The Knack - My Sharona (1979)

[sssiminel]

Home alone. Maximize volume. Play song. Start dancing!

[TheMaawnster]

Today I learned this song is in Super 8.

Thanks YouTube comments.

[doublefruiterzb4]

this is for my baby, she gets my motor running :)

[fifanx]

L'histoire est vraie. Sharona était une superbe petite groupie qui faisait craquer les musiciens. Aujourd'hui, elle est toujours aussi jolie et tient une agence immobilière.

[Bermas1992]

This songs been stuck in my head all day. Can't get it off. Constantly tapping my foot to the beat of the song haha.

[javafraps]

@crocodiliusz 0_0

[crocodiliusz]

MAH MAH MYYYYYYYY BALOGNAAAAAAAAAAA

[Moonchalice]

Oh crap, I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving a car and I just turned it way up and went "OH hell yes!" You have to move to this. May have been one hit wonders, but it was a great hit. (Play That Funky Music White Boy by Wild Cherry is another one like this)

[RightURKen7]

@Moonchalice The Knack were not a "one hit wonder" Good Girls Don't and Rocket Of Love were both top ten hits along with My Sharona.

[MrMickthemonster]

Blue light disco anybody?

[MediaSk8]

I, I, I ....GOT A BONER!

[thequest49]

'...she sounded like dr spock dr spock but she looked like courtney cox after nine coronas...'

[angelxemoO]

this song is "la mamada"

[areubaked]

celebrity trivia:  Doug Fieger's brother Jeff was Dr. Jack Kevorkian's lawyer! Like Dr. Jack used to say, "Death to disco!"

[areubaked]

The song that put a sword through disco's heart!  Things were pretty grim back then...endless spinning mirrored ball music...then this raw piece of rock came around. Sure, the music and the act owes something to the Who - and Fieger's resemblance to Keith Moon is no accident. Doesn't matter - 'cause this is the tune that really rallied hit radio back to rock. Thanks, guys - we needed this!

[albymontero92]

Makes me wish I lived in the late 70's

[SuperBurritosupreme]

[pervypirates]

This song is about rape

[InternetPerv]

@pervypirates no its about the lead singer fucking his girl.

[pervypirates]

@InternetPerv Close enough...

[telejimmy57]

@pervypirates "This song is about rape"

About Statutory Rape, perhaps. But it's not about the sort of occasion you're evidently dreaming of.

[jovaldes78]

Funny how guys dress like them now; skinny pants and ties LOL

[racourdav]

The Knack were sooooo fine!

[BeachBallEffect]

Way to rock on the lead guitar Simon Amstell! Love The Knack !

[johnnyrebelflag69]

[MariaxNegativa]

[bucketheadistheman]

@MariaxNegativa

You got it right

[Somethingsmissing94]

This is fucking brilliant.

[nutreez]

This is the first "garage band" label that I remember. You'd get in a lotta shite for this album nowadays.

[MissAnorexorcist]

I've had this stuck in my head for ages ;) it's really too bad that The Knack didn't release more material than they did.

[Longhornspot13]

I heard this song off super 8 and I looked it up because it's legendary

[Exert39724]

I think fucking the guitar was great

[ConservativeLogic]

3.2 beer!!!!!! 

[ABSTRACTCANNO]

[HackneyedMind]

3:25 hahahhahahahahhahahaha

[weRwednsdays]

my patrounus

[AnonymousB66]

Super 8, brilliant

[twinstu50]

Brilliant, bloody brilliant.

Fabulous words, Fabulous lyrics, (general public speaking here).

And, I am led to believe that 'Sharona' was prominent in the Los Angeles real estate fraternity, that so, then good luck to her!.

[delayization1]

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh,

Close enough to look in my eyes Sharona (8) !!



[delayization1]

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh,

Close enough to look in my eyes Sharona (8)!

[delayization1]

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh,

Close enough to look in my eyes Sharona (8)

[djsubzro]

Awesome memories!!

[mcham237]

Super 8 is the best movie of 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nonameavailableuser]

"runnin down the length of my fly sharona"

[nonameavailableuser]

they sing 'get it up for the younger kind' i hope they are 17 lol. btw sharona means penis

[VidsByDaniel]

@nonameavailableuser

No, Sharona is a woman's name. Doug Fieger was dating a girl named Sharona when he wrote the lyrics to this song. I don't even want to know how you got "penis" out of this!

