Yeah, now don't touch the knobs
Cause I think we're gonna
Have some with this one here

Oh, yeah
You got to give it to me
You got to give it to me
You got to give it to me
You got to give it to me

You're so slick, honey
Know every trick now
You know I want it
I want it so bad
You know I need it
I can't believe it
So come on baby
Please relieve it

Got to give it to me
You got to give it to me
Got to give it to me
You got to give it to me

You've been bugging me
Every night now
You say you want it
You want it right now
I can't get through it
And I can't get to it
So come on, baby, please

Got to get it up (get it up)
Come on, you got to
Get it up (get it up)
You got to get it up (get it up)
Babe, you got to give it to me
(Give it to me)
You got to give it to me
(Give it to me)
You got to give it to me
(Give it to me)
You got to give it to me
(Give it to me)

Why keep me cold
When it's so warm inside
Come on, baby, your love
Is too good to hide
Woah, yeah

I was thinking along the lines of 10 CC's Dreadlock Holiday which BillG spins here too.  I've rated this J.Geils track 8 which makes the 10 CC song an 8.4.  Long Live RP!!

Keeping in mind that this song preceded "Dreadlock Holiday" by about 5 years.

I saw the J. Geils Band in an after-hours show at Bookies in Detroit back in 1983 or 84. They had played four straight nights at Pine Knob. Their contract said they could play no other shows in Detroit, so they played as Jimmy and the Juke Joints. No more than 100 people in the place. I walked out at 2 a.m. with my ears ringing and a smile on my face.

don't hear those songs much

they might make a good middle for a playlist for my new date tonight

...or, is that far to blatant?  ...or, will the humor be appreciated

...or would adding "Big 10 Inch Record", somewhere, kick it into jocularity?

On vinyl, this album was a transparent bloodshot red. Very funky on the turntable. And this single didn't have the long play out at the end, they just repeated the first few verses and faded out.

Banal efforts. Pretty much everything that comes from J. Geils Band is of that mediocre borderline stupid category.
 
I don't tend to acknowledge critical assessments here, but this opinion hits the mark. Maybe it has to do with the adulation people in New England have for mediocre bands that somehow mean a lot to those who grew up in that atmosphere. As a relatively frequent visitor there, I repeatedly recognize that there is a love for local bands that really don't rise that much above background. Some of which pretty much never leave their backyards. This is likely true many other places, but the Boston area seems especially prone to this tendency. Sure, I am over-generalizing; so sue me!

This makes me think: how could hybrid transhumans in 2063 criticize Rihanna or Adele? "They still needed human singers, and humans to write and record what they called songs, and cameras to shoot videos of other humans on a 2D thing called youtube, and even radios to use their ears... Ridiculously stupid and exhilaratingly limited, but relatively interesting from a historical point of view".

I was a huge J. Geils fan back in the college days.  My best friend had a limited pressing of this album that was red vinyl.  And of course we saw them in concert every chance we got.  They were the ultimate house rocking party band before they became famous on MTV.
