Robin Zander was one of the very few lead singers from the MTV era who could actually perform in videos without looking totally out of his element... Gahh, I'm having flashbacks of how many rock stars didn't know how to play to a camera.
Just saw them play this last month. And Robin doesn't take it down even a half step. How many singers from as far back as the freakin 70s do that? Zero that's how many. The man is vocal genius.
One thing I can tell you (as a vocalist myself) is that he concentrates on hitting the notes, rather than straining to REACH them. He remains focused in sound with each note, no pushing. I don't know if he has had training, but whatever he is doing is masterful! :)
Fuck me days that Robin Zander looks cooooolll in this video. absolute rock and roll swagger. his voice is one the best in rock history. these guys never tried to look cool, they just WERE cool.
This song used to get heavy play on MTV in the early 80s. And at the time I assumed it was a pretty big hit but in fact it didn’t make much of a dent in the American charts. Still, it’s a damn cool song even to this day.
benclark27 odd how many people don't know how true this is. Sucks that the vast majority only know these guys for I Want You To Want Me, Surrender and The Flame. Just goes to show having a good manager and a label that understands you is oh so important. Cheap Trick and the vast majority of their catalog of music, should be known far and wide. When people say, they don't like Cheap Trick, I always say, well if all you know them for is the Flame and I Want You To Want Me, you just don't know enough about them to say you like or dislike them.
@benclark27 I totally agree! I loved this band in the 70s in HS and still love them now! RZ was in the vid for the Steel Panther cover..that was funny shit.
I saw Cheap Trick perform in concert in 1988 at Miami University at Oxford, OH with The Fixx opening. What an incredible performance! The college students were more into The Fixx, but I counted myself lucky to see Cheap Trick!
I know don't know what was more awesome, her legs or the 6 neck guitar. Saw these guys a few years ago at a county fair, they are sill just as good, even if they are like 66!
When you’re a kid, you hear these songs but don’t read between the lines... But, as an adult, it kinda makes you wonder how a song like this got played on the radio with those lyrics: “SHE’S TIGHT” , SHE’S GOT HER HEAD DOWN TIGHT”.
George Carlen said it best " 7 words you can't say on tv, also radio. And then there's that pesky 1st amendment, you change your tag name to KING CUCK.
A very Happy 69th Birthday Robin Wayne Zander. Born in Beloit, Wisconsin January 23, 1953. Cheap Trick Fans are some of the most loyal fans ever. Many, many more Robin Wayne..
She's tight is my favorite song by Cheap Trick. I still listen to this on vinyl regularly and while bands like Smashing melons, fudge fighters, and Panther whatever owe Cheap Trick a world of gratitude. Long live these classic rock legends.
@@Scottocaster6668 😆 can't get into Dave Grohl's efforts since his days with Nirvana. I do like Taylor Hawkins drumming ability big time though. I also think Pat Smear is an excellent guitarist.
I got the cd but you now I dont have the record player but always love my Rockfordian Band I mean my husband and I have seen them a long time and have been a fan forever but man there are a few that are a bit weird when they come in the store but still love my man Jesse and pray for him cause yeah we all got things and I cry to but sometimes when I breathe- well all the time when I breathe I say piece of cake hardly but always pray for the loved ones we say go stay go stay and glad Ms Eileen said pay it forward so I did with words with friends and Now I don't anymore but Love you Rockford and Vicinity and be good just like we all know we should. And watch yo self but thanks for beautiful parks too when me and my husband go and we appreciate the vetrans don't you know and the nurses drs teachers and well grace and prayers. If I forget anybody I also like funny and bought some cranberry juice too. But hey I and my husband are for real and we late nighters but be safe in a world of chaos and stuff. Or can I say the s word- oh thanks fake Dennis
