 |  |  | Losing My Religion: Encyclopedia II - Losing My Religion - The songThe title comes from an expression from the southern region of the United States for losing one's temper and flying off the handle, i.e. losing one's civility.

The song is still the band's largest hit in the U.S, reaching #4 on the Billboard charts. In the U.K., it charted at #19. The song also won the 1991 Grammy Award for Bes ...
