Of course there are people named Sharona the song was actually written about a real girl named Sharona!! Since then probably other girls were named after the song.
ch ch ch chaperona- moderatto it sounds the same but I dont know maybe chaperona's solo is better than my sharona look for the mexican cover of my sherona
Rent yourself a time Machine, set it for Brooklyn, late Seventies,
and Lo and Behold all will be revealed to you. Kinda like reaching nirvana. Speaking of which Kurt Cobain thought this was one of the best songs ever written. I think it's mentioned on the insecticide liner notes.
Sharona is a fairly popular name but it' no Susan or Mary or Elizabeth.
I've know at least two and yes I do live in Brooklyn.
Yes, yes I could have just posted I know 2 people with that name, but i though a little levity might be enjoyable. If you did not find it funny so be it, most comedy is subjective very little is universal. If I has posted I know two people with that name would be so boring as not even worth posting.
Plus you can have your name changed to Sharona and then you would know at least one person named Sharona.
Finally on the show Monk, isn't his assistant named Sharona?
God bless Doug! Get The Knack was such a great album. This tune (in its full 5 minute glory), Good Girls Don't, their cover of Buddy Holly's "Heartbeat" were standouts from that wonderful debut album. I need to re-buy the Get The Knack CD if it's still available. Worse comes to worse will buy the vinyl and transfer to CD.
In memory of Doug Fieger. My Sharona was one big song and a huge success. As homage towards you and this song, here is our version of My Sharona in francais by the group SENSE
Doug was a counselor at Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp in 2006. He was really great - very gracious with his time and insightful coaching. Doug, thanks for the music and for being such a "star" in every way. RIP.
Some fine blues playing.here. I'm not so certain it should have been borrowed to sell REALITY BITES & CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2: FULL THROTTLE. It's a turn off for me when they have to build up a so-so movie like CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2: FULL THROTTLE with a classic hit. It's been done too frequently.
I did like REALITY BITES, but only to a certain point, The "insert a hit here" approach often misses the target.
This was a great band, they were great technical musicians, great guitar playing, singing, drumming, but they just couldn`t come up with the songs after this. That`s why I hate bands today. It doesn`t matter if they don`t have the songs, they just keep shoving image and image and more image down the publics throat.
How exactly can today's bands "shove image down the public throat"? Do you think we are forced to buy crappy music? We are free to choose any form of entertainment we wish. For example, did you feel compelled to purchase any Jonas Bros. marchandise? I didn't think so, you big dummy.
This song is just fantastic. Classic rockin cheese. Undertones` Teenage kicks is right there and in some ways better but not as sucessful. This song will never die.
This might have been cheese, but at the time it was darn great cheese compared to most of the disco that was out at the time (I was going into my junior year in high school that summer of 79). And besides, Weird Al Yankovic provided his, "My Bologna" to go along w/ the cheese!
The story I've heard is that the guys implored the lead guitarist to stick to the plan, and he agreed to do just that ... then went off into 'the zone' as all natural guitarists do ... and the glorious result we hear to this day was captured in just one take ...
The Knack had two singles off this album which were this and "Good Girls Don't". Also, the Get the Knack album was #1 for much of the summer of 1979 before Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door album knocked it out of #1. This album was a great album.
