The song impacted radio on April 3, 2006, although many stations had already begun playing the record, well in advance of the official impact date. The single saw plenty of attention〔http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BURB&p_multi=WBCB&p_theme=burb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=11396CD5A969BEE0&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM〕 and was a radio hit in America. The song was written by all four members of the band with American musician, songwriter and producer Linda Perry. Although the entire ''Rockford'' album was produced by Cheap Trick, "Perfect Stranger" was produced solely by Perry. The song was recorded at four studios; Kung Fu Garden, Los Angeles, California, Big3 Studio, St. Petersburg, Florida, Long View Farm Recording Studio, North Brookfield, Massachusetts, and Studio 419, Nashville, Tennessee. Like the ''Rockford'' album, the song was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, New York. For Classic Rock Revisited, Rick Nielsen was interviewed by Martin Popoff at the time of the album's release, with the article title "The Rockford Files". One question asked by Popoff was if the lyric of "Perfect Stranger" was Nielsen or Zanders. Nielsen replied ''"It's Linda, Rick and Robin. If you listen to the bridge, we all start as strangers. Everybody does. And, to this day, people that you've known for years, they tell you something that you've never heard from them. Or I have people that I know well that don't know what I'm doing, let alone somebody that doesn't know me telling me what I don't know. That's one of my sentiments on it."''〔http://www.cheaptrick.com/images/ClassicRockRevisited-feature-06.doc〕 In an interview with Rick Nielsen based in a Cheap Trick featured article for The Press of Atlantic City of June 29, 2006, Nielsen stated how the band had played the song live, stating ''"We did "Perfect Stranger," and that sounded great."'' On Rate Your Music, the song is listed at #856 for the top 1000 singles of 2006. 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「Perfect Stranger (Cheap Trick song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
