"Centerfold" was the 1st single off the J. Geils Band's 1981 album, "Freeze Frame", and would be the band's only #1 hit on the Hot 100, spending six weeks at the top in February & March 1982. The title track would follow, but fall short of the top spot.
The story is rather simple. As Peter Wolf sings, he spins the yarn of a man who recalls his high school years, only to discover that his crush ended up a centerfold for an adult magazine. That leads to conflicted feelings for the fellow. Does he hold on to the innocent schoolgirl he loved, or does he embrace the lust?
Yes, one of the girls does bear only a slight resemblance to MTV doll Martha Quinn, but only because of the short hairdo. Martha had to debunk the rumor on air that she was in the video.
