Dizzy up the Girl by The Goo Goo Dolls

I ran right out to the store to buy this CD after finding out that the Goo Goo Dolls sang the magical song "Black Balloon". I really feel that every single song on this album is the strongest that it could possibly be. Vocalist Johnny Rzeznik leads in most of the songs, with Robby Takac (bassist) singing on 4 tracks as well. And Mike Malinin is a terrific drummer, much better than the Goo Goo Dolls' first drummer, George Tutuska. Here are the best lyrics in each of the songs. They're all very meaningful... (* means hit single)