Well I DEFINITELY feel u n I'm with u 💯 BUT cool thing is Grohl as well as Pearl Jam, Replacements n a few others have come out to publicly acknowledge that if not for CT their own roads would not have been paved or rather even opened so I love that just like ppl always said u gotta go thru the Chuck Berry school of lalala if ur gonna play pure Rock n Roll or u gotta go thru the school of the Rolling Stones if ur gonna learn how to do a kick ass live show well now finally u gotta go thru the school of CT if ur gonna be a great live band and songcrafters bc that is 💯 facts. All super talented at wat they do and have made their mark for good.
Nancy Brewer, I was at the Cheap Trick concert at Miami Univerity in Oxford Ohio back in 1989. It was my senior year. I've seen the boys about 3 dozen times since then. Where gave all the years gone?? BRAVO!!
so cute that there was even a "busy signal" back then. good lord I'm old...and thank goodness, because I was around for THIS genius first time around. great to be crusty sometimes...xo to everything Cheap Trick, forever!!!
oh Robin Zander, why on earth would you marry that former playboy model? when you could have had me, just think, my one bedroom apartment, and used Toyota Celica, could have been all yours...
LMAO! Well you see Emma, he was quite busy back in the day putting a restraining order on me for taking a poll on his property if i should be his next wife. Clearly he passed but i dont have a Celica so best of luck to you my friend!
They have a ton of great songs but this one is my favorite. You can't help but be in a good mood when you hear this. Musical Prozac... Also, Robin Zander reminds me of Kurt Cobain.
Got One on one from my uncle for my 8th birthday and I liked it so much I pretty much played it until it was smooth. He then got me all of the albums up until One on one and I continued getting the other ones as they came out. I've had your music on every medium since vinyl and been to more of your shows than I can count and you guys are just as amazing as when I first put the needle down on that album all those years back
I remember seeing this video on MTV when I was just a kid, loved the song and also remember being amazed at that 5 neck guitar lol, never saw anything like that before.
all over their lyrics, history and stage presence, Cheap Trick has Beatles references. "I had a smoke and went upstairs" straight from " A Day In The Life" these guys are awesome. great piece of americana.
Saw them in 1994, and they put on a helluva show: tight, razor-sharp and incredibly well-disciplined-what a rock band should sound like. Along with Steely Dan, Zander and Company have the best band in America.
This song along with The Knack define adolescent lusty & lascivious rock & roll, saw them at 1st avenue in Minneapolis despite them selling out Budokan & multiple worldwide venues, their tight!
I went to a Cheap Trick appearance many years. I wrote for some local weekly. I got paid nothing about the event. However, I got a CD autographed by the band, which never went to the stores. I was in a multi deep depression and gave it to a former sponsor. The band was very nice. Just a bunch of regular guys without an attitude and enjoyed the afternoon with their fans
Saw this band in the same swimming pool my family and I were in in Corpus Christi once. I was 8 years old and did not know who they were til I got home to Houston.This song was the first but I heard of their's. What a great one.Could listen to it a million times.
Marcus Morgan No question. Even the fact that Brett Michaels is on the phone at the beginning of the video for "Talk Dirty to Me" stands out as an obvious ripoff as well.
This is the first video I ever saw. It was on MTV. Back then, if you even knew someone with cable you were cool. If you had cable you were really, really lucky. And if you had MTV, well your life rocked !!!
"I got something to say to you, amnesia in the train of thought"...".Turn on the camera......get READY for action..." "turn off the radio, turn on the video!" haw haw haw...Cheap Trick you guys are the best!! Whadda a great jam! Sorry Bun E. Carlos was booted from the band. :( but Thanks for posting!
Hell Yes! I rememebr this one BIG TIME! This one really brings back some memories of me being a junior and dating a sexy ass senior at the other high school across town in Midland, Texas.

