Dizzy Up The Girl Zipper
A girl would have been afraid to bring it up, would have been afraid to ruin the moment. This led to girls getting into more predicaments than not. Maybe feminism did have some perks, he thought as he reached into his drawer and pulled out the foil packet.

Dizzy Up the Girl is the sixth studio album by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on September 22, 1998 through Warner Bros. Records. The album is often noted for being the album which propelled the Goo Goo Dolls into success, although they already enjoyed some recognition with the downbeat track 'Name' in 1995. Dizzy features more upbeat compositions than they had previously recorded. It is also the band's first album to feature drummer Mike Malinin.

History[edit]
Dizzy Up the Girl is the Goo Goo Dolls' most successful album to date, selling over 4 million copies (4x platinum certified).[4] The success of Dizzy Up the Girl can largely be attributed to the rock ballad 'Iris', which was also included in the soundtrack album of the film City of Angels. 'Iris' immediately reached #1 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart upon its release in March from the City of Angels soundtrack, and stayed on top for 18 weeks, setting a record that still stands as of June 2017. The song also reached #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart, the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 chart, along with several other charts in the U.S and U.K, and included 3 Grammy nominations. 'Iris' and 'Slide' were the 2 most successful singles from the album being the 2 songs that sold the album very well and the other 3 singles achieved modest success.
In addition to the huge success of 'Iris' (US #9), Dizzy Up the Girl featured three additional top forty singles, with the songs 'Slide' (US #8), 'Broadway' (US #24), and 'Black Balloon' (US #16). The album also produced the moderately popular song 'Dizzy' (US #108), which has since become a fan favorite. Along with top forty single status, music videos for all five singles reached VH1's Top 20 Music Videos chart upon release.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated: 'Like a less mannered and conflicted Let Your Dim Light Shine-era Soul Asylum, the trio balances hard rockers with ballads. The difference is, they enjoy the mainstreaming of their music and respond with one of their catchiest sets of songs. There's nothing new on the record apart from their willingness to polish their music so it reaches the widest audience. That will alienate whatever hardcore followers they have left, but that attitude will likely please anyone brought aboard with 'Name' and 'Iris'.'[5]
