SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:24 Min.
This 1990 song was among the tracks released for radio play from Winger’s second album: In The Heart of The Young. Its lead singer is Kip Winger.
REVIEW:
Winger was among those Late ‘80’s-Early ‘90s lite metal rock bands that briefly caught fire in the ‘big hair, even bigger sound’ MTV video era. Considering the fairly strong quality of their output, it isn’t surprising that Winger faced a glut of competition seeking to be the next Bon Jovi or Def Leppard. Still, some of this group’s tunes from their 1988 self-titled first album and 1990’s In the Heart of The Young hold up surprisingly well. “Can’t Get Enuff” doesn’t make that cut, despite its dynamite melody.
Instantly confirming its suggestive title, the less-than-subtle lyrics overdose on glamorizing sexual lust — at least, without resorting to profanities. Still, its metallic sound compensates well, including a funky bubbling sound effect reminiscent of a mad scientist’s laboratory. Soaring above the high-caliber instrumental work, Kip Winger’s voice is another solid asset — his vocals are easily comprehensible. Unfortunately, that’s part of the problem, as this smarmy tune is unabashedly an innuendo-fest, including a few allusions to kinky foreplay. For parents, the sexually-charged content of “Can’t Get Enuff” makes it a potentially awkward download option.
