Today Jim gives us Cool/Freeze/Heat/Melt. Nice! I can definitely work with that. I’m stuck in the 80s ultimately landing on “Freeze-Frame” written by Seth Justman and Peter Wolf for The J. Geils Band.
I still remember parts of a dance routine that we learned for this song. Our outfits were splattered painters pants with neon green, pink, or orange tank tops. Our dance teacher borrowed heavily from this video for costuming. At the end, we made pyramids too just no paint. Cheesy but good times I tell ya!
Without further ado, here is the video:
I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday
Slow-motion weekdays stare me down
Her lipstick reflex got me wound
There were no defects to be found
Snapshot image froze without a sound
Thursday morning was a hot-flash factor
Her face still focused in my mind
Doo-dloo-dloo
Test-strip proofsheet love is hard to find
Doo-dloo-dloo
Friday night, we danced the spotlight grind
Doo-dloo-dloo
Stop time heart for me if she’s not mine
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, whoo, and I freeze
Now I’m looking at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feeling just won’t disappear
Doo-dloo-dloo
Close up, dark room, sweet talk in my ear
Doo-dloo-dloo
Her hot-spot love for me is strong
Doo-dloo-dloo
This freeze-frame moment can’t be wrong
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, whoo, and I freeze
Shoot, shoot – doo-dloo-dloo
Shoot, shoot – doo-dloo-dloo
Shoot, shoot – doo-dloo-dloo
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Freeze frame, whoo, and I freeze
Yeah
Freeze frame, oh yeah, freeze frame
If I could freeze frame, freeze frame, freeze frame
If I could freeze, she’s real, whoo, freeze frame
If I could freeze, she’s ahhh, freeze frame
If I could shoot, shoot – doo-dloo-dloo, freeze frame
If I could shoot, shoot – doo-dloo-dloo, freeze frame
WE’RE stuck in the 80s! LOL! Didn’t have a dance routine but this one was definitely a jazzercize favorite! š

I loved jazzercise. Three years of my life. Tuesday and Thursday nights I went to Windsor Park mall. They even had a day care for the little.

They were a good band. Early on, they did some of the best blues I ever heard.

The album that got me going on them was their live album from the ’70’s, “Full House.” If there was one album you ought to hear, it’s that one.

I did not think I knew this song until I watched the video and it all came flooding back. Nice choice for today. I can certainly visualize those dance costumes.

I know. I’m not ready to pay for it at this time. I did just get my SiriusXM bill down from $350 per year to $80 per year. I think the pandemic has a lot of people cancelling so they are in full retention mode. š
