Excellent cover performance, this is such a classic catchy tune, one of those great night club or karaoke anthems, love your rendition.

Magnifique interprétation, superbe réalisation ! 👍🏻 👏 🎶

Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
In the WACs in the Philippines
Now I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender By Cheap Trick

A stripped back cover of a cool 80s track from a cool 80s band, Tears For Fears.

Thanks to Pete Palazzolo, who is an inspirational performer whose cover of this song is far superior to mine 

Head Over Heels

I will assume that most will no know this tune because it is from one of Bowie's later LPs called "Heathen" (2002), but I am so here is my take.....

"Slow Burn," the David Bowie song, explores the themes of societal collapse and a dystopian future, particularly in the context of a gradual, almost biblical, decline. It depicts a world plagued by fear and spies, set in a "terrible town," and touches upon the idea of a "slow burn" leading humanity towards its end. 
The song paints a picture of a world on the brink, with societal decay and an atmosphere of dread. 
It evokes a sense of an impending apocalypse, drawing parallels to the "end of times" described in religious texts. 
The lyrics suggest a gradual, rather than sudden, downfall, implying a slow, insidious deterioration of society. 
The line "At the center of it all" is seen by some as a precursor to Bowie's later album, "Blackstar," and its exploration of similar themes. 
The song fits within the overall theme of "Heathen," an album dealing with spiritual decay and a perceived decline in 21st-century values. "               Google Generative AI

Backwards (2025) – The Collision of Pride and Redemption A heavy head on dive into the tension between rebellion and grace, Backwards thrashes with raw conviction. The heavy riffs and haunting lyrics mirror the spiritual battlefield as pride fights to hold on, while surrender shatters the chains. When we find ourselves to be caught between resistance and renewal. Remember, redemption through Jesus doesn’t ask to be earned. It arrives, unexpectedly, as a gift, turning everything backwards.

Lyrics:
Hey diamond 
Found you here
Among the rough
Exactly what I was looking for

Oh, proud to be gold setting
On infinite circle
Resting ‘round third finger

Well, when you say my name
Will always feel the same
And I’ve been dreaming of you

Hey diamond
Brilliant, stand out
Catch the eye without trying
Sparkling sunrise

Its not always the way around
Things you’re thinking of
Things you think are ordinary

Oh, tied to me
Tied to each other
I found you or you found me

Well, when you say my name
Will always feel the same
And I’ve been dreaming of you

Its not always the way around
Things you’re thinking of
Things you think are ordinary

Among The Rough

‘When You Walked In’ is the fifth studio quality Grey Hounds song to be released, this one is based on a true love story. It started life as slower ballad, but as we rehearsed it as a full band the speed was increased, and it got punked up to sound as it does now.

When You Walked In

PROMO of my cover 'The Duel'

The Duel#PROMO#

We're on a one way track. There ain't no turning back.

Lead vocals: Ninezero

Lyrics:
The game is over
No turning back
Is there another
Way to stay on the track

There’s no defender
Against the attack
Will we remember
How our fathers faced the dark

What is the outcome
In a world driven by fear and trickery
But the revenge will come
When the weak will kill the beast

My wife lies under
The point of impact
They won’t cry for her
Her death is so abstract

Our sons are warriors
They are bound to fight
They'll die by fire
Shot by apocalypse knight

What is the outcome
In a world driven by fear and trickery
But the revenge will come
When the weak will kill the beast

The game is over, there ain’t no turning back
The game is over, there ain’t no turning back
The game is over, there ain’t no turning back

Oh, no turning back

No turning back
No turning back

Game over
