Temple of Goo – The rarest Goo Goo Dolls releases, for real Goo fans only
Temple of Goo is a place where the rarest Goo Goo Dolls material can be found. Only true fans will appreciate it, and make this temple their new home

A good number of them feature a song called “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know“. To my knowledge, this song comes in at least three different versions:
We all know the story. The Goo Goo Dolls’ front man John Rzeznik had been a huge fan of The Replacements for a long time. If memory serves well, they even opened for them in a few occasions before 1992. The band wrote the demo for “We Are The Normal“, just the rough, instrumental version of it, and sent it via regular mail to Paul Westerberg, the lead singer.
