A former member of Alice Cooper's band, bassist Kip Winger formed his own group in 1986; in addition to vocalist/bassist Winger, the group featured lead guitarist Reb Beach, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein, formerly of the Dixie Dregs. Taking its name from its leader, Winger specialized in the stylish hard rock that sent Bon Jovi and Poison to the top of the charts. The band's eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak." Winger's second album, 1990's In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away." However, the band didn't outlast the grunge trend and the group faded away after the release of its 1993 album Pull. Kip Winger launched a solo career at the tail end of the '90s. In early 2006, the "Pull" 1993 line-up reunited, along with a fifth member on keyboards.

Loosen Up Lyrics

Winger

ARE YOU READY!!

I've had enough
Got to get away
It's about that time
(Got to get away)

Get a little closer to a
Fast car
Get away from the grind
(It's about that time)

Every damn day
We're under pressure
About to lose it
Lose my mind

Chorus:
I need to loosen up (Loosen up!)
I need a little juicin' up
I've been hanging from the noose
Baby won't you cut me loose
C'mon everybody loosen up

I need it fast
I'm in need of the buzz
When we're all together
(I'm in need of the buzz)

Like a time bomb
I'm about to explode
We've got to come together
(Before I blow)

I'm spending too many days
Under pressure
About to lose it
Lose my mind

Chorus:
I need to loosen up (Loosen up!)
(Said) I need a little juicin' up
I've been hanging from the noose
Baby won't you cut me loose
C'mon everybody loosen up
Loosen up!

Solo

Every damn day
We're under pressure
About to lose it
Lose my mind

Chorus:
I need to loosen up (Loosen up!)
I need a little juicin' up
Get into your body
It's time to start the party
C'mon everybody loosen up

I need to loose up (Loosen up!)
I need a little juicin' up
I've been hanging from the noose
Baby won't you cut me loose
C'mon everybody loosen up
Loosen up
Loosen up
(Party) Everybody.....Yeah, Yeah!!

Hey Everybody!!!
Loosen up.
