Clock Strikes Ten
"Clock Strikes Ten" is a song released in 1977 by Cheap Trick on their second album, "In Color". It was written by Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen. It was released as a single in Japan, where it was a major hit and reached #1 on their singles chart. Its success, as well as the success of two follow up singles, "I Want You to Want Me" and "Surrender", paved the way for Cheap Trick's famous concerts at Nippon
the band's self-titled debut, features a more polished production in the hopes of making a commercial impact. While the bandleader Rick Nielsen felt the album may have lost some of its power due to Tom Werman's more layered production, "In Color" does show the band's more melodic side that was partially lost on the debut.
The album made the band superstars in Japan, where "I Want You to Want Me" and "Clock Strikes Ten" were hit singles.
