I loved the "dirty" songs of the Knack as a teenager.
SC-There are a few crazy people on this planet. Sure sign of that is that they kinda like my music

Definitely a bummer.

Ge the Knack was probably the first album I ever bought with my own money. In addition to My Sharona, I also wore out Your Name or Your Number. It was a great year for music. I remember buying Michael Jackson's Off the Wall that same summer.

Other 8 tracks in my collection back then:

Donnie Osmond
Super Tramp

Whoda' thought something soooo cool could come from two G's an octave apart?

Didn't the original drummer pass away years ago?
