I grew up not really knowing about Cheap Trick at all. Maybe in a peripheral way, but that’s it. Some time in the past 5 years I picked up their Greatest Hits album, but it was a combination of the That 70’s Show opening + hearing some people sing their songs at karaoke + seeing a guy from a company we used to work with (hello Hothead!) sing this song at a live karaoke night for our former coworker Jen that drove me to it.

In college and just out of it, I was into a bunch of (or at least mainstream punk) bands like Blink 182 and NOFX, and my friend turned me on to this album. When I heard this song, I think I knew it was a cover, but didn’t give it much thought. Anyhoo, it came up on shuffle on my ride home tonight, so here you go.

Oh, and this version includes these bonus lyrics!

Megan.
She don’t eat bacon.
She’d never kill a sweet little innocent piggy to get bacon.
She’s one of them vegans.
She’s so sweet loving sweet talking loverboy vegan.
And that’s alright.

Here’s to you, Megan.
