First and foremost here are the lyrics to the song
http://www.lyricsondemand.com/onehitwonders/centerfoldlyrics.html

The song was originally called "Angel in Blue" and I was reading over the lyrics, and realized that it’s drug related.

It’s a song about two common drugs (PCP, and Nitrous Oxided AKA Laughing Gas). PCP is commonly referred to as "Angel Dust" and Laughing Gas comes in a blue bottle, hence the name "Angel in Blue" (by the way both drugs have almost exactly the same side effects).

References can be found in these phrases:

Quote:

She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain

PCP is a white powder, hence the name (without trying to reiterate).

Quote:

Years go by I’m lookin’ through a girly magazine
And there’s my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

PCP used to be stored inside the pages of books by common users, who would keep the baggy in the crease and then snort it off of the pages.

Quote:

My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold

Laughing Gas turns cold in your hands when you inhale it, and PCP causes memory loss.

Quote:

I was shakin’ in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues

Most hardcore addicts to both drugs tend to get really excited and shake, much like an alcoholic, when the drugs are presented to them. The baby blues refer to the bottles of Laughing Gas.

You can look through the lyrics and probably find more yourself, but this is debate so feel free to make other suggestions. I didn’t see any forums where anyone else caught onto this so I decided to post it, sorry for the length everyone.

One last thing, here is the wikipedia page stating the name change:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerfold_%28song%29

It’s in the third paragraph, I think the director changed the name because the song was released in the 80’s which was pretty much the end of the 60’s and 70’s "drug song" era. Again, discuss this as well.

It’s obviously about his obsession with a girl in a porno mag. I don’t think it’s drug related..
