Robin is actually from Wisconsin Dells.  So, something good actually came out of Wisconsin!!!

Speaking as a veteran of many cover bands, it would be difficult for me to convey how much fun it is to do a Cheap Trick song once in a while.  Especially this one.  People love to sing along, and the chorus just rocks.

PS:  If you fancy pop tunes, check out Tinted Window, a so-called supergroup that features Cheap Trick's Bun Carlos on drums.

We just seem a little weird.  Used to be "They".  Now it feels like "WE".  :-)

Appropriately enough Cheap Trick was the opening act at the first concert I ever attended: KISS at the Regina Agridome in May 1977 or thereabouts...

wow, hearing this song after so many years reveals how weak this song really was . . . It hasn't aged well.  Me on the other hand...

I love this song, and apparently Stephen Colbert does too.  Trivia....musicians from Cheap Trick composed his theme song.  No wonder I love that show!  Surrender to truthiness.

Oh well. I cannot expect to agree with the song selection here always, but this was never any good when it was released and time has not improved the song or diminished my loathing for it. Maybe if I had been an alienated 13 year old when it came out...

I loved this song as a twelve year-old - cranking it up on my cheap turntable w/ an even cheaper pair of plastic headphones. Now, as a parent, I guess I can relate to it on another weird level. Timeless, imo.

Not bad, but I listen to RP so I don't have to hear songs like this. Heard it too often on "classic" rock stations.

There's just no way that I can be objective about this song. When I hear, suddenly I'm 30 years younger listening to WNEW in New York in high-school.

My buddy sent me this yesterday.

Continuing your thought process from yesterday, say you are flying a transatlantic, non-stop flight and you have to choose from these rockers who will be sitting next to you. Remember, you have to choose. Who would it be?

1) David Lee Roth
2) Sammy Hagar the Horrible
3) Steve Perry
4) Bob Seger
5) Tommy Shaw
6) Rick Neilson
7) Steve Tyler
8) ##### Guy From The Fixx Who Now Designs Women's Hats
9) Other Singer From Van Halen After Hagar the Horrible
10) Lead Singer Of The Cult (Jim Morrison Impersonator)
11) Guy From REO Speedwagon Who Looks Like Howard Stern

You gotta pick, man!

I picked Rick Neilson!
