The Goo Goo Dolls

Released: June 9, 1987

[Verse]
I don't know what you want
You and your silly stomp
You shake your back for me
Then wish that you were dead
And every single time
You blow your silly mind
With more laughing glue
I don't know who you are

I don't see any proof
You got a filthy trick
Then get a filthy dick
And every time you wait
You have to masturbate
Oh, you know it well

Wait, don't stop!

[Outro]
And now I'm done with this
And it's so vicious
You criticize my view
Then criticize my attitude
But there's just one thing
That I'm interested in
Oh, what's into you!

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
