Come Back by J. Geils Band

[DaveWollenberg]

Gang, could ya please make your comments WITHOUT havin' to use cuss words? Little kids imitate what they read!

[dinnerout2]

I'm 45 years old and this song still makes feel like getting my ass bumped all over again on New Years Eve 1982 !!!!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

The Geils band hit #32 in Billboard, 3-22-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

I got this record in my closet and I'm 19 nbd. Yeah I'm the coolest guy alive.

[tarheelredbone43]

love this song!! one of my favorites from my high school years, 1979 thru 1982

[beckyhammonbest]

The ONLY reason I chose dislike is because it's the damn 45 rpm chopped to shit version! Why not the ALBUM version??

[lineba20]

@beckyhammonbest I agree. The album version is much better.

[arjackson1000]

Heard this song way before Grown Ups!!!!!!!!!!!

[gtatix]

This was the first "rock song" I was introduced to when I was about 13!

[sunnydaze1997]

did anyone else know this song before grown ups?

[boyfriendsgirl]

@sunnydaze1997 I remember not only, but this album when I was 15!!!!

[arjackson1000]

@sunnydaze1997 Yes!!!!!!!!

[natebham]

the movie Grown ups sucked

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow I am your daddy and don't you forget that little boy. Don't make me send your mommy into your little room to spank you...but again, that would be the only female action you'd get. It's bedtime...and stop playing with your puppy's penis.

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow You're so cute...little boy. Gosh....you make me wish I was a faggot. But, I'm not. Since the best you can get is little boys, I'll offer my male puppy for your sexual pleasure. Can you handle my puppy's dick? Your mommy won't object to you fucking a male puppy instead of her? Will she? You appear to be a proud faggot and bestial. I'm jealous. Can I fuck your mommy the same as you?

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow It's so good to hear from you again. I missed you BUTTERCUP!!!! It's comforting to know that you recognize yourself as a "fuckin faggot." You started this activity and now you're trying to justify your femininity...how cute. Are you still suckling your mommy's tits? You even used the word "cum" instead of "come". Your terminology bespeaks your intentions. Your channel (teehee) shows your sexual escapades with your sister and momma. So sad.....

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow Hello buttercup...do you still want to pretend you had the last laugh? That's so cute. Look at the history of the comments, everyone will see you as nothing more than a coward. You make disparaging comments and disappear. The evidence speaks for itself. Goodbye buttercup and good luck with your mommy fetish. And, keep using the upper case letters, I'm sure it makes you feel like you're special. Oops, my bad, I forgot, you are special. Goodbye Coward.

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow Hello Buttercup....I'm back. You never responded to my last comment. You started this whole affair in making some very rude obnoxious comments that you could not defend. When called out, you resorted to name calling and disparaging comments...and, all of sudden, like a coward, you disappeared. Why? Where are you buttercup? You obviously have a mommy fetish...

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow Is mommy going to hold your hand little boy??? You're mad again,aren't you? You've learned how to use upper case letters..that's so cute!!! You accused me of hate mongering!!!! Not only are you a lttle boy redneck pedophile who practices beastiality and has a mommy fetish, but you're also a hyporite. 

[smsrobertks]

@americantear hey,i thought i was the only red neck practicing beastality on here!lol....you go trixy,,,,



[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow You are a sad pitiful little boy. Are you still playing with your little wee wee? Are you mad because your mommy spanked you too hard?

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow Is that the best you can do?? You're not only a pedophile, but you're a redneck who has a fetish for mommy. You're mad aren't you????? Your mommy caught you last night giving the pet dog a blow job and it turned you into a bitter little boy. You play with your little wee wee while fantasizing about you mommy. You feel lonely don't you??? Your mommy and the pet dog is the best you can do. So sad!!!!

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow You called me SON!!!! I feel so special. Your own words bespeak you affinity for children. The best pussy you can gotten is your momma but proclaim a big DICK when exposing it to your SON. Do you expose yourself to your daughter and other children? You need to be arrested. You SICK BASTARD!!!!

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow You should be ashamed in talking about your momma that way. It's a shame the best pussy you've gotten was your momma.

