Geil (song)
"Geil" is a song released by the German-based British duo Bruce and Bongo. It charted in several European countries, making it their best performing release of any type. "Geil" was released as a single in 1986 and topped the Austrian charts that year. The song was Bruce and Bongo's only major hit, making the duo a one-hit wonder. The song is considered a novelty song, with lyrics mostly in English. In German, the word "Geil" originally meant "horny" but by the 1980s had come to also mean "cool" or "awesome" in slang. For the older generation this sounded like a provocation, and it was meant to be one of course. The song featured lyrics stating that everyone is cool/horny ("Everybody's geil, g-g-g-g-geil").

The music video accompanying the song featured Bruce and Bongo in a gym, with several elderly women doing exercises on various items of gym equipme ...

Monkey Island (album)
''Monkey Island'' is the seventh studio album by American rock band The J. Geils Band, though it is credited with the shortened band name of "Geils", the only album in their catalog that this was done. The album was released on June 9, 1977, by Atlantic Records. The album did not perform well in the marketplace, and would be the J. Geils Band's last original album for Atlantic Records after almost eight years with the label. It was, however, the band's first album on which they did not use an outside producer, as well as their first project with recording engineer David Thoener, with whom they later collaborated on their best-selling albums '' Love Stinks'' and '' Freeze Frame''. The album contains the studio version of "I Do," a live recording of which (from the album '' Showtime!'') would be the J. Geils Band's last hit single in 1982.
