[candi770]

LOL, he sounds just like a woman when he makes those sex sounds-lol

[Makkealamarkus]

This just way too similar to my sharona

[JohnnyShocker]

The Karate kid on drums! AWESOME!!

[exitoyfama]

my sharona 2 !! good!

[344cmg344]

Leaving apart the answer to "heylama2" -excuse me, it was a joke-. Now I want to know a detail: Can someone tell me what kind of Gibson Bass does Prescott play? Thank you in advance.

[ATamandua]

These guys looked like four upperclassmen from the Alpha Epsilon Pi house at the University of Illinois circa 1980. Such a pity that cancer got both Mr. Fieger and Mr. Gary, both apparently leaving no wives or children. Their lyrics were frequently not acceptable, but they prided themselves on their musicianship and BOY could they blow away anyone I'm hearing in that department in American music today.

[hardyboyzrko]

This was the next song that came out after Sharona and I kinda laughed and said isnt it the same song

[andrewman83]

I never knew Ralph Macchio played drums.

[megafan31]

wow this is to the same exact same tune as my scrotum (my sharoma)

[SuperDachshund]

@megafan31 It's not the same song. Doesn't even sound like the same song. You've been sucked into the 3 decade old feud they've had with critics who also think the album cover of "Get the Knack" looks like "Meet the Beatles." It's four guys on an album cover. Been done a million times.

[ChristianU2ubeh]

@SuperDachshund I'm gonna list all the bands I know who've done that just for shits and giggles. Montrose, KISS, all the Beatles' albums, and that's all I can think off lol.

[SuperDachshund]

@ChristianU2ubeh Van Halen, Rolling Stones, Rush, Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath just off the top of my head without googling.

But not Iron Maiden. They've never done an album cover like that.

[exitoyfama]

@ChristianU2ubeh mas respeto para the beatles

[DulceGoesRawr]

the "uh, uhh, uhhh" parts make me crack up!

[f3d3z]

Es Messi, jajaja

[K6C10]

@f3d3z haha

[sofistasurfista]

Lionel Messi look alike

[trucker274]

love the song, but the groove sounds a lot like my sharona

[ballroomblitzkid1994]

Oh my God...for some reason, I can't stop playing the moaning parts. Must...resist...now..."uh, uh, uhhhh"!

[DaveWollenberg]

The Knack hit #38 in Billboard, 3-15-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Doug Fieger. Shalom.

[elsariguella]

se parece a pete townshend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LDSPAIGE]

His turn on look is kinda creepy..

[heylamma2]

[6prereq]

[Slashh222]

[344cmg344]

@heylamma2 The Lord of the cowbells ¡ja-ja!

[dkthg]

@Salguine You mean its NOT?! Damn i've been jackin off to the wrong site!!

[iamavampo1]

[MrBetovenforever]

autoplagio de my sharona

[blackfreakm]

fuck, all their songs have "that rhythm" soooo fuuckin' gooood!!!! Doug we will miss you

[indiodormido]

The Knack sembró la semilla del Rock pegajoso y a la vez fuerte. Todavia su musica se puede disfrutar.

[alterial1]

Awesome group just sad that the lead singer and the drummer are both gone now...

[Abbebeck]

Some people wonder how that chick in the chair got the gig, when the song is about Sharona, well, she was just next in line!

[MrJluis22]

Excelente Rock, Siempre los escuchaba en Lima ´80´s.

[imikewillrockyou]

This riff is very similar to the riff they used in "My Sharona". Both playing off octaves and very cool riffs. The hook that makes the song.

[shmuli9]

@imikewillrockyou Indeed... it sounds, more or less, like 'My Sharona'... Quite derivative... (I remember both songs from 1979-1981)

[imikewillrockyou]

@shmuli9 Both riffs were winners for sure. Brilliant really.

[fortoate]

doug looks like pete Townsend and keith moon mixed lmao!

[adictk]

jajjajajaja messi

[HaloFps]

The lead singer looks like Messi :P.

[drkam6]

At 1:44 awesome Berton - like Page!

R.I.P. Dougie - you're sorely missed

[frizzi]

Messi?!?!

[planetboom]

way to recycle your annoying song SHARONA. decent chorus though...

[piraan2]

My serona in other package....

[cyberzonie]

Grew up listening to this...........great times!

[zacandtaylorrule]

Great song from an overlooked album and band. RIP Bruce and Doug.

[luisonlinemarch]

Good times Roll!!! Basic Band..Great sound..just 3, I mean a great song dont need technic...just talent.

