Robin also lived in Chicago as a kid, he told me that himself. He is a master of voices and accents. This song happens to capture the south suburban accent.
Widen your horizons, there could be many accents from one person.

@sallysrock It is not a Chicago accent. It is a southern Wisconsin/northern Illinios accent. Robin Zander is from Beloit, Wisconsin. Beloit is just above Rockford, Illinois. A Chicago accent is very different from the way Robin Zander sings and speaks.

And, lest I forget, one of their most unfairly overlooked gems as far as the song goes. While the first couple of albums were good in different ways, "Heaven Tonight" was the one which REALLY found them establishing their style, combining the straight-up bronto stomp of the debut, with the Melodic, hook-laden songcraft of "In color", to make for their best album of the pre-Budokan period.
Their songs really stand up in concert. Some bands are not the same out of the studio but CHEAP TRICK is the real deal.
