I always thought "My Sharona was a cutting edge music!!!!!!!!!" It is 2024 and I think this song will be cuting edge for the edges to come. Long live "The Knack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For everyone who's curious Doug Fieger, 25 at the time (the singer) fell in love with a girl from a clothing store named Sharona Alperin, 17 at the time, but they were both in relationships at the time. He broke up with his girlfriend and went after Sharona. They were messing around, although she was still in a relationship. They started dating a while after he wrote a few songs for her; including My Sharona, That's What the Little Girls Do and (She's So) Selfish. They were together for 5 years, but broke up when alcoholism took over Doug. They remained friends. Sharona was with Doug during his last week, when he died of cancer. Also, Doug stated he wrote My Sharona from a 14-year-old boy's perspective.
Less age difference than me and my wife. But I was 40 when we met, she's from Japan, I'm not being taken over by alcohol (though I enjoy music a hell of a lot more with it) and we've already been together more than twice as long.
It reflects the stupendus amount of female privilege in the World. I hope you didn't end up wasting your youth away like 90% does, it is no good for a good man.
This came out the summer before 9th grade for me. What a blast from the past. A time so full of life and parties and fun. We were immortal and full of hormones. I'm so grateful I got to grow up in the 70's.
Like everybody else who was in a band back then, I lost count of the number of times I played "My Sharona". It never failed to get people up and boppin'! Can somebody explain how 45 years have gone by so quickly???
Yes it definitely was a cool fun filled drug induced that summer I believe it was the summer 1977 Things were jumping off God if we could only go back if just for a moment

I remember their 1st album, "Get The Knack." Bugged my mom that I absolutely needed that album and that all my joy in life was because of punk rock. I always thought the guitar solo on "My Sharona" was insane.
I was a freshman in high school in 1979 and this song was a dagger. We'd never heard anything like it. Elvis Costello, Blondie, and Talking Heads were out there but this was something so strange and new. That bridge was like a totally novel different hit song. We lost our minds to this song at Friday night dances. And it is still just as great today.
I was a senior so I was listening to some very very very good tunes and your right that this song was very different and very Good.. the music of the 70s and early 80s best ever and My Sharona was in the top 10% my opinion only..
My question is, why are more people not upset with the lyrics? He's a twenty seven year old singing about a Minor child turning him on. It sounds really creepy.
@@Lazy_eye_blobFishShe said she was about 16 or 17 when they met and he was 25 and they didn't even sleep together for another year or so after that. They dated for about 4 years.

@@Lazy_eye_blobFish I totally agree with you about the lyrics, yuck. I couldn't get the tune out of my head today, so I came here to listen and had that same ewwww reaction to the lyrics. Was reading some of the comments and was kinda surprised that there was a different definition of pedophile in the 70s. I'm going to have to research that one. And because 'she' was groomed for a year by him before they became intimate(allegedly)...well, I guess that makes everything okay for some folks. 👎🙄
Just been walking around my local co-op store buying some bits and pieces when this came on....when I got to the till the store cashier said she had just been watching me mime to the song as I shopped....she was highly amused given I am 70!
This whole album is pure fire... Just a classic lightning strike type album where every note lands right where it needs to and the whole thing is just bangers
It's just one of those songs that within the first 3 seconds, you absolutely know it and those guitar licks are so recognizable. It really jams all the way through the song.
@leokimvideo "Greatest guitar solo in pop / rock history" Not even close. There are at least two dozen better guitar solos by Pink Floyd, The Who, Eric Clapton with any band, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, The Eagles, Steve Miller, and too many more to name. "My Sharona", great song. The Knack, mediocre band with average musicians who hit it big as one-hit-wonders.
'Sharona' has become my aka. I was in high school when it came out, my boyfriend started calling me by that name, and now if I introduce myself as Sharona, it means I want to be your friend 🤓 Thanks, The Knack for making it such a dope song.. and yeah, that guitar! 🎸💓
@@hempchimp Yeah, GGD just missed the Top 10. Plus "Baby Talks Dirty" got to 38 so it was technically a "hit". True one hit wonders had only one chart hit, or one big song they're known for now that didn't chart at the time...but no others.
I'd just come to NYC in the summer of 79 and this song was blasting on the radio. I asked a nice Jewish girl what Sharona was all about. She told me it was about her ... Well, naughty bits. I later found out that Sharona was a girl's name! I was so naive at 23! Thanks, Robin!
Ive loved this song since its debut. ...Naughty bits, i didnt catch them myself back then. Fast forward until recently.. One of my grandsons best friends name is Sharone, a male. Well, now, everytime I hear Sharon's name, my brain goes right back in time to this song. I knew Sharona was a girl, and the "naught lyrics " dont compare to the lyrics of some of todays music. Great song, nonetheless.
My name is Sharina. It never fails that people from this era sing this song to me when they first meet me. In my childhood, I had no idea what they were talking about, but now I do! :D
I saw them in ‘79 in NZ when this song was at its peak @ no. 1 in quite a few countries. Got their autograph on the album cover ‘Get the Knack’ they were a huge break through band at that time but sadly never reached the same heights again with their future albums.