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow You should be ashamed in talking about your momma that way.

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow It's a shame that your MOUTH could not handle the rose when she tried to stick it up your asshole.

[americantear]

@trixiesaysmeow It's a shame she tried to stick her Rose in your mouth but your mouth couldn't handle it. Your mouth must be quite the shit eater.

[CaptNemo100]

Great song, but the album version is even better! This is the 45 version.

[NWFWMbudwieser]

When music was fucking music. God I grew up in the wrong time.

[4yules]

this song epitomises everything that jgeils was great 4 ..hard rock pop/synth/soul/funk/original sound ...they were destined to b huge and they were

[4yules]

this song epitomises everything that jgeils was great 4

[Doobie1975]

Great song, would love for the full length version to be on ere, I've discovered this song back in the mid 90s and it took me many years to realize who the artist was but knew it had to came out around 1980 or so

[mykle2112]

Cant find " Taking you down " anywhere.. a little help?

[sladest72]

2 people never came back!

[Norskygutt]

"Love Stinks" is a great album filled with great memories. While I don't care for the condensed version of the song (I call it "K-Tel-ing" if anyone is old enough to remember K-Tel Records squeezing in so many songs from a variety of artists that they had to be condensed to fit), "Come Back" is one of my all time favorites from J. Geils.

[MrCaster234]

What a hit!

[roopman59]

Wow, After watching grown ups I went into my old crap and yup.... Still have the album

[davedawave100]

@keith81081 1980

[dcfanchris]

Love J.Geils Band and I'm only 16.

[SawGoreMen]

They Should Make A grown ups 2

[VicGeorge2K6]

I want to hear the original full-length version of this song, which this isn't.

[amillioncars]

This is by far the best song they had

[187beastmode4]

Love it.

[sk8t3rgirl98]

GROWN UPS rocks i lov this song LOL<333

[michaellovesthecat]

[redthunderhammer]

[Pinhead554]

I'm a J. Geils Band fan and had never heard this song before Grown-Ups. I have since then developed an undying love for this song!

[skidoofever]

@Pinhead554 me too but that movie could have been so much better

[celestitaa100]

Grown Ups ♥

[smithsmithdt]

[SuperFlanders123]

[SuperTimebandit]

[ttownsticks]

YEAH-> nice pick ->/MelindaBlue

[domzbischoff]

Rock'n Roll!!!

[fallingdutchman]

Grown Ups FTW

[intensetornado]

This song spans generations. Even my grandmother used to love to cut a rug to this one. Song brings back many memories.

[gustavogomessporting]

epic song

[psychodelicide]

Forgot all about this song, until I heard it on the radio today.  Of course, I just had to find it on youtube - lol!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

WHATTA JAM FROM THE PAST LOVE IT! THANKS tenaciouspeaches

[tonylinc]

sound quality is great, thank you so much.

[ferbert716]

Love does stink.

[rgbchivas77]

I had totally forgotten about this song till I saw the Adam Sandler movie "Grownups" and they played it at the beginning.Loved it in the 80's,love it now!

[claux23]

This version is far too cut up to be enjoyable.

[THRILLAKILLA187]

how could you not love this song or j.geils band to the 2 they musta been dropped on their heads !

[xlrenzx]

This song is in the very beginning on the grown ups movie

[RubyLovesTomDonnelly]

I Love it~~~

the song is clear and I love it~~~so what if there is no vid~~~

thanks for sharing~~~~

[breedrt]

Boston Boys Rock baby!!!

[buchananstreet]

god, what sell outs they also were

[Sincopare]

@buchananstreet bullshit. This album is chock full of hard-hitting R&B as only Geils could do. Sure they had a few pop songs to pay da bills. You got a job? Know what it's like?

[phactreerat]

If anyone has any Monkey Island songs they would like to post....feel free!

[TheTOMCAT66]

@phactreerat That's such an awesome album so glad I still have my copy!!!!!

[4yules]

trying not to think about it ...hehe its on side 2

[carouselgal]

Wow! This song brings me back to high school! Love these Boston boys. Can someone post the 5 minute version?

[gertzadek]

Not bad. But I like the original 5 minute version bettter.

