The Urge
The Urge is an alternative rock band based in St. Louis, Missouri. Their music combines several genres, including hardcore punk, heavy metal, ska, reggae, funk, rock, and rhythm and blues. Consistent touring throughout the 1990s earned the band a reputation for high-energy live performances.
History
Early career (1987–1994)
The Urge was originally formed in 1987 by Webster Groves High School classmates Jeff Herschel (drums), Karl Grable (bass), and Pat Malecek (guitar). The band went through two singers before recruiting Steve Ewing for vocal duties in 1988. Their first album was released in 1989, the cassette-only Bust Me Dat Forty, followed a year later by the LP Puttin the Backbone Back, which featured the addition of saxophonist Jordan Chalden.
After trombonist Matt Kwiatkowski was recruited in 1992, the group released Magically Delicious, which also featured contributions from trumpeter Tony Albano. Chalden left the band shortly after to deal with substance abuse problems. Later that year, the group added saxophonist/keyboardist Bill Reiter and trombonist/keyboardist Todd Painter. In early 1993, the band released the LP Fat Babies in the Mix, a live concert album recorded at Mississippi Nights.
The Urge (album)
The Urge is the third solo album released by bassist Stuart Hamm, released in 1991. It was the first of Hamm's solo albums to feature vocals, and included guest appearances by guitarist Eric Johnson and Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe. The song "Quahogs Anyone?" was recorded live at Santa Barbara on September 27, 1990.
Hamm's signature Fender bass guitar was also called "The Urge", and was followed by "The Urge II".

The Urge
by: Freddy CannonWhen I first laid eyes on you
I got the urge to hold you
And the way you move your lips
I got the urge to kiss you
Every single little movement
Filled my heart with desire
And electric current through me
Like a forest fire
I got the urge, woo, to love you
Now, baby, turn the lights down low
I got the urge to hug you
Snuggle tighter in my arms
I got the urge to squeeze you
Be my loving doll forever
Let me carry you home
Cause I got a mind to marry you
And make you my own
I got the urge, woo, to love you
Well, the way I feel for you
Scares me half to death
I have to calm down
Just to catch my breath
I'm counting ten (nine)
Eight (seven) six (five)
Four (three) two, one
Have you heard
I got the urge
I got the urge
I got the urge, woo, to love you
Yeah, woo
Well, the way I feel for you
Scares me half to death
I have to calm down
Just to catch my breath
I'm counting ten (nine)
Eight (seven) six (five)
Four (three) two, one
I got the urge
I got the urge
I got the urge, woo, to love you
