I love the line about the parents listening to the son's Kiss records. I dig how it shows that they're just like him in ways that are most important. There's a bit of youth lingering around in everyone, even in your old ass parents :P
Well, my Mom did end up singing along to Alice Cooper when I was a teen and my son always secretly liked the fact that he first heard AC/DC and the Beastie Boys in his little car seat so..... Yeah.
Loved how this band blurred the edges of new wave, punk and straight ahead rock n roll. Few bands did it as effortlessly as they did and do. I still don't know how this many years later to categorize them. All the best things in life can't be I suppose.
Cheap Trick were hard to pigeonhole visually as well as musically. With two rock gods and two cartoon characters in their lineup, they didn't look like any other band. They certainly played up that contrast on their early album covers. It was as if the cool guys and the nerds from school got together in the same band and somehow made it work. You can almost imagine back in high school, Robin or Tom approaching Rick and Bun E. and saying, "Guys, you have to help me with my homework because if I flunk out my Dad is gonna kill me." "Uh, OK, we'll help you , but you have to agree to join our band".
The very next year "Orleans" came out with another weird one. "Love Takes Time" That one told young people if they hadn't found the love of their life, it was OK. Nothing wrong with that. But also against the landscape.
So true. I think it even goes a bit deeper. Something like "your parents will never understand them (and they'll never understand you), but they're a part of you whether you like it or not, and you can't be your own person until you understand that".
I live in Thailand. The first rock band I started listening to was Cheap Trick when I was 13 years old. I'm 58 years old now and I still listen to them.
Thank you guys. This song was the song I used to sing to my sons as babies for a lullaby. I don't know lullabies. Lol. So I sang what I knew. And this song a capella, in a slower tempo did the trick.
Thank you Cheap Trick for existing. I was 13 in '77 when my best friend Mike and I met up, likely the day after he'd seen KISS at the San Diego Sports Arena (super bummed I couldn't go; parents wouldn't let me). Mike and I were both already huge KISS fans, and at 13, seeing them in concert was a big deal. Fortunately, my parents let me attend the KISS concert the following year. Anyway, Mike and I did as we often did, skateboarded to the local Sav-On to browse the magazine section. Mike mentioned that opening for KISS was a band called Cheap Trick. They weren't getting any airplay yet, at least on KGB 101.5 FM in San Diego, so I hadn't heard of them. Mike said, "They were pretty good". So we checked out the current publication of Circus Magazine (featured info and photos of popular bands) and Cheap Trick was in it. Mike was trying to describe Rick Neilson's attire, and the contrast between his look and Robin Zander's. Circus made it all very clear...Cheap Trick was a very intriguing group of characters. Bun E. Carlos included (the '60s, white collar worker look was awesome). Shortly thereafter, Mike bought their In Color LP and I was even more fascinated by Rick Neilson, with the ultra-goofy garb, perfectly matching his silly face. But it was all that combined with the fact that he was a killer, down an' dirty rockin' guitarist that was so captivating. Needless to say, we all became huge CT fans in no time. I was proud to wear a Cheap Trick T-shirt to school on a regular basis. Between the late '70s and maybe late '80s to early '90s, I saw them in concert 11 times. A few times at the Sports Arena (got way too stoned that night, probably in '79), possibly once at the S.D. stadium, several times at the Del Mar Fair and once at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. As another youtuber wrote (a year ago), I too am glad to live in a world where (he said this song), but I'll expand it to...a world where this band exists. Cheap Trick played a big part in my experiences growing up and feel fortunate and blessed to have grown up in a great era. I still select and listen to Surrender on my high-end vintage stereo, always especially impacted when the part "When I woke up, mom and dad...", as I just think the vocals from there to "...got my KISS records ouuuuut" are genius. Big ol' phat and massive talent in that band...Hail Rick, Robin, Bun E. and Tommy! Bonus: Eu-uu, I need some brand-new shoes Southern girls, ya got nothing to lose Plus...their She's Tight video...man oh man, those were the days, watching MTV for hours after school. And that vid had fairly good rotation; might be among the greatest classic MTV music videos. And I am sorry, but we just don't hear enough singers yelling with max intensity, "So I got off the phone!" in today's music. I get it...it'd be weird if we did. But the excitement was intense...having just got the # of the girl we'd been yearning for. And that first ring up...stressful. I sure do miss the '70s and '80s. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end.
That's an awesome story and a great discription of Cheap Trick. I first saw them as the opening act for KISS in 1977. Became a lifelong fan of Cheap Trick. Their sound is unmistakable with Ricks blaring guitar and the big beat sound of Bun on the drum kit, plus the huge sound of Tom's 12 string bass and of course Robin's insane vocal range. I've gone on to see them over 25 times live in concert. From 25,000 seat stadiums to 500 fans at small clubs, Cheap Trick always puts on a fun and awesome show!!!!!!!! 👍
"Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right. They just seem a little weird". When Surrender first blasted out of our radios in the 1970s, I thought, "Wow. Somebody just wrote the perfect teenage anthem...a My Generation for my generation". I mean, The Who were like gods to us, but most of us did not literally hope to die before we got old. Mostly, we were interested in rolling numbers, rock and roll, and getting our KISS records out. I still love Cheap Trick and this song to this day.
This song is far above the time. And they were these unique teenagers who were able to say that "mommy's alright, daddy's alright" and make the others also see it. I can't tell how fuckin' much this song did hit me at the time when I was thinking my parents are fucked up. It took just a few minutes to change my whole point of viev.
I am a die hard Kiss fan, and these guys opened for them in 78 into 79 and were absolutely fantastic 👌!!!! This is my favorite song 🎵 of theirs and believe me I love all of them!!!
I do love this song. I love the... maturity, let's call it...of a rock band recognizing that their parents were not only young once, but they had sex, partied, and may even get those old feelings again from time to time.
I love love love the part where his parents are listening to his KISS records. My dad swears to everything under the sun that once in the 70's he walked in on my grandmother vacuuming to Alice Cooper and dancing around, which was the coolest thing I'd ever heard of!
Sorry about your Mom. I was also born in 1976- clearly it was a good year and she lives on in you and the music and art you will share with the next generation. It's gonna be great :).
What a great song, I swear! I remember I listened to this on heavy rotation back in secondary school and now I'm nearly 24 and a half! A classic which never gets old in the hard rock genre! Rock on, Cheap Trick! All the best, much health, and success! Respect from Romania! :)
Still after the years, this Band is a good reminder of the wonderful 80's sound. They play extraordinary shows and one of their best is "Live at Budokan" in Japan.
This Cheap Trick song, a timeless masterpiece!! It just never gets old and of course it still sounds really great after all these years. One of the most legendary rock bands of all time, Cheap Trick got their due the right way. This great jam is always worth listening to when you crank up that volume all the way up. Rock on!!!!

