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.

Wind Me Up Lyrics

Extreme

I've got something that you ought to know
Don't even know whether to come or go
Up, down, head's spinning around
Wind up in the lost and found

Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up

Tell me why you make it so hard
All I ask is finish what you start

Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up

Wind me up, that's all you do
Wind me up, and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
Kind enough to me when you Wind me up

Don't take me places, then wanna go home
Sometimes I think I'm better off alone
Hey, girl, you know what you do
Color me red, then leave me blue

Wind me up, that's all you do
Wind me up, and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
Kind enough to me when you...

Wind me up, that's all you do
Wind me up, and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
kind enough to me when you wind me up

(SOLO)

Wind me up, that's all you do
Wind me up, and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
Kind enough to me when you...

Wind me up, that's all you do
Wind me up, and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
Kind enough to me when you...

Wind me up, that's all you do
Wind me up, and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
Kind enough to me when you wind me up!
