Mabey you guys can help me out with this. Ive heard this old song on the radio, it sounds as if its from the late 50s to early 60s. I thought that mabey it was one of the Rolling Stones older songs, but i couldnt find any evidence.

The only lyrics i can remember go somthing like this…"Mommys all right, Daddys all right, they just seem a little weird…Surender etc.

If any of yall could tell me the name of this song, and the group who sung it, i would be very thankful.

Wrong! It was on the 1978 album [Heaven Tonight](http://www.cheaptrick.com/discog1.html) .

Yeah, but it was mostly played off the 1979 _Live at Budokan_ album, and I imagine the single was a hit in 1980.