[thecolaratlady]

@VidsByDaniel My youngest brother is married to a woman who's name is Sharona

[VidsByDaniel]

@thecolaratlady

That's cool. I've never met someone with that name before, but it's a very pretty sounding name.

[thecolaratlady]

@VidsByDaniel i guess so

[NWguy83]

the bassist looks like Andy Sandberg

[KarenVonVogue]

My my my ia ia wooooou!! eaaa!

[algerhistogram]

thumbs up if you love the song but hate that they BUTCHERED the guitar solo for the single version.

[andomi]

The bassplayer uses that pick with a ring around the thumb, first time i´ve seen this in Rock & Roll. Those are often used in my country by folklore guitar players.

[siloking]

@andomi geezer butler black sabbath all the time!!!!

[sjoekiloeki]

Typical one hit wonder-at least think so- great song, favorite.

[Supersweetguy]

@sjoekiloeki They came back in 1989 with a brand new song. I forgot what was the title of that song.

[MrFNPproductions]

im gonna call ma son sherona xD

[RoxieRoxBanana]

If I name my future daughter after this song is there something wrong with me? XD

[666iamit]

Pete are you in this? Who are you? Who Who:

We won't get fooled again.

[Brenda2OOO]

Thumbs up if just knowing The Knack was a goddamn good group and this was a killer song brought you here.

[kira00900]

[ayrtonthegreat]

@kira00900

LOL!!!! Messi sings! Buahahahaha!

[twinstu50]

'Sharona', a real person, was a very succesful real estate broker in Los Angeles.

[casestudyification]

Will always be a great song. Even Zappa parodied it constantly.

[GUSTAVO41954]

cut the premium here longer than ugly

[ninjamojo711]

@CoryWong707 my scrotum?

[reqrwetqqq]

Thumbs up if you came here after you watched Super 8 ;)

[98Waffles]

Is it just me or is the singer Pete Townshend's twin?

[Bertnahhaha]

@98Waffles

I thought he looked like Paul Simon! Haha XD

[xtcongo]

Great song, not as good as The Romantics what I like about you...which was the last video I watched.

[ElPlonk0]

@reivax205 That narrows it down...

[sibillamasieri01]

amo questa canzone

[boltonox]

Sad to hear the lead singer and co-writer of "My Sharona""Doug Fieger" died from cancer recently. In this very recent clip he looks like he only aged about 10 years in the last 30 years! R.I.P Douggy! Even though you guys never had another big hit song like "My Sharona", Your AWESOME power Pop master piece will live on FOR EVER MORE and continue to make millions of more people like me, feel HAPPY when ever we hear it! Cheers mate, you really did ROCK the WORLD for ever!

[thematacristo]

RICARDO MONTANER?

[pricelesspistola321]

anybody else think the lead guitar looks a bit like Tom Baker?

[BILL55MILLER]

One of the best guitar solos ever! Rest in Peace, Doug.  Your music will live on forever!

[siscoismyhomey]

the best part of the song is from 0:00 to 4:04

[U01623AA]

[PIENIEKHENIEK]

[hellokiitynerd]

whats super 8 ?

[epsteinsmutha1]

@hellokiitynerd Historically inaccurate. That's what Super 8 is/was. :-)

[scemodeguerra100]

@hellokiitynerd but where do you live?

[dragoblaze5]

@hellokiitynerd a movie

[TheJashinTV]

@hellokiitynerd that's what i said

[TheAzaMcG]

@hellokiitynerd E.T. 2

[Bendarr2]

@hellokiitynerd Super 8 was a video format for the home market. 8 Mm film in color and in some cases sound. It's how people took home movies before VHS and Beta camcorders became popular.

[Bendarr2]

@hellokiitynerd Also super 8 was also a motel chain as well. I don't know if it's even around anymore.

[MrBenson3436]

@hellokiitynerd A good movie about aliens. Its a good movie, but hell this song was out wayyyyyyy before that! Long Live My Sharona!

[thecolaratlady]

@MrBenson3436 Oh, it's a movie. i'll check it out

[thecolaratlady]

@hellokiitynerd  I've never heard of it, what is it?

[Shenoyk14]

RIP Doug Fieger

You smoked and passed on

but you were a smokin' good musician

[epsteinsmutha1]

Don't be long out in the sun, in the sun. Unless you want a case of mel-an-oma.

[tommyg524]

this is one of those tunes that the people nowadays who refer themselves as musicians can gauge their weaknesses on.
