Goo Goo Dollsis an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.

Ain't That Unusual Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cuz I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
Cuz all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made-for-TV movie
And I just blew my line
Someday you never made it Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared, now
Now what's that supposed to mean?
I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
It's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me
You're everything I want and haven't got
I'm sick of everything I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
