The whole band is oddly endearing. They come off as the genuine article, setting the musical and clothing trend, rather than following it, and their almost spastic movement seems genuine rather than a put-on.
Funny story: In the early-mid 90's, my mom was taking an evening piano class at Santa Monica College. She engaged in conversation with another middle-aged woman and they began talking about their sons. Mt mom said " my son (me) plays drums with his college alumni band." The other woman said, "my son plays guitar for the Knack".
David Safier, That's a funny story! It must have been Ms. Averre? Berton Averre's mother? Berton and his family grew up in Van Nuys. I met Berton's mother once at one of the Knack's House of Blues Shows, shortly after Capitol Records reissued all their albums on CD. She was a very sweet women. Always at Knack gigs and certainly friendly with their fans.
Okay and I have a funny story to tell you well it's not funny but when my mother passed away I said I need a sign and I decided to do something really hard to really test this thing. So I said how about me hearing the song My Sharona which I haven't heard in probably 10 years. Okay would you believe I went out to the cemetery on mother's Day and I did the flowers and the crying and everything and would you believe when I got in the car and started it, yep you guessed it that song by Sharona what's playing on the radio. If that isn't a godsend and I don't know what is
Wait, some of these guys are dead? What jerks! Who authorized that? I sure hope it was vice related rather than just ordinary geezerdom. I know Sherona is still alive and still living i town,, at least she was a few years ago. I hate death. Death is stupid, and a total rip-off. I mean, what's the point of being born, trying, struggling, achieving, washing the clothes, the car, or the dishes in the end you're just going to die whether your stuff is clean or not! And the paperwork for all the bills! That alone should be worth immortality. & forget about IRS tax filings. Life should grand all participants not just everlasting life, but a new car annually, a really good house, the adulation of throngs of worshipers, a yacht, many super-hot love interests willing and able, a really good stereo, and a butler, but also free food for LIFE. Living is stupid. Dying is even dumber. The whole Kabuki show is just a cruel trick the universe plays on everyone. I'm not talking about relative fairness, I'm talking about just recompense for all the bullshit everyone has to put up with just to have clean underwear and enough money to buy a Big Mac. Somebody or something owes me big time.
Early summer 1979 before my Senior High School year, bunch of us did a Senior Car Wash fund raiser where my friend’s trunk was popped open and the stereo jamming…Heard My Sharona at least 5 times that afternoon and by the time we were done that song was a hit with all of us!!! Get The Knack became our soundtrack for that school year…oh to do it all again!!
I was a record buyer for Australian's top record store, Brashes, in Melbourne in 1979. I heard my Sharona on radio on a Sunday night then bought every copy the record company had the next day. The girl at the record company thought I was crazy but I cornered the market, I KNEW it would be number one. I was supposed to do and in-store with the band one morning when they arrived to tour but the crowd was so big outside the store they couldn't get in.
Makes perfect sense. I thought it was brilliant the 1st time I heard it(just after release), & over the years, that 's proven to be a reliable indicator of really big hits. Have been playing it ever since. unfortunately, still haven't found a high quality videoclip.
READ BELOW FIRST - I saw them that night in a suburban pub and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I was playing a cover band at the time too, which I called the Katch (get it) and used to do My Sharona twice a night. What a song.
I grew up in a very small Midwest town and really had no idea who this band was. There wasn't MTv in my town then. We had a magazine selling scheme for my Catholic primary school. For rewards, I always selected music albums but I never knew anything about the artists. I picked Get the Knack because the album cover reminded me of my mom's Meet the Beatles cover. I also selected the English Beat. To this dsy, some of my favorite songs from those albums.
What do you mean "There wasn't MTV in your town then." MTV didn't exist then. I lived in L.A. and just assumed all big towns had massive music scenes and world famous bands and venues everywhere. Apparently L.A. was special that way. I didn't know it at the time. It just seemed so natural. I mean, Fender, Rickenbacker, Ernie Ball, Jackson Guitars, Kramer Guitars, Floyd Rose, Kahler, and many other musical instrument manufacturers make L.A. (well, Orange County mostly) their home, shouldn't the bands also be here? Don't bands and musical instruments go together naturally? You need a guitar to be a rock star. Doesn't every town have a Randy Rhoades, Van Halen, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Righteous Brothers, Michael Jackson, Frank Zappa, Beach Boys, Night Ranger, Oingo Boingo, Guns N Roses, NWA, Ice Tea, Julie Andrews, Monkees, Offspring, Black Flag, STP, X, Stray Cats, Adolescents, Bad Brains, Partridge Family, Motley Crue, Ratt, Eagles, Joe Walsh, The Bangles, The Knack, and hundreds more world-famous musicians lurking behind every corner and drunk in every bar like we do in L.A.? What's those other cities' problem?
My dad was in a band with Jon from Journey back in the 70s and about a year or two before the Knack got together, Doug tried out to play bass in Jon and Dad's band, but he didn't quite fit. It was a blessing in disguise for Doug! :)
In 1979? What was your normal set? I didn't know high schools allowed such frivolity and wasting of time when the high school administration could just torture and abuse their students like they did at my high school. Your school must have been a magnet school or something.
That's a good point, but by '79 (their big/only year) it was already on it's way out, and New Wave on its way in. My Sharona had some really good guitar work toward the end, but was a very overplayed, annoying song otherwise.
Wanted to add I was 21/22 then, 59/60 this year. If it comes on the radio today------I switch the station. There are two that ARE worse from '76: 'Blinded by the Light' and 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love'!!
