Slaylist: 'Surrender' by Cheap Trick

'Mommy's all right. Daddy's all right.' But is 'wax in the Philippines' all right?

I’d like to say it ain’t so, but the Slaylist (which, as always, can be found at Spotify) has become more of a monthly feature. Doesn’t that make it all the sweeter when it appears?

“Surrender,” Cheap Trick: When this song came out in 1978, I just wasn’t ready for it. In my pre-teen years “Surrender” was too edgy for me to appreciate. Let’s be honest: It was too edgy not to frighten me. Rick Nielsen was scary!

Really scary.
