(157) Extreme - Get The Funk Out (1991)

Extreme is an American rock band, headed by frontmen Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, that reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Among some of Extreme's musical influences are Queen and Van Halen. The band have described their music as "Funky Metal". ´Get the Funk Out´ is the second single from Extreme's second studio album "Pornograffitti". As the title suggests, the song is recorded in a funk metal style, in contrast to the more glam metal style of most of the album (although elements of funk do appear in many of the album's other songs as well, excepting two acoustic ballads). The single was not successful in the United States but became a minor hit in the UK after reaching #19 on the charts in 1991.
