A few days ago Lori made a comment that referenced today’s rock song in the countdown to Valentine’s Day, and I told her to hold that thought. Instead, she runs off to Cozumel! Oh, well, let’s all enjoy this classic rocker.
Love Stinks - J. Geils Band
What a video. The monkey!! The gas masks! And Stephen Bladd playing the drums with a fish!!!!
Oh, and the song is terrific, too. This was one of the biggest commercial successes for the J. Geils Band until Freeze Frame came along.
It’s still a great song, holding up well over 40 years (ouch, is this song really 40 this year????). Maybe that’s because so many people agree with the sentiment.
Love Stinks
Written by Peter Wolf and Seth Justman
Recorded by the J. Geils Band
From Love Stinks, 1980
I’ve been through diamonds:

Great video not their best hit although better than "Centerfold." I saw them in concert many, many years ago and they blew me away. I didn't need a seat that's for sure

No, I think it was on EMI Records, not Epic Records.
