Hmmm...good idea! A song that will go well with my tradition of wearing black on this day (yup! It is that day. AGAIN!). I have been doing that for more that two decades now.
Ah fuck. Really miss the 80s sometimes. So much creativity, so much good music. That whole decade was a big, long, hilarious party. I just wish I were older so I could have experienced it as a teen from 80 on rather than 85. Never be another decade like it.
True , 70s really creative, 80s cooperate oversight started killing creativity. THIS WAS A GEM, HOWEVER they had already made their mark, widley regarded as great band, pre 80s
I was 16 in 1980. No complaints now, but I spent the 70s feeling like I had been born 10 years to late. I wanted to have seen Led Zeppelin etc. in concert and disco sucked. 😅
I used to sing this song to my daughter when she was small and when she heard it on the radio a few years later she was stunned because she honestly thought I made it up😂
I remember one night I was at my grandmother’s house watching VH1 and this video came on. Now my grandma, God rest her soul, was a fundamentalist Christian who didn’t care too much for rock music. But when she saw this video she died laughing. RIP Grandma, miss you.
@@bravosierra2447 Unlike the time I watched a Freddie Mercury documentary as soon as she heard the word “gay” she looked up from her Sunday school lesson she was reviewing and said, “Ok turn it off.”
In memory of my friend Denise who was with me in my Mustang in '79 and realized it was the first time I heard this song. We laughed our asses off! Great memory. So sorry cancer took her.
There are only so many times you can try to find love and keep failing, before you finally have to throw your hands up in the air and say, “F-k it.” Like the song says, love stinks. Thank you J. Geils Band.
Yeah, working on relationships is too painful and most marriage counselors also resigned themselves to marrying people they don't feel too intensely about so they can stand each other enough to get base needs met. Signed, fully awake
This is what I play on Valentine’s Day, because it’s true ❤!! If you don’t tell the person who you love, you are being fake to yourself, but at least you’ve told them the truth.
Hate to say it, after so many broken hearts, but dam, being in love is the greatest feeling of all! Even after all the alcohol and drugs to wash away a broken heart and feeling like $hit afterwards, it still is the best feeling!
It's crazy how flawlessly this band went from a Blues Rock/R&B band for an entire decade in the 70's to MTV in the 80's. I grew up in the Detroit area until '82 and even tracks like Flamethrower were seemingly on every radio station. The crossover appeal of these guys is just friggin' awesome!!!
These guys were my first concert I went to. The Motels opened up for them. I was 15yrs old. I loved the 80's! So many awesome songs by these guys. Great concert too.
Old comment but it really has to do with how he's not even looking at the camera, just doing his own thing, hammering that beat... with fish. And solid lookin fish at that.
The intro lyrics to this song are exactly true to my current life situation. "You love her, but she loves him, and he loves somebody else. You just can't win."
R.I.P. J Geils! Thank you for the music--especially this tune! And just to be clear with the non-fans out there, J Geils is NOT the lead singer (that would be Peter Wolf). J. Geils was the lead guitar player of the band.
I love ❤️ this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕 it's a perfect song to play and listen to after a divorce, especially a messy one where one comes out paying for everything literally.
I was head over heels for this girl right after high school, she was legs spread for a bunch of my friends. One night after going with her to a party, after she had gone down to the basement with another of my friends. This song came on the radio, I looked at my buddy who was taking me home, blasted the stereo at 1am and hit the road.
You love her But she loves him And he loves somebody else You just can't win And so it goes Till the day you die This thing they call love It's gonna make you cry I've had the blues The reds and the pinks One thing for sure Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah Two by two and side by side Love's gonna find you yes it is You just can't hide You'll hear it call Your heart will fall Then love will fly It's gonna soar I don't care for any Casanova thing All I can say is (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah I've been through diamonds I've been through minks I've been through it all Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks yeah yeah (Love stinks) Love stinks...
J (below me in the comments) make's a point. I just heard it on the radio out of Waco, Texas, 106.7 FM (just a few minutes ago). It is a song that is really a large part of life and larger that what most of Rock n' Roll is usually referencing. It is a welcome and much needed addition to the Rock n' Roll scene(if you will).
You're an embarrassment to both our city of Cleveland and Rock n' Roll itself talking about JGB with such ignorance. Go listen to their whole catalogue before you talk about what good music is. They're a fucking incredible band.
I bought this album in 83, Senior yr of HS and dad decided an old witch was more important than his family I wore this album track out. LOVE STINKS!!!!!!

High five!

