Original artist?

I heard the song “Surrender” by Cheap Trick, and it’s somewhat different from the way I previously remember hearing it. Is their version a cover? If so, who is the original artist?


Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.

The lead guitarist Rick Nielsen wrote it. Perhaps you are confused between the “live at Budakon” version (kicks ass) and the sudio version (too tame)

Maybe it’s from the soundtrack of 'That ‘70’s Show’? I’m not a fan, but I know Cheap Trick does the theme, so maybe they did a version for the show.


Then we’ll turn our tommy guns
on the screaming ravaged nuns
and the peoples voice will be the only sound.