[orangeviolins]

Sweet tuneage...

[rmaxinmass]

Great tune! Love this disco style stuff that a lot of established rockers were doing back then. I.E. Shakedown Street from G.D. and Emotional Rescue from the Stones. Oh and who could forget Kiss doing I Was Made For Loving You?

[sovietsword]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

ZOMG!

[finefilth]

Where did the time go......

[fizzazzle]

I think this song was on an episode of Buck Rogers

[JZimm8787]

Would love to see the actual video, but this was by far their best song.

[zeets93]

mmm Tryin' Not to Think about it is better ...still a great tune

[cp3031]

Love IT. Heavy!!! Nostolgic

[lidodecklinda]

J. Geils is COMING BACK to Detroit this weekend!!!! Can't wait! Oh, the memories from the late '70's to the early '80's (Centerfold, Freeze Frame, etc. EXcluded - they were JUNK in comparison)! Motor City Shakedown, THIS!

[shelibeli40]

I agree totally!! I LOVE J. Geils but hated those crappy songs! Hope u had fun!!

[lidodecklinda]

Didn't go.... by the time I found out they were coming, the shows were sold out. Tickets were going on Ebay/Stub Hub for ridiculously high prices. :-(

[momme2myboys]

OMG! Make me feel old now....LOL But, still love the SONG! It brought me to J Geils...

[Thistlesifter220]

1:36 - 2:09

[NewShimmer]

Setn Justman does a great job with the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer on this one. Notice the phasing in the sustained notes, most likely done through leaning into the keyboard and using the poly-pressure.

In the solo, towards the end, there are the pitch bend glides. Probably done with the CS-80's unique ribbon controller.

I wish somebody would come out wih an affordable midi controller that has the multi-channel aftertouch (pressure) and ribbon controller of the 33 year-old CS-80.

[Dougster]

... uhhhhhhhhh,

Yea, right on brother!?!?!

[ruki4362]

This song that I was awakened to "Rock"!

As for this music, an album is the best

[americantear]

This song brings back fond memories. I remember dancing with this lady I was so infatuated with - I was 21, she was 25.

We danced the night away. She was a florist and told me we could never be anything more than a one night stand - due to the age difference.  The night was magical at pier 94.

[Pika740]

@americantear

Four years isn't a large age difference....

[easttexaspcrepair]

@americantear Typical Friday or Saturday night for me in the 80's.

[nalc892]

I absolutely adore the front cover here...young Republicans in love.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

ANYONE GOT THE MUSIC VID TO THIS

[CSIchik]

This is one of my favorites by J. Geils Band. I saw an laser light show back in the 80's done to this song. It was cool. This song is great to listen to when driving.

[MissDeb2008]

Wow, once roller skating was mentioned, it all came rushing back to me. When this was really hot, we were roller skating fanatics. This song reminds me of good times, being a teenager and not worrying about stuff all the time. I wish I could revisit that time, even for just an hour! This song is awesome. Now I think I'll check out one last kiss.

[LoneTrooperNE]

Wow, I guess we all did a lot of the same things back then. I used to rollerskate in competition (freestyle) and we used to get the rink to ourselves after public session was over and we CRANKED this song and a bunch of others before the team captains would bust us and make us practice.

God I feel old now...39.

[robertc987]

Love all the old stuff. Reminds me of roller skating...

[mattkaslow]

Seems that nearly every major rock band from the early eighties tried their hand at disco: Kiss, Queen, the Stones, and yes, J. Geils.

[midnightfox4u]

this reminds me when i was 17. good rollerskating music yee-haw

[virgsimp]

I took my kids to see J Geils whenever they were in SF.. One time Fay Dunaway was in the wings watching her then husband Peter Wolf perform. Crazy Huh! The best band ever.

[Syzygy60]

I liked this album

[rin3guy]

This great song reached #32 in 1980. IMO, this one was just as great as "Centerfold"!

[oOoLuLaOoO]

good

[mrdreamwhip]

j geils kicked ass and we partied to this shit all night long. detroit was big on dudes and they even recorded a live record there... saw them many times. roosevelt stadium in nj was with kiss, ted nugent, bob seger etc.