Once in a while, I go back to this song! It made me quit my job in Belgium late 90's. To join a Boston grunge band for several years /insane years of recklessness. Met my future wife before moving back to Belgium. Hearing this song makes me wonder how, why music can push you to do amazing stuff?! When I explain this story to my son while we're listening to this! He just shrugs! & say"you are crazy! " (Tim Boston)
the Knack was a rock band who wanted something different from the disco shit and did some regular rock , by the way this is a hella dirty song for the late 1970s haha ;)
Never really thought of this song as more than a cliché, but sitting down and listening to it, I have to say, what an amazing pair of musicians. Especially the drummer is wild!
This piece is just one of those really rare hits that is ABSOLUTELY Well Ahead of Its TIME!!! It still amazingly holds well today. Love the Knack for that! 😃
what the hell is a sharona? I love this song!!!!!! It will never go outta style. I was in 4th grade when this came out and Im 55 now and still love rockin to the 70's music with my man.lol
I was trying to remember how this song went. Until I looked it up today I was sure that the lyrics were ' my Corona'. I can't get that out of my head😆.
Got that one right! So much for "look good for my age"...chit its over, get in the box! Im an old guy. Oh well, now I can get fat fart and not care a bit.
In my 20’s, I dated a girl named Sharona. Every time I picked her up in my car i pressed on my stereo this song came on. At first it was funny by then she got really tired of it. I still remember 😊
Here I am 14 years later ... that guitar solo has always crushed. Sort of reminiscent of Eddie Money's "Two Tickets to Paradise" solo. Technically brilliant, and wonderfully melodic. Rock on.

Its actually the editors fault because multiple cameras are being used from different angles at the same time.

The people who know the editing equipment very well dont know the music instruments very well.
That tradition continues to this day 🙄
This is my favourite song ever, absolutely love it. My name is Sharon so I consider this to be my song.

Congratulations!

@@dangerawaits_bbx heard that before, not funny the first time.
always liked this song.
This song is probably the best rocking song ever !!! I do not why they unrespectfully cut the guitar solo in this version.. so bad who did that
SWEET! I remember cranking this to the full volume in the 70s!
The one song that got everyone up on the dance floor back then!
This song and "Pop Music" by M set the tone for the punk inspired new wave synthesized music of the 80s.

CLASSIC... I never get tired of listening to this one!!
un classic ! meme si au depart on pariait sur du rien du tout
A million times better than anything in the charts at the moment.
You forgot the "I was born in the wrong generation"
@@felixt808 IM SHAKING MY BUTTT DANCING!
You forgot the part where he sings about wanting sex with an underage girl.
.and say it was a summer hit back then
❤️ 1970s music, greatest music era ever
Once in a while, I go back to this song! It made me quit my job in Belgium late 90's. To join a Boston grunge band for several years /insane years of recklessness. Met my future wife before moving back to Belgium. Hearing this song makes me wonder how, why music can push you to do amazing stuff?! When I explain this story to my son while we're listening to this! He just shrugs! & say"you are crazy! " (Tim Boston)
I'll never forget hearing this song and seeing the video for the first time . Dec 1979
I remember this song as a kid back in 1979, one of the biggest one hit wonders out there.
good girls dont!
@@markrush5013 exactly. Came here to say, they had TWO hits
They also had "Can't Put a Price on Love" and "That's What the Little Girls Do." Not big hits but did get airplay.
My favorite.@@markrush5013
Same here
one of the most underrated guitar solos ever. I keep coming back to this after all these years.
You must not know who Eddie Van Halen is. 🤔
One of the best entries ever. I love the way the instruments are added. So wild.
oowww my little pretty one.
The Knack a awesome group i remember in 1979, when I was 13.
Definitely tremendous & amazing. One of the best guitar riff never heard.

This is a classic. I can get over this even after 30 years.
Back in 1979 when this song came out, I remember you can listen to the song all day long on the radio, imagine how popular the song was back then.
子供の頃ラジオから流れていました、衝撃でした😮
the Knack was a rock band who wanted something different from the disco shit and did some regular rock , by the way this is a hella dirty song for the late 1970s haha ;)
deepwoodskentuckian what do you know about anything else but rock music
Dick head
This was the beginning of Pop
one of my practice songs as a 70s drummer, but yes, that solo is out of this world.
One of the best rock songs of all time!
Damn straight!
NOPE!!!
They say that this song killed disco
Um
Power pop
This song created an accordion legend
Never really thought of this song as more than a cliché, but sitting down and listening to it, I have to say, what an amazing pair of musicians. Especially the drummer is wild!
Greatest underrated solo in rock history!
kick ass punk rock classic from the knack. a classic and always will be.
Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum Power pop
punk rock?
ehh
I will never forget putting headphones with long cord on and listening to this album …and being taken away 🎨⚓️🥰💝☘️💕💕💕💕💕☘️☘️☘️
This piece is just one of those really rare hits that is ABSOLUTELY Well Ahead of Its TIME!!! It still amazingly holds well today. Love the Knack for that! 😃
I love when people sing this song to me while saying my name ❤🎶
Well i guess you are somebody's Sharona. ☺
Summer of 79 song.
You are correct, sir! And what a summer it was, musically and otherwise.
Geil❤
I was being born. May 13, 1979.
@@chrissimpson6701 It was EVERYWHERE.
what the hell is a sharona? I love this song!!!!!! It will never go outta style. I was in 4th grade when this came out and Im 55 now and still love rockin to the 70's music with my man.lol
Popping this cassette into my best friend's Chevy Nova after school when I was 15...NOTHING BETTER!
How old are you now?❤🇵🇭

Hard to believe 1979 was 45 years ago.
@@Martin9476 The year I graduated high school
Oh i thought it was last year! I must be stuck in the 80’s
Got that one right! So much for "look good for my age"...chit its over, get in the box! Im an old guy. Oh well, now I can get fat fart and not care a bit.
Yep, I was in boot camp that year. This was on the radio a lot.
In my 20’s, I dated a girl named Sharona. Every time I picked her up in my car i pressed on my stereo this song came on. At first it was funny by then she got really tired of it. I still remember 😊
Here I am 14 years later ... that guitar solo has always crushed. Sort of reminiscent of Eddie Money's "Two Tickets to Paradise" solo. Technically brilliant, and wonderfully melodic. Rock on.
what do you know?
@@sallyjoan That guitarist have a name?
