A question from The '80s Man

You may have heard of a movie opening tomorrow called Miss March. The premise is, apparently, that a man wakes up from a coma to find that (in the years in-between) his high-school girlfriend has become a model for Playboy.

Hillarity ensues (or rather, doesn't ensue, if the reviews are anything to go by). But of course, what I want to know is this:

Can the J.Geils Band sue the filmmakers for ripping off a perfectly servicable blues/rock song; taking its premise for a "crass, unfunny; poorly made gross-out comedy with little to recommend it?"

I'd like to think that they could.
