My Sharona was on Chipmunk Punk so it must be punk, right?

Won't make a bit of difference.

Peer pressure, disgusting how strong it is.

I'm a fucking good driver, but it's because I rolled a car when I was 16 and luckily walked away from it.

I don't think there's any other way to understand how fast it can all happen.

The sound of metal crunching at sixty miles per hour stays with you.

"My Sharona" was playing on the radio as I saw the earth do flip-flops.

My Sharona is one of the earlier and most faviourite song of MJ. Which brought him to the peaks of fame. In this song vitiligo patches of Jackson are clearly observed. But today he quitly change his appearance. but its style is not changed.

I declared myself “The Rogue Poet” back in 1990 when I got serious about writing.

I'm in my forties. My life has been half cursed and half blessed. My parents divorced when I was very young, and it was a very violent situation. My mother remarried a cowboy and I had to stop her from taking a knife to him one night when he came home drunk, stinking of pussy and perfume. A few years later I had to pull him off of my mom's back when he tried to strangle her. They finally divorced.

When I was thirteen, a little boy died in my arms. Actually, I kept him alive long enough to place him in his mother's arms and watch him take his last breath. I was covered with his blood head to toe, and I can still remember the taste of it in my mouth.

I rolled and totally demolished a Chevy Nova when I was sixteen and walked away without a scratch. “My Sharona” was playing on the radio as I watched the world do flip flops through the passenger's side window. My mom and my girlfriend at the time said they could see a hand mark in the middle of my back which lasted a couple of days.

I was stalked by somebody, or somebodies, back in the ninties and it left me a little scarred, emotionally and psychologically. As a result, there are very few people that I trust enough to get close to now, hence my roguish ways.

I had a near-death experience in 1994 and I could sense a presense in my room. It talked to me. I don't know who or what it was; I forgot to ask its name, but it saluted me and left when my body turned the corner and I started to come back to life. The next day, something happened that explained to me that I had to experience that near fatality for some strange reason concerning my future.

I have known true love. It is magical. I knew it twice, with two wonderful girls that I met in my early twenties, but life got in our way. We parted, and I never fell in love again. But I have hopes.

I have been very fortunate in other respects.

I can be a real pain in the neck sometimes, and I even drive myself crazy, but over all, I think that most people consider me to be a stand up dude.

ah, I was about to post this..you have it, but it needs fixing. http://www.videosift.com/video/My-Sharona-The-Knack

"My Sharona" is a 1979 rock song sung by Doug Fieger, which was the debut single by and international hit for The Knack. Written by Doug Fieger and Berton Averre, it was produced by Mike Chapman and released June 18, 1979. The single went gold in eight weeks and, on August 25 it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Constructed around a guitar riff, "My Sharona" remains a popular song, definitive of early 1980s rock music, and the genre of power pop. It is known for its slamming drums played by Bruce Gary, driving guitar work, and simple, infectious beat. The song has been subject to numerous cover versions, parodies and sampling (see list below).

Its easily recognizable riff that is the core of the song was written by the band's guitarist, Berton Averre, long before he ever joined The Knack. According to lead singer/guitarist Doug Fieger, he met a girl named Sharona (who was 17 at the time), and fell in love with her. Whenever he thought about her, he would think of Averre's riff. The two worked out the structure and melody from there. The girl who inspired the song is Sharona Alperin, now a real estate agent in Los Angeles, California. [1]

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters has stated on more than one occasion that "My Sharona" is his favorite song. His earlier band Nirvana even did a live cover of it. The original song gained some attention in 2005 when it appeared on the playlist of U.S. President George W. Bush's iPod player.[2]

In 2006 Australian TV Show 20 to 1: One Hit Wonders voted The Knack as the greatest "One-Hit Wonder" in history. [Info courtesy: wikipedia.org]
