This is the fourth leftover from the marathon! We have been trying hard to get the fifth and final song through copyright, but we are not sure if it will ever make it through. Thanks!

100% agree. Solo is PURE FILTH. And doesn’t get anywhere near the recognition it deserves.

@robgrano6814 17 дней назад

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.

@gesundheit602 19 дней назад

If someone wrote a song like this today it’d never make it on the radio and that is a damn shame. Thank God there was some good music made before people started taking themselves too seriously.

@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra 18 дней назад

...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...🙄🙄) No, seriously!!

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 16 дней назад

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.

@timwhitnell7145 17 дней назад

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.

She's your adolescent dream, Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet romance. And she makes you want to scream, Wishing you could get inside her pants. So, you fantasize away.
