl was one of those radio DJ's who didn't like this & probably still doesn't to this day. So this came out after Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey in '79 - who flippin' cares?! It's better than most of the pop crap that came out then like Air Supply, Christopher Cross, Cap'n & Tenille, Lipps Inc, Diana Ross & Michael Jackson. Did I miss anyone else?
@tryithere Are you asking me a question or are you just reciting the lyrics to Dahl's silly song?
I like this song & it's no more disco than say "Miss You" or "Emotional Rescue" by the Stones. I think the song rocks if you ask me. I always liked it.
Always LOVED how the JGB talent melded soooo perfectly in this great, indefinable (pop? rock? disco?) song. Stephen & John get it kick-started with a hard-driving beat and crunching guitar riff, Peter sings some strong but plaintive vocals, John gives us a tasty, screaming solo, then Dr. Funk himself (Danny) and Seth carry us out with a nice, punchy bass & synth counterpoint ending. WOW, what a great and memorable way to start the '80s !!!!