Your comment has nothing to do with what I said, whereas mine did in regard to yours. I listen to almost nothing but rock, and you, who don't know me at all, are calling me old based on the fact there are some songs here and there I don't care for. That's like saying I don't like food because I don't like cheeseburgers, or I don't like TV because I dislike 'The Bachelor/Bachelorette.' Your comment above all shows your poor reading comprehension. On a more positive note, you could very well be dead well before you're 59 so you won't have to find out! Now you'll just rag on me in a hateful tirade.
@@irishmoon1283 The same number as you, bozo. One must produce the very thing one is critical of just to have the honor of criticizing it? Jesus, don't tell and critics that lmao. Fuck off.
@@cygnusfloyd what a delightful and well mannered person you are. The knack had many great songs... they weren’t really a one-hit-wonder as they were still popular once my sharona died down
"Everybody's got a story about My Sharona"? How about this: The first time I heard My Sharona I was with a group of college students hanging out at Jones Beach....including, by an amazing coincident, a girl named Sharona. We had the radio on WNEW-FM, and this song came on. I'll never forget the look on Sharona's face! We all immediately got up and started dancing and jumping around like crazy. Don't know whatever happened to Sharona P, but that was an unforgettable moment.
I had a girl i elementary school they told me to stop singing this song cuz shehated it loved it one of my first and best memories of elementary school
My Sharona was big in Australia in 1979, It was my favorite song on the charts at the time. I was an excited 13 year old and bought the single as soon as it was released then later the album Get the Knack
The first time I heard this song was in 1979 on a local FM top 40 station called Y-103 Sharon/Youngstown. I don't remember the month. I went into my sisters room to talk to them about something, and the late 70's discoish crap was spewing from the stereo. As I remember, there was a station ID followed by about 10 seconds of silence. Then came the opening beats. We stopped talking, and were mesmerized by the sound. When the song finished we looked at each other & wondered what the Hell just happened. It was the full album version - not the single. Kinda left me breathless.
Kirk LeRoy , my Mom bought me a really nice record stereo, with 8-track, and an FM tuner (with that really cool LED red light) that told you you were actually listening to a stereo station). Anyway, I was also given “Get the Knack” and when I put the album on, from the opening track, “Let Me Out”, I was hooked. Every song was gold, even Buddy Holly’s cover, “Heartbeat”. So many fans singing their praises today but those same fans and ugly music critics back then that dumped on their sophomore album. I don’t care what they put out, I loved it!
MCA Whitney Studio was in Glendale - but NOT on Glendale Ave. It was on Glenoaks Blvd. I passed by it all the time on the way to work. Pat Benatar recorded there as well.
GREAT VIDEO DOCUMENTARY. I knew the hot chick on the cover was the real Sherona. I also know Sherona now sells real estate in Beverly Hills. The Knack are the ultimate, classic L.A. Powerpop band that defined "New Wave" not just in L.A. where The Knack, Sherona, and I were in 1979, but around the world. It's nice to see these guys appear to be wealthy, healthy, and well adjusted, in nice clothes in nice houses. GOOD FOR THEM!!! I don't really miss the whole skinny tie thing though, but I understand it's historical and cultural significance. It's also nice to see the boys playing mostly locally made instruments (Fender, Corona, Rickenbacker, Santa Ana), but British amplifiers? Ick! Why? It's not like Vox or Marshall are providing a unique tone that Fender or Peavey (Mississippi) couldn't provide, especially Fender. Heck, they could drive over to Orange County and just pick the gear up! The My Sherona song remains one of my favorites 45 years later and I still rock it out of my modest stereo in my modest home wearing my modest clothes festooned with my modest tie at regular intervals. Not daily. Not even weekly, but several times a month consistently.
Doug was a tremendous talent. Obtain the two Sky albums from the early 70's for proof. Personally, I thought the 2nd album was pretty darn good. It wasn't a change in direction which is probably what the record company wanted anyway. It was instead, a continuation of the sound and feel of the first record. One way to appreciate the 2nd record more is to look at the first and second records as a two record set or double album. From that perspective it could be considered a fantastic double album.
Please, please, please re-upload Part 2. It's not available in *any* country. It looks like it was blocked by a copyright claim, because depending on what country you access it from it says different things on the screen. My guess is that TH-cam would not block it now if you re-upload it unless the surviving band members and family have an issue with it. Bruce was a genius and unbelievable drummer. This should be seen in it's original format to a testament to his work and the rest of the band as well.
Beside Graceland and the epic "Boxer" I think this is Paul Simon´s most dynamic record- forgive me as ..." ..I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest"
1:30... He states that the song is about a teenage guy wanting to screw a teenage girl, but if the guy is a teenager and he's talking about the "younger kind", well younger than a teenager is TOO YOUNG!!!!
Well, finding my Sharona (her name too); she's 23. From India as a nutrition person where i live in Minnesota. My Sharona; she's looking so beautiful! Thanx 4 uploading the knack vids.
Doug calls it a 'cultural icon'. Whether it is or not may be entirely subjective. I don't entirely disagree with him. It seems like the fans should be the ones to establish this and not him. We were really happy when it came out at the time in a sea of disco. But it is interesting that Doug would say this about his own song while John Lennon and Paul McCartney had never made such a claims about any of their actual cultural icons.
I really dig The Knack's drummer, super energetic and in the pocket
The whole band is oddly endearing. They come off as the genuine article, setting the musical and clothing trend, rather than following it, and their almost spastic movement seems genuine rather than a put-on.
Bruce Gary was an absolute beast on drums.
RIP❤🥁
@Vince Wylde - Amen brother. His playing and the recorded drum sound on Get the Knack are still incredible.
Yes. I saw them in79 and they were energy personified.
These guys were amazing, "Get the Knack" has to be one of the best albums ever. My kids love their music, that says it all!
Funny story: In the early-mid 90's, my mom was taking an evening piano class at Santa Monica College.
