Extreme was a "funk metal" band formed in Boston in 1985-86 consisting of guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist Pat Badger and drummer Paul Geary (later replaced by drum god Mike Mangini). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts of Queen, as well as Beatlesque pop and touches of lounge jazz. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop â€”their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream â€” it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four. They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but recieved diminished attention from the mainstream following the grungeexplosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind"in 1991.

Mutha (Don't Wanna Go To School Today) Lyrics

Extreme

Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah

They keep calling, asking me
If I'll come in
Is that a sin
If being lazy is the only reason

It's getting late
So, Mutha don't you hesitate
To pack my lunch
And I'll be on my way to school

Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah

Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah

The teacher's always looking down
With her disappointed frown
Asking me to go sleep somewhere else

My levelheaded Mutha
Always said to one another
That the truth will always hurt
If you keep waiting
I said waiting

Mutha,don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
Mutha,don't wanna go to school today

I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
A-yeah, yeah!

(SOLO)

Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
Come on!

Mutha,don't wanna go to school today

I think I'd rather go outside and play

Mutha,don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather,I think I'd rather
I think I'd rather go outside and play
I think I'd rather go outside and play

Mutha,don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play

Mutha,don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
