I was listening to "My Sharona" today, which is one of my favorite songs, when I realized I know nothing about the band that made it. So I looked up the song to learn more and was surprised to find out that the Los Angeles group The Knack was considered New Wave, according to Wikipedia. I also realized I don't think I know any of their other songs, but now I'm curious if I'll like any as much as...

"My Sharona" by The Knack (1979)
This is one cool song.

I also found out there is an interesting documentary about "My Sharona" (Part 1 below)


The Knack - About My Sharona Part 1 of 3 - YouTube

(ten minutes later)...

I found out I *do* know more songs by The Knack, such as this one!

"Good Girls Don't" - The Knack
