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.

Burnin’ Up Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
You said youre burnin up inside, and no one seems to tell.
Your living from a personalized manual from hell.
Life seems pretty easy when its from my easy chair.
And youre burnin up inside and no ones cares.
You said you had enough this time, this town dont treat you well.
You always find coincidence, well I do parallel.
Come and take my hand tonight, Ill show you where to start.
cuz every word that left your lips, like a needle through my heart.
