A criminally underrated alternative band from Buffalo, New York. Formed in 1987, the band consisted of John Rzeznik (lead guitar, became lead vocals later on), Robby Takac (bass guitar, was lead vocalist), and George Tutuska (drums; later replaced by Mike Malinin). They spent the next 10 years climbing up through the underground scene and, later, the charts.
Their breakout hit came ten years later in 1997 when Iris, off the City of Angels soundtrack, became one of the most popular ballads of all time and made the Goos a household name overnight. Before this, they had been prominent figures in the Buffalo rock scene and had also released a fairly popular album, A Boy Named Goo, in 1995. The album contained Name, which was, until Iris's release, their most well-known song.
Their early musical style has been compared to the 80s alternative, 'garage' sound of bands such as The Replacements. Later on, around the time of Name and Iris, they came more to resemble hard rock with some lingering 'Mats influences.
Recently, they have become insulted and spat upon by the 'cool' kids who listen to Nickelback and Linkin Park, as well as the indie kids who think that their music is 'insignificant' (when ironically they're a lot more listenable than Kid A). The only ones that seem to linger are their fangirls. You know, the ones that only listen to, you guessed it, Name and Iris. However, those who actually shut up and listen will find a great rock band whose songs contain deep, awesome lyrics.
Idiot: Goo Goo Dolls are a crappy girly band. LINKIN PARK IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER! SO MUCH MEANING TO THE LYRICS
Goo fan: Linkin Park's songs have no meaning except for I HATE EVERYTHING I'M DONE WITH THIS WAHHH I HATE YOU. GGD's lyrics are so much more mature. I don't know what you're on.
Idiot: Oh yeah? I FUCKED YOUR MOM
Goo Fan: Um, ok?
Indie kid: *fake british accent* Goo Goo Dolls suck arse! Radiohead actually has meaning behind their music!
Goo fan: Ok, whatever. I actually like Radiohead... well, their first three albums, anyways. After that, they got weird.
Indie kid: HERESY ALL THEIR ALBUMS ARE BETTER THAN THE GOO GOO DOLLS *listens to Kid A*
Goo fangirl: OMGWTFBBQ JOHNNY IRIS
Goo fan: I have no words.

The band "The Cramps" made a song called "Goo Goo Muck"
It's a horny teenager who is ready to mingle and will take what they can get.
They might even make animal noises at girls, because they're so horny.
They roam the streets, but aim for the sheets.
A goo goo muck: "When the sun goes down and the moon goes up, I turn into a teenage goo goo muck."
Every girl on the strees: "Run for your lives!"

A Language spoken by A person that sounds stupid.. Generally this language is used when a person talks about something and is extremely hypocritical and sounds uneducated, has one sided opinion and plugs ears and says “I can’t hear you I can’t hear you” usually “these people” are fans of MSU and live in Stockbridge with there parents

An alternative rock band from Buffalo, New York. Some of their better songs include Iris, Name, Slide, Here Is Gone and Big Machine. Despite what other definitions say, they are quite mainstream and MORE than 1/20 people will know who they are, unless you're Amish or summin.
Guy 1: Hey Man, have you read that idiot's definition who said that only 1 outta 20 people know the goo goo dolls?
Guy 2: Yeah, what a fucking knob.