hands down one of the best bands of all time

I love his style, his voice, his hair, everything! I love how he can change his voice in different kind of music, he is a legend🤩❤️
Rick always says: “The BEST vocalist; he’s ever known …Robin Zander” - Rick Nielsen.
Jeannie pearce wants to know what time is creap trick coming back to st John's NL again to the Mary browns centre
Damn what memories of discovering MTV in the 80s. I completely forgot how hilarious the deadpan drummer was.
This song used to get heavy play on MTV in the early 80s. And at the time I assumed it was a pretty big hit but in fact it didn’t make much of a dent in the American charts. Still, it’s a damn cool song even to this day.
Great tune from one of the most important rock n roll bands of all time...

The flame is amazing. Seen these guys last week and wow they still rock

oh man. what a concert.
one of the coolest songs of the 80s!!!! very underrated indeed!!!!
thanks Steel Panther
>tfw steel panther got more views than the original
a hell of a good cover and video in its own right
um what?
@Coen Merriman why on earth would we do that?
@rj zander they're a good band but I don't see why we should that should make us want to get more views, steel panther rocks
I know don't know what was more awesome, her legs or the 6 neck guitar. Saw these guys a few years ago at a county fair, they are sill just as good, even if they are like 66!
Way underrated classic! Pure rock and roll at its best!
Zander might be the most underrated lead singer in rock history.
Absolutely!!!
When you’re a kid, you hear these songs but don’t read between the lines... But, as an adult, it kinda makes you wonder how a song like this got played on the radio with those lyrics: “SHE’S TIGHT” , SHE’S GOT HER HEAD DOWN TIGHT”.
I was thinking the same thing! I was 14 when this came out on MTV and the lyrics never really clicked but now, holy cow!
could be she kept her mouth shut all these years and wow now she lets her voices open up too!
Well, WAP got decent airplay in its day, sooo....
George Carlen said it best " 7 words you can't say on tv, also radio. And then there's that pesky 1st amendment, you change your tag name to KING CUCK.
We had class in the '70s and '80s now kids are listening to big dick energy on the radio
A very Happy 69th Birthday Robin Wayne Zander. Born in Beloit, Wisconsin January 23, 1953. Cheap Trick Fans are some of the most loyal fans ever. Many, many more Robin Wayne..
Robin is really cute here and Rick and Bun E are hilarious yet bad ass. I never knew Tom left the band for a time..
please tell me , it's not Tom qui joue je ne le reconnais pas ? je lis : Tom left the band for a time , Merci

Cheap Trick and only the great Cheap Trick brought me here.

Well…Steel Panther not only covered the song but got Robin to do a cameo in the video.

I love their work ethic. They've pretty much toured non-stop since 1977 and dont turn down any gigs -they just want to play.
Just saw them here in Reno playing their last tour date. Still sounds great and Robin said they’re coming back next year!

2 studs + 2 dorks = some great music
loved this album. tough time for all rock bands in the mid 80's with the onslaught of "new wave"
Cheap Trick still delivers it baby!
oh Robin Zander, why on earth would you marry that former playboy model? when you could have had me, just think, my one bedroom apartment, and used Toyota Celica, could have been all yours...
Maybe you should've sent him some pics.
Ha! love that Emma!
LMAO! Well you see Emma, he was quite busy back in the day putting a restraining order on me for taking a poll on his property if i should be his next wife. Clearly he passed but i dont have a Celica so best of luck to you my friend!
it was the 80's but yeah PREETY! he had great hair.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
If you like this song, you should check out the whole "One on One" album. All the songs are great!
Absolutely!!! I got this cassette when I was a freshman in high school and I wore it out. I just downloaded this album from itunes. Great memories!!!
They have a ton of great songs but this one is my favorite. You can't help but be in a good mood when you hear this. Musical Prozac... Also, Robin Zander reminds me of Kurt Cobain.
You mean Kurt reminds you of Robin. Let's get the syntax right, people!
Except Robin has a better voice and a head not filled with buck shot.
@@eljefemaximo5420 ha ha this comment is the world heavyweight champion.
This song should get more airplay. Not the same typical 80's song over and over and over again. /sigh
Brilliance!!!

He then got me all of the albums up until One on one and I continued getting the other ones as they came out.

