- I_Want_You_to_Want_Me abstract "\"I Want You to Want Me\" is a song by American rock band Cheap Trick. The song was first played in 1975 and first appeared on their second album In Color in 1977 and was the first single released from that album, but it did not chart in the US.Cheap Trick bass player Tom Petersson told Classic Rock magazine:\"My recollection is that [songwriter Rick Nielsen] did that song as a bit of a joke, because at the time when we had done that song there was a lot of pop music on the radio - ABBA, and all sorts of things, disco, [Rick thought] 'I'm just going to do an over-the-top pop song. I just want to do one that's so silly - total pop - and then we'll do a heavy version of it.' He didn't know what was going to happen with it. The idea was to have it like a heavy metal pop song. Cheap Trick doing ABBA - except a very heavy version.\"Rick Nielsen explains his perspective behind the song:“I just pictured myself in a big, overstuffed chair, and my dad turned on the TV; there were like three stations. I wanted to watch Gabby Hayes – he was a cowboy. I always wanted what wasn’t there, so I think that’s what made me inquisitive throughout my whole life. When you wanted Gabby, Gabby’s not there; when you want your dad, your dad is not there. It was the easiest lyric I could think of. And I wish I were that stupid more often. It’s like Van Morrison – with some of his old songs it didn’t matter what the lyrics meant, it’s how they sounded.”Years later, Nielsen and Petersson criticized the lightweight production of \"I Want You to Want Me\" as it originally appeared on their second studio LP, \"In Color.\" Cheap Trick went as far as to mostly re-record that album. Producer Tom Werman explains:‘“I Want You To Want Me\" was a fabulous dancehall type of song, and a perfect pop tune, and it was meant to be a little campy. I put the piano on – a guy named Jai Winding played it. I remember asking the band what they thought of it, and Rick Nielsen kind of shrugged and said, ‘You’re the producer’.” Further: \"It was a burlesque song, like a 30’s number. That is what they wrote it as.\"\"I Want You to Want Me\" was a number-one single in Japan. Its success in Japan, as well as the success of its preceding single \"Clock Strikes Ten\" and its followup \"Surrender\", paved the way for Cheap Trick's famous concerts at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo in April 1978 that were recorded for the group's most popular album, Cheap Trick at Budokan. A live version of \"I Want You to Want Me\" from the album Cheap Trick at Budokan was released in 1979 and became their biggest selling single, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, representing sales of one million records. In Canada, it reached #2 in on the RPM national singles chart, remaining there for two weeks. It was also the band's highest charting single in Britain, where it reached #29.The single was certified Gold in Canada for the sale of 5,000 singles in September 1979.".