That is awesome. I loved Guitar Hero and Rock Band due to having so many of my fav songs on there. Also loved them for introducing younger generations to some amazing, classic rock songs. Rock on, Brotha! 🤘🏼
This song already has plenty going for it. But when they suddenly change keys at the start of the 3rd verse, omg, it's like a fighter jet hitting the afterburners! Just kicks everything up into an even higher gear for the homestretch.
There's also a key change even before the first verse begins. As if there was a non-existent pre-verse leading into the song and then it kicks into gear.
@Cheap Trick - Surrender (Official Audio) We went to a Cheap Trick concert in Modesto, CA at the Gallo Center for Performing Arts. What a blast from the past. They are getting as old as me: I've been rock and rollin' for 81 strong years.

im from Rockford where these guys are from, living here in the 2020s and hearing this music makes me so sad because it makes it seem like back in the 70s this town was alot more vibrant and "real" if that makes any sense. Rick is still roaming around this place which is cool, and his kids do alot of stuff with music locally.
Can’t wait to show my future kids the music my dad showed me as a kid when he eventually passes away the memories this song holds with me and my dad since I was 7 years old I’m coming on to 20 years old now thank you for ur amazing music taste that I can show our future generations 😅🎉😂

LYRICS: Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you. She also told me, "stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch." Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round. Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Father says, "your mother's right, she's really up on things." "before we married, mommy served in the wacs in the Philippines." Now, I had heard the wacs recruited old maids for the war. But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years. Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year? Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear? When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch. Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my kiss records out. Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Away. Away.
I saw them at Jones Beach with Rod Stewart a few weeks back. It was easily one of the best concerts I ever saw. And I saw Live Aid and about one hundred other concerts.
F is for Family - Bill is a big fan of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (Gunn), same here 😁 👍👍 Weird people (everyone) make weird kids, and the vicious cycle continues. Surrender and accept, smile and live with a sense of humour - always look on the bright side...
I can't believe until they released "Live from Budukon"(spelling) that they were from Rockford, especially since I lived about 15 miles from there! And my friend waited on Rick Nielsen and his son about 1982(?) when we worked at Walgreens in the local mall! 😊

