    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.

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?!

    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.

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.

      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.
