"I Can't Take It" is a single by American rock band Cheap Trick, released as the second single from their 1983 album ''Next Position Please''. The song was written solely by Robin Zander, his only solo credit on a Cheap Trick song. The single was released as a 7" vinyl in America only. The song was not edited for the single release, using the song's album version, lasting a duration of 3:26. An American promotional 7" vinyl was also released, featuring the a-side on both sides of the vinyl. The b-side "You Talk Too Much" was featured on the cassette and CD version of the same album, written solely by Rick Nielsen. The song had originally been written before the band's 1977 "self-titled debut" album. The track was titled "Punch Ya" and a bootleg recording of a live version in 1975 exists. The track was originally supposed to be included on the original vinyl release, but Epic Records, forced the band to include other tracks such as a cover of The Motors' "Dancing the Night Away". Both tracks were produced by American musician/producer Todd Rundgren who had produced the entire "Next Position Please" album.〔 No artwork was created for the single, with the 7" vinyl itself being packaged in an official Epic Records sleeve. == Background == The single was released to commercial failure, and despite this, the song remains a fan favourite to date. Subsequent to its original release on ''Next Position Please'', "I Can't Take It" has appeared on several Cheap Trick compilation albums, including the 1991 compilation ''The Greatest Hits'', the 1996 four disc box set ''Sex, America, Cheap Trick'', the 2004 release ''The Essential Cheap Trick'', the 2010 release ''The Music of Cheap Trick''. "I Can't Take It" has become a concert staple over the years. A number of live versions of the song have been officially released. A live version was included on the 1999 live album ''Music for Hangovers'', a previously unreleased live version on the 2000 compilation ''Authorized Greatest Hits'', which featured 18 tracks picked by the band themselves, and the 2001 live album ''Silver'' where an acoustic version was performed.〔 In 2011, Todd Rundgren released his own version of the song on his solo album (re)Production.〔http://www.discogs.com/Todd-Rundgren-ReProduction/release/4242410〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Can't Take It」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