Why does this song from the last 70s have such early 2000s punk rock energy
Because cheap trick was an extremely influential punk band
I thought they were an 80's hair/glam metal band, but this song came out way earlier than I thought!
Listen to XTC. They were already doing the 90s by 1978.
It’s the other way around 2000 punk isn’t unless they learn Cheap Trick
I thought this was a glam metal song and sung by Poison
They weren't punk, they weren't new wave, they weren't rock n roll, they were Cheap Trick 🤘

The movie would have been great without Adam Sandler and his gang at the casting and they would change with another actors
I ❤ 70/80/90's Rock music
The BEST
This band give me nostalgia
Songs been stuck in my head for what feels like years.
im from Rockford where these guys are from, living here in the 2020s and hearing this music makes me so sad because it makes it seem like back in the 70s this town was alot more vibrant and "real" if that makes any sense. Rick is still roaming around this place which is cool, and his kids do alot of stuff with music locally.
MOST TOWNS ,,,,WHERE .....THE 70s where FANTASTIC I was there
Can’t wait to show my future kids the music my dad showed me as a kid when he eventually passes away the memories this song holds with me and my dad since I was 7 years old I’m coming on to 20 years old now thank you for ur amazing music taste that I can show our future generations 😅🎉😂
Finally surrendered my cares to the great unknown. Feel freer than I have ever felt.
I love this song!!!
I love cheap trick and surrender
Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
But just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going round
Mommy's all right
Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey
Father says, "Your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married, Mommy served
In the WACS in the Philippines”
Now, I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's all right
Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
And when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling in numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my KISS records out
Mommy's all right
Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey
Away
Away
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Philippines
Friends in all places
Here here!!

This is my number one favourite song of all time it was in pixels and I love that movie
I grew up on pixels lol
SAME. And W pixels getting this cool song on their movie.
This song is a Classic Masterpiece
one of the band's best choruses, and everything underpinned by swirling keyboards and a terrific multilayered climax.
Pixels is a w movie
Such an amazing band. Deserve more credit
Drummer's killin it🥁

Forever grateful for Guitar Hero introducing me to a lot of great Classic songs 🙏🏻

Love...love...
Favorite Cheap Trick Song🔥

Guardians of galaxy for me
Pixels & F Is For Family Season 5 Brought Me Here
Conan brought me!
Una banda incomparable. ¡Gracias por toda una vida juntos!
I remember playing this on Guitar Hero as a kid. This was the opening song and it immediately drew me into rocking the guitar throughout the summers. Those were such great times! 😢
Fell in love with Cheap Trick after seeing 'Over The Edge,' seeing them live next week 🔥
A hidden gem.
80s!!
70's
This is actually late 70s
This song was far beyond it's time
*ahead of its time
I know! This seems like something Weezer or someone similar would’ve made
1.000s, of 70s songs like THAT ,
memories of this song when i played it back in guitar hero 2 when it came out! good memories!!
*THIS IS THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND USER!*
NANI? I will not BACK down
Over the Edge !!!!
I love it !!!!
THANK YOU !!!!
LYRICS:
Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Father says, "your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"before we married, mommy served in the wacs in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the wacs recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my kiss records out.
Mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.
Away.
Away.
The beat ❤❤❤❤
🤘🤘🌹🎸
I saw them at Jones Beach with Rod Stewart a few weeks back. It was easily one of the best concerts I ever saw. And I saw Live Aid and about one hundred other concerts.
They are a phenomenal live band.
still Love the harmonies awesome song !
There's something I just really like about this song. When I heard it on the radio I immediately thought "I need to look this up!"
This song was so ahead of its time. Like this seems like it could’ve been made by Weezer or someone similar in the 90s/2000s.
power pop is forever
This amazing music was a major part of my childhood, and im fuckin grateful that my parents exposed me to masterpieces of rock since i was born🤘
🤘🤘🎸
Over the edge
Shit yeah,classic movie and soundtrack.
F is for Family - Bill is a big fan of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (Gunn), same here 😁 👍👍 Weird people (everyone) make weird kids, and the vicious cycle continues. Surrender and accept, smile and live with a sense of humour - always look on the bright side...
I can't believe until they released "Live from Budukon"(spelling) that they were from Rockford, especially since I lived about 15 miles from there! And my friend waited on Rick Nielsen and his son about 1982(?) when we worked at Walgreens in the local mall! 😊
this is such a classic
This song rules…beautiful lyrics
I seen them here when I was a teen. Thinking about the state and seeing them again. Love this band
im surprised i love this song, lovin the rock vibe from this