[63suigeneris]

Excellent band, remenbering 80´s, what a great time¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[wotdoesthisbuttondo]

fuckin stompin

[63suigeneris]

Sensacional grupo ochentero. Rock explosivo y lleno de energia.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #38 in Billboard. God bless! RIP, Doug.

[NamathTheLegend]

I have always thought the album cover for But The Little Girls Understand was COOL because we don't know what the girl in the picture is looking at! The moon? etc.

[check6ii]

Thank you Doug and Bruce.

[cckeach7]

RIP Doug Fieger...

[partyspecialists]

[cadolfan13]

Agree. Underated. RIP Doug and Bruce.

[TiramisuHappy]

I was about 12 years old when this track was released as a single. Of course, I ran to the record store with my brother immediately to buy it. And I already had the "Get The Knack" LP!!! ; D

Thanks for all the great memories, Doug!!

[swampula]

Great Band! RIP DOUG!

[jeph67]

Underated band...rest in peace Doug.

[anchelicht]

[2degucitas]

RIP DOUG!!!!!

[AnacondaTwelve]

NUKE THE KNACK

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

The summer of 1979 had a lot of great memories for me. Elvis Costello. Joe Jackson. Devo. Talking Heads. Nick Lowe. Dave Edmunds. And of course, The Knack. The group that killed disco!

[seahorsebreath]

Gracias por todo, Doug Fieger... Gracias por la música tan increíble que nos entregaste.

[DanteDDL67]

RIP Doug..Thanks for ALL the great songs.

[mildude45]

[Peelick]

So True!!!!!!!!!!

[Darna668]

great song

[catcookie]

I really like the 3rd album a lot. Radiating love is a

great. song

[elopez333]

Great song! I liked it better than "My Sharona." People think it's the same riff, but it's actually completely different. One of the best all time rock-n-roll bands ever! At least they could play their instruments!

[tryithere]

This song has like 3/4 of the my sharona beat.

[ladyislingering]

I love these guys. <3

[TheKnackRules]

She got to be in trouble all night!

[uglydermis]

i think who this video inspired to scott weilland for make'' big bang baby'' video

[BaalRules]

my favorite Knack song.

[brewchugger]

what a sad freakin' attempt to "my sharona" it again...please, bitches...

[jtrebes]

Nice song - underrated.

[kurzslus]

@jtrebes well its bassicly almost the same as my sharona.... but good song

[ziffels]

Does anyone know if the second album is posted on here? I'd love to hear "Rave Up".

[forestmaster100]

sounds like he humpin someone

[IndyRoxxx]

RIP Bruce Gary. A major part of the Knack sound.

[Cerealisly]

Join the legacy. Bring back rock and roll. I'm 13 years old and i miss the good old days that ive never actually seen.

[erisdragon]

you're right, bro...

[northweststar1001]

@Cerealisly you got good taste!

[eeksgalBEP]

@Cerealisly Kid, you're cool.

[pelamar121]

@Cerealisly same!

[7mileshot]

@Cerealisly kid shut up its youtube and plus rock and roll never left....fuckin noob....

[BlazingMaryJane1]

they only have one really go0d song

[colemann76]

wrong

[cjolson78]

im sorry but this sounds like my sharona but with dif speeds

[Drumzncymbalz]

thats OK Sharona was a good song and this is their signature sound. Nothing wrong with that. It works for ACDC on every song and no one complains..

[munchnomnomz]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The look Doug gives at 3.21 is hysterical. Oh yeah, try to be sexy xD

[andreasIvanschitzxd]

i love that song it has great rythim!

[ThePaistecat]

Not too many people know Doug Fieger was in Triumverate, a progressive ELP-type of band, and Bruce Gary was in Jack Bruce's band, a total fusion-type thing, the bass player, Prescott Niles, was originally Niles Prescott, in a bunch of early '70's bands. I saw Doug in the Sunset Bombers at the Starwood.

[sussiQiu]

...don't tell me...this must be the follow up to my sharona. the classic line-up of the songs of the 80's: 2 almost identical songs followed by a ballard.

[zacandtaylorrule]

I love The Knack. Too bad the video for Good Girls Don't does not have the original lyrics.

[trav6155]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[skok65]

This is a crackup. Didn't Asia do a video on this same set?

[Rymylys]

This is My Sharona. Wait ftw?

[roemi77]

very goooooooooooooooooood song!!!!!!!!!

[b62beers]

One of many songs that was popular for about 3 months and everyone forgot about it (except us few who check it out!). I still have this song on a 45 RPM. Also "Good Girls Don't" is an excellent song. Unfortunate that "My Sharona" is th only song associated with the Knack today, though it is a good song, too.

