      ...The only reason it "wouldn't make it on the radio" [if such a thing, still, EXISTED!] is 'cause: It's too GOOD! 👍👍
      ...I mean: I don't recall ANYONE bringing-up, even, the POTENTIAL of a relationship that Feiger had with a girl, AT THE TIME, AT ALL (MAYBE in California where "gossip is stock-in-trade,"🙄 but: it was NEVER mentioned, AT ALL, elsewhere! ...until (at MINIMUM!) decades later!!!)!!!!
      ...Nowadays there are voluminous amounts of [so-called!] "artists" **cough-cough** who wrote lyrics about "if you don't prefer anal, g.t.f.o." and other such shit. "Lurid" doesn't even BEGIN to cover it! Openly "rapey" **ahem--ahem!!!!** "culture" and assertions/attitudes are EXPECTED and celebrated!! ...so: your idea that "this song would never make it on the radio" (if such a thing, even, EXISTED, anymore!) is, likely, from an older, more appropriate sensibility and an unfamiliarity with the openly, lewd, stupid, pointless shit that passes as "lyrical content" in the current day & age!
      ...or from someone who did not grow-up knowing anything better/less intolerably stupid and aggressive🤦) which (despicably and, actually, sadly!) masquerades as/under the fallacy of: 'expressive freedom' 🤦🙄, nowadays...🙄🙄)

    When this came out in '79 it was at the time when New Wave songs were first beginning to make it onto the mainstream rock stations. This was a track that both the classic rockers and the New Wavers liked. And yes, the guitar solo is killer. By the way, the single version left out a large section of the guitar solo.

    Their next hit was "Good Girls Don't" which reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is also a "dirty minded" song.
    "And she makes you want to scream; wishing you could get inside her pants" (this line was re-recorded as "wishing she was givin' you a chance" on the "clean" single release):
    And it's a teenage sadness
    Everyone has got to taste.
    An in-between age madness
    That you know you can't erase
    Til she's sitting on your face (and it hurts!).
    The "clean" single edit also changed this last line to "when she puts you in your place."

    Bruce Gary [the band's drummer], RARELY gets his deserved accolades!
    (perhaps among other musicians 🤷)
    ...but he is a monster player, in fact.
    As much as Fieger & Averre were "the song-writing team" (for the most part);
    the core reason for the band's tightness, rapid-fire energy & overall quality, were
    (the rock rhythm section of):
    Drummer, Bruce Gary
    and
    Bassist, Prescott Niles.
    Bruce DID have the advantage of being the only member born & bred in N.Y.C. 😋🤘🤘
    ...but y'know.... 🤷🤪
    -The entire Get The Knack album is, top-to-bottom, worthwhile!
    "Lucinda" is one of my most favorite "unknown" (to MOST people) cuts! 🤘🤘
    ...Get The Knack
    and Round Trip
    are necessary albums in the collection of anyone who: really likes music from this period; any pop-radio-leaning, melodic rock fan, any new wave fan and any fan of the brief fart of a "movement" which often is, now, "historicalized" as "California Power-Pop" or "the Power-Pop movement of the late '70s & early '80s" (in the U.S., that ONLY existed in Cali.!).
    Anyhow: underappreciated, excellent albums!

  • @Agg1E91
    @Agg1E91 3 місяці тому +2

    This is a textbook example of an unexpected different song contained within a song. The entire song of verse and chorus is consistent and integrated throughout. Straightforward. Direct, uncomplicated sections and production. Then, out of the blue, a monster guitar solo that the listener does not see coming blows your head off and then, flip the switch and we're back to the rest of the song.
    It's like they had My Sharona pretty much ready to record but it lacked that certain...something. On the side, the guitarist had this crazy solo thing he'd been working on, but it didn't really fit what the band was doing. So the band said, "Eff it! Just stick it in there, as is, near the end of the song. We'll do a short transition in and out, and we're done!"
    Honestly, I wish they had written a song that sounded a lot more like the solo. The rest of the song is just a little too...basic for my tastes.
    A number of songs have surprise moments where an entirely different song breaks out for a few bars, but this one takes the cake.

    I've been hearing My Sharona for 45 years and never really paid attention to the lyrics because the music was so fire. I just sloughed it off as a song about young love but one line in particular is highly questionable morally and possibly legally. Great melody and energy though and the guitar work throughout - lead, rhythm and bass - is outstanding especially the solo.
    Perhaps the best example of a massive hit song with a great melody but misunderstood lyrics is Every Breath You Take by The Police. It's not a love song but a stalker/controlling song. Not only that but I maintain Sting more than borrowed words and theme, intentionally or not, for Every You Breath You Take from Led Zeppelin's D'Yer Mak'er from 10 years earlier.

    As others have stated, The Knack was not quite a one hit wonder. Good Girls Don't made it pretty high on the charts too. My Sharona is definitely on every top list.

    I appreciate that you included this in the marathon but this is not really a one hit wonder. Good Girls Don't was also a hit from this phenomenal debut record which is one of the finest debuts ever. Along the lines of Boston, The Cars and Van Halen and Foreigner from the same era.

    " I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind " ?!? Slightly raunchy lyrics. Good beat, though.

      Close enough to be misheard as ‘other kind’, which gives them Plausible Deniability.
      I mean I was 13 when this song came out. So a few of the risqué lyrics & innuendos were lost on us… Didn’t take long to figure it out though.
      One thing that seems to go frequently unnoticed, and I’m writing mid video, I didn’t watch the whole thing yet, so I don’t know if the fellas are listening to the radio version or the album version but the guitar solo near the end of this song is straight up fucking FILTHY!

    With this song, resistance is futile. It just grabs you and take you for a ride. And while you're free to be as modest and self-effacing as you like, Nick, you're obviously very bright. (We can't, of course, account for your 10 year-old self. Just kidding.😆)

    Check out this same group and their song "Good Girls Don't". I always wondered if it is the sequel or a different girl. Much more explicit lyrics. They really were not a one hit wonder.

      Um, yea, I thought you were talking about a beer until you said Toyota and on the road.
      Bob, I'm quite sure you're friends were singing about beer and you were confused. I don't think ANYONE registered a Corona at DMV.
      (of course there's the anatomy meaning of Corona as well! - STILL never one registered at DMV!) Corona works better than Corolla, both because Corona rhymes, and nobody brags about their Corolla! 😆

    I actually thought that this song was about a kind of car [a Sharona definitely sounds like a vehicle!].
    ...Yes, later, I got the album and read or understood the lyrics and ...changed my mind 😛
    ...but still. (C'mon!!
    People in California, EASILY, love their cars more than their significant others! - or: at least as MUCH! 😛!)