+Erik Anderson Do you have a favorite LP? For me it is Lap Of Luxury.
you had a cool uncle
Thanks Steel Panther. And thanks also for making me know another cover , Cleveland Roxx, that is ABSOLUTELY perfect ❤❤❤
Still waiting Cleveland Roxx to be re-done. It has such a fuckin' catchy chorus!
This has to be one of the most under-rated songs of it's time. What a classic. I wore out the cassette when this came out.
rock n roll hall fo fame ... these guys rock.
I Love this tune. This was the first Cheap Trick song I had ever heard. you gotta love older brothers and their record collections.
Excellent tune!!!! Great memories of '82, seen them live in '95.........what a great show!!!
I remember when this first came out. used to drive with this cranked wherever I went .....where did my youth go ..time went too quickly...so sad
When Robins hair was tight and happening! cudos to you also Mr Bunney E Carlos.
I remember seeing this video on MTV when I was just a kid, loved the song and also remember being amazed at that 5 neck guitar lol, never saw anything like that before.
Bun E. Carlos is a mood.
all over their lyrics, history and stage presence, Cheap Trick has Beatles references.
"I had a smoke and went upstairs" straight from " A Day In The Life"
these guys are awesome.
great piece of americana.
Saw them in the early 80s.When Rick brought out the five neck guitar the crowd went crazy!😄😄😄
Fucking badass vocals. Whole band just kills.
That perspective at 1:57. You can CLEARLY see. . . I mean, it's SO obvious. . . that Rick needs ANOTHER guitar neck on that guitar!
Cheap Trick are one of the most underrated bands I know of.
Saw them in 1994, and they put on a helluva show: tight, razor-sharp and incredibly well-disciplined-what a rock band should sound like. Along with Steely Dan, Zander and Company have the best band in America.
This song along with The Knack define adolescent lusty & lascivious rock & roll, saw them at 1st avenue in Minneapolis despite them selling out Budokan & multiple worldwide venues, their tight!
Makes me remember the good days when MTV actually played music videos! Those were the days!
Great song. Great band!
I couldn't wait for this video to come on MTV back in the day. Love them!
I was zooming off of acid back in '82 when I first heard this. It's my favorite Cheap Trick song.
One of the top 5 songs of all time.
I went to a Cheap Trick appearance many years. I wrote for some local weekly. I got paid nothing about the event. However, I got a CD autographed by the band, which never went to the stores. I was in a multi deep depression and gave it to a former sponsor. The band was very nice. Just a bunch of regular guys without an attitude and enjoyed the afternoon with their fans
1:00 - Hey! It's my high school shop teacher! Cool!
This is amazing. Steel Panther are amazing. What a sexalicious riff and tune.
Blast from the past!! I forgot how f'n cool this song is!!
Omg 😆 what a fabulous song!!
one of the best from Ct..
Bun E. Scott was just too cool..
Saw this band in the same swimming pool my family and I were in in Corpus Christi once. I was 8 years old and did not know who they were til I got home to Houston.This song was the first but I heard of their's. What a great one.Could listen to it a million times.
Outstanding rock and roll.
This song freaking rocks!!! *Sigh* Back in the day when MTV was really MUSIC Television.
Simply put, just a great rock and roll band!
love it.
Poison jocked this riff so hard...
Ha thank god some people hear it XD
Marcus Morgan
No question. Even the fact that Brett Michaels is on the phone at the beginning of the video for "Talk Dirty to Me" stands out as an obvious ripoff as well.
It is an Eddie Cochran riff from 1959. Poison stole it, but so did Cheap Trick and many other bands.
I will ALMOST agree with talk dirty to me being a rip off. The main difference is these guys actually have TALENT
Underrated release. Love it.
They do not make songs like this anymore! This is the best of the best!!!!!!!!
the continuity errors makes this video hilarious...bet they did that on purpose
this video is the definition of rock'n'roll!
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I LOVE THIS BAND!. Long live CHEAP TRICK.
Even thirty years later, this gem smokes everything "current" on the radio/American Idol today.
Eddie Cochran knows that riff
Zander still looks good to be 60........I remember watching their videos on MTV....I love If You Want My love.....great song....
cheap trick rocks
Love ❤️ you guys
Classic song for my time as a teen. Love it!
My dad's favorite group!
The effects on the backing vocals are so tasty
My Top 5 favorite videos. MTV played this video all the time back in '82.
GREAT song!!! I miss the 80's
I miss being how old I was in the 80's!! 35 years later... but hearing this makes me feel young again, full of vinegar!
She was tight and it was good! So good! They were all tight circa ‘83 to ‘87 😊🎉
I have always loved them😘❤️
Damn, his voice. 😍
Cheaptrick is Over the top! KA all the way! BiG TiMe RnR! Great American Rock Band!
Love it! The chorus of "She's tight" sounds like The Cars.
"She's got her head down tight". That's classic.
Still one of my all time favorite music videos!
Cheap Trick
"She's Tight"
One On One
Epic Records, 1982
Thanks for posting this video...This is definately one of my favorite songs EVER!!! Rick Nielson kicks so much ass.
Nice shot at the end of Roy Thomas Baker on keyboards.
Holy fuck! REALLY?!
Legendary Producer! Too bad he only produced one album with Cheap Trick.
Dude, I always wondered who that was. Thanks for the info.
This is the first video I ever saw. It was on MTV. Back then, if you even knew someone with cable you were cool. If you had cable you were really, really lucky. And if you had MTV, well your life rocked !!!
This song will never get the credit it really deserves.
Cool tune from Cheap Trick.
can relate to the lyrics.
Bun E. the motionless drummer, but sounds like he is all over the place.
Who would give this song a thumbs down??
A woke idiot.
I remember seeing them in GA in 1984. I feel old lol
I saw then in Upstate NY in '84 too!
+DanaThoughts
i had a cheap trick shirt and their album in '78
Michigan for me in 79, I was 17. I may be old (er) but I DID get to see all the cool band's, and have 50+ tee shirt's, and ticket stub's to prove it !
DanaThoughts I saw then too in that year!