[DaChieftain]

"Back in the day", this tune was considered to sound too much like "My Sharona" and, as a consequence, didn't get as much airplay as it probably deserved. And the Knack was considered by many to be a One Trick Pony and thus ignored.

[theonlyone0307]

He looks like Lionel Messi

[paolorossifan2006]

he does too. messi probably has a bit more hair

[7thDayAtheist]

The Knack were great...very tight band. But the only thing Fieger didn't realize about a song like this is that he had zero sex appeal visually for a song like this to work. There were other things that sank the Knack ultimately, but if you are going to be so blatant about fetish sex in a song, you have to back it up with something other than goofy faces and groans.

[Hope2009pc]

In all do respect. What would the"something other" be.

[7thDayAtheist]

The something other would be what Fieger couldn't do - have the camera focus or switch to a different visual other than himself. A hot girl comes to mind. Now I realize that videos were in their infancy at this point and in hindsight the solution looks simple, but that would have been the "something other".

[Hope2009pc]

Thanks.. good answer..

[dogdyedblack]

Well put. I've been listening to their first LP a lot lately, and I'm just struck by how brilliant the songs and playing are. If Fieger had been a more compelling front man, and their lyrics were a little less obnoxious they could have been one of the greatest bands ever (well, they also seemed to run out of top material pretty early in their career too...)

[7thDayAtheist]

agreed...the first LP is phenom....they were so tight during the recording that they basically played the sucker live and had it in the can within a week I think...

[JRNYman]

dogdyedblack-

Yours is a very astute analysis of the band.

I was working at a big chain record store (a nearly by-gone entity, these days) when The Knack broke out! They were HUGE and we sold a ton of the records and even more 45's ( all you young 'uns who are clueless can Google

"45 rpm")! They were even hailed as "The Next Beatles",

Well, THAT never came to pass, but EVERY song on 'Get The Knack" is awesome...great lead vocal, tight harmonies. wailing guitars and a driving beat. Cool!

[vanhouten7377]

this was on thier second album called but the little girls understand

[JRNYman]

True, this song is from BTLGU. Sorry if my remark seemed misleading to you about which album this somg was from.

My mention of "Get The Knack" was in reference to my comments about their debut album and how every song on it is a true gem. While the songs on their follow-up album - BTLGU - were generally very good, not EVERY one was as stellar as those on GTK.

[77pintoboy]

I remember this from april-may 1980 when me and my buds used to hang around mcdonalds and get drunk in the parking lot sitting in my buds mercury marquis.

[mignonhenne]

u know me - where is wendy ?

[RickStylus]

they were an really nice XD

[avefenix2000]

He`s  Lionel Messi, the soccer player! xD

[colemann76]

Better than My Sharona!

[sk8tingjester]

the knack rock

[pirrung123]

More Cowbell :o)

[kirkwanglers32]

Good Band

[jeffpeless]

I know Dougs brother Geoff, and Doug is definately the coolest of them! the knack is great!

[elazganador]

y quiene s la nena que habla lisuras?....

[JahalomSjachor]

Thanks for sharing Gary, me likes!

[SlipxFCKNxKnot]

best song ever

[okume4405]

マイシャローナの二番煎じ　これは酷い

[PerfectlyOriginal]

i love that little move he does at 56 - 58, brilliant song.

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

doug looks like FLETCH! : P

[LeotheLargBluepelt]

good movie fletch was

[NelsonClick]

Like the song...always have BUT if some band would re-do, update and remodel this song I think it would be a great choice. Solid bones but was never fully fleshed out.  The fact it wasn't a hit will work in your favor because few people would associate your version with theirs. Trim the fat, add percussion and some counterpoint (third verse begs for it) and BOOM!

[obrike]

Fantastic! Great memories of adolesence! Perfect band for a 13 year old...or a 40 year old.

They kick ass!

[colemann76]

Better than My Sharona

[edgarallanpoet]

Nothing like "Stripped down Rock n' Roll!"

[RedCheka]

his face at 1:23!! ahhh!! hahahaha

[swimminstuff]

delicious!!!!

[ghettoballer247]

ugh ugh ugh! lol thats how he sounds =]

[ghettoballer247]

me 3

[mjbari3]

Just fantastic! It is nice to see Doug not trying to be John Lennon and being himself; and he is very sexy in this video!

[HABMAN01]

ah ah ah ah

[ThenItsLove]

lol..i could but i wont kool song

[latinmix]
