Cheap Trick owns Lennon’s Cold Turkey. Not an easy task. This version was part of the tribute project “Working Class Hero”. Most of the cover versions on it were pretty weak IMHO, with the exception of this and Mary Chapin Carpenter’s cover of “Grow Old with Me”. My attitude with covers is pretty simple: make it your own. If you are just going to do a straight cover, what’s the point? You should own it. Granted, Lennon’s stuff is hard to do… Difficult. Not impossible.