Same
As long as Valentine’s Day still exists, this song will continue to be a banger
Calendar boy haha
I can take being lonely for only so long
You got that right. As you get older love is going really stink
This song brought me out of the depression of a breakup. Whenever the depression relapses I just put this song on and it goes away. LOVE STINKS.
What a great song to play at a wedding reception.
Hah I laughed at this good reference I love wedding singer 😂😂
Anyone who likes Adam Sandler totally rocks!
Some learn too late,they have to run the gauntlet the first 2 years when they start getting bored.
Ask yourself this how many times can you eat steak,before you get bored?and want something different once and a while.

RIP J. Geils. Your music will never be forgotten.
Happy Valentine's Day also yes Love Stinks.
And it's also expensive!

Well, the ‘60’s was the top era for music. The ‘80’s were fun, too.

Back during a time when music videos were very simple.
Yee doggies AND kittehs~!
That’s my style
That’s fucking awesome
Very cool
The perfect Valentine's Day song!
Why can't they play this on Valentine's day?
@@roxassora2706 They do!

So true that's why I'm staying single for life. It's not worth getting my heartbroken for nothing. I'm done.

Love Stinks! Hell Yeah! That guitar riff is badass 🎸! R.I.P J.Geils your music lives on!
Just heard the news. Rock on J. Geils. Thanks for the music. You were one of my favorite guitarists. You will be missed.
Same here
But ,being a singer..Peter Wolf's vocals are my favorite
He was the drummer not the guitarist
RIP J Geils, you helped me get over lots of love with this song!!
Here on Valentines Day! Love stinks ❤️🔥😂
Forever my Valentine's Day anthem 💔
Me too 😂
Same 😂
😂😂😂
Me too
It’s so sad, that most artists that used to listen as a kid are now RIP 🫥
Such an under-rated band, love J. Geils Band.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Geils.

I dedicate this song for today Valentine's Day
Back when MTV didn't suck...
Happy Valentines day everyone.
Why the Hell aren't these guys in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
What??
@@rockeeberlin888 he asked why these guys aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame
Because the RRHoF stinks!
I've had the blues the reds and the pinks one things for sure, love stinks. What a great line.
LOVE STINKS!!……the mantra of every teen boy in the 80’s!!!…..until THAT ONE GIRL stops you in your tracks!!
Everyone needs their Drew Barrymore 💃
These guys were my first concert I went to. The Motels opened up for them. I was 15yrs old. I loved the 80's! So many awesome songs by these guys. Great concert too.
Saw that same concert BITD
This video has the best "Playing the drums with fish" segment I've ever seen.
Old comment but it really has to do with how he's not even looking at the camera, just doing his own thing, hammering that beat... with fish. And solid lookin fish at that.
😂❤
This song is literally the story of my life
A great song after Valentine's day, happy Singles Awareness Day everyone! # Single And Proud!😎
I play this song all day long on Valentine's Day.
This is one of the best anthems to come out of the early 80's and beyond. Definitely a classic that has aged well
@ted ritola was 12 then, couldn't get enough of it 🥳
That opening drum beat is life
The intro lyrics to this song are exactly true to my current life situation. "You love her, but she loves him, and he loves somebody else. You just can't win."
Eric Medina I know right
Same
Eric Medina Been there, done that. WAY too many times.
Is it really love? Maybe not.
Same
R.I.P John Geils...loved your music. Loved the 80's
I listen to it not only on Valentine's Day.
0:16 true talent
Yes!!! My favorite part of this great video. 2nd favorite part is the fish drum sticks

I love ❤️ this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕 it's a perfect song to play and listen to after a divorce, especially a messy one where one comes out paying for everything literally.
Love is great at the very beginning. Once that initial attraction fades, love truly stinks.

Awesome song and artist
such a great video!
One of my all time favorite songs/video
1:20 OMFG, he's playing a Yamaha CS-80?? Those are like US$50,000 now. I bet he wished he held onto it...
J. Geils always had a way with videos. Every one is creative and goes with the song well. More importantly they make me smile.
What a freaking great song :)
Couldn't agree more. Love Stinks!
Always loved this song & video!!❤
That stinks! J.Geils passed away at 71 years old today! God Bless you man!
Freshman in High School when this album came out. Rock anthem
It reached #38 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980
Cindy and Scott are newlyweds... Woopadeedoo!!
Rest in Peace, Mr. Geils.
You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
Two by two and side by side
Love's gonna find you yes it is
You just can't hide
You'll hear it call
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly
It's gonna soar
I don't care for any Casanova thing
All I can say is
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks
I've been through it all
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