[hellomalcolm]

best party band ever.

[Maxharddrive64]

COME BACK.........to DETROIT! J GEILS BAND! Your second home....

[wjv4me]

I second that-come back to tour the USA J.Geils Band WITH Peter Wolf-sure miss ya,

loved ya in Chicago, hope you come to CA now too!

[acdc47]

Come to RI, me and my friend would kill for tickets and we're 14 yr old J geils fans

[wjv4me]

Very cool! I think Peter Wolf is touring with Kid Rock a bit. Try this site-key the names and you'll see. Good you're not rappers!

[midnightfox4u]

good rollerskating song .yeahhhhhhhhhh 70.s kickass

[unclejoe862]

I need some Rage in the Cage!

[scarletfanny]

Awesome tunage! One of my faves next to Sanctuary from this hot group! Be nice for them to reunite and do a tour. This is a great tune for driving the freeway.

[dganz1]

omg!!..The band must be hanging themselves now when they here this song..they went from a blues band to disco..

[wjv4me]

Love this song-love this band & Peter Wolf, wish they'd tour again...thanks for the upload!

[VerdillacFSM]

This song was mandatory at the rollerskating rinks...are there any roller rinks in existence anymore...?

[Winky395]

dunno but man but it sure was fun

[JLD1964]

Always a closing song at my roller rink because they want people to come back!

[JVY9000]

We have two rollerskating rinks here in Pensacola,Florida.There's Dreamland Skating Center Inc at 2607 Olive Rd,and Landmark Skate & Fun Center at 1002 N Navy Blvd.

[bnsjones95]

great great song

[83survivor]

I love the video for this song, though. Great rarity also..

[thejmq]

love the j.geils since i started high school in 82. i must of been the only one in australia who did. fell in love with the bloodshot and thrashed the ars out of the monkey (island) and still to this day i play them once in awhile. they helped me through the good and bad times of my life. i noticed a lot of people get into the politics of the band members well *uck all that i live for the music.

[kurtzo14]

not the only one in aus mate love it

[kamasutraoil]

hey, did "detroit breakdown" get any airplay outside of detroit? it was HUGE here. a great song.

[kitchdeck]

I'm just a little bit away from y'all in Akron, Ohio and lemme tell ya we ALL loved Detroit Breakdown along with everything else...got to see them live around 1979...maybe '80...what a BLAST....7 encores!!!! Miss 'em!!!

[shrill99]

Yeah,after the "Showtime" album,I really didn't listen to them anymore,love the old stuff,but Seth was trying to direct the band elsewhere when they were doing just fine.Oh well...

[huskernation9]

thought seth was okay here...just later i wasnt down with him

[gemdavey]

j. geils goes disco.

[janusultor]

Im affraid that Im not familiar with that album. I got off the J Giles train just about when everybody else did. I still listen after them when they are on the radio. Peter Wolf was interviewed on NPR a while back. look in their archives if yoiu want.

[janusultor]

J Geils is schitzo musically. Half songs good on the rock side,the other side funk and mostly awful. This song seems to straddle the two, though not very well. Incidentally, that bifurcation in the songs was personality derived from the band members, which is why they split up just when they had made it. After they became big, "some" wanted to go Funq and "the rest" wanted to go Roq. Too bad for all of us.

[Glowparty]

What do you think of their Monkey Island Album?

[ECURBMAHARG]

Sounded good stoned back in the arly 80's.

[83survivor]

There is also a video for this song, you know.

[tenaciouspeaches]

I know but I couldn't find it so I made a version to play for some friends of mine.

[Aaronator19842009]

@tenaciouspeaches great video

[pekoe]

@tenaciouspeaches see the video here for it....balls out an toke up-=-==Love them peter wolfe rocks

[DastardlyMatt]

Yeah, every time someone posts the vid, YouTube takes it down!

[lionheart3419]

My favorite song from the J. Geils Band. A great track! Thank you for this audio posting tenaciousspeaches!

[jeanpierre3930]

When I was a middle school boy, ....

[1970sGirl]

LOVE this song. THANK YOU for posting !!

[Utoobn07]

This song reminds me of junior high school dances.
