“Surrender”
Cheap Trick
We need to discuss Cheap Trick! One of the most underrated bands of the 70’s and 80’s, they’ve never gotten their due, even with such classic rock radio staples as “Dream Police,” “Voices,” and “I Want You To Want Me.” (although they did hit #1 in 1988 with the glossy Heart-esque ballad “The Flame”.)
And of course, there was their first entry on the Hot 100 in 1978, “Surrender,” which flopped, peaking at #62. Since then it’s become an iconic rock song, heard in countless movies and TV shows, and let’s face it, “Mommy’s alright, daddy’s alright, they just seem a little weird” is a perfect lyric.
