Underrated. Loved the song. Hard to get all the timing down when trying to play it.

I was in grad school when it came out. Hated it then. Still hate it now.... Of course, I was a Grateful Dead fan....

I don’t think that song ever recovered from being covered by Cheech and Chong in “Up in Smoke”.

The guitar riff is basically the riff from Gimme Some Lovin in reverse.

Hadn’t really thought of it as a “guitar solo” song but it does have a couple of nice ones. Late ‘50s Les Paul guitars like the one the lead guitarist is playing are worth about a quarter million bucks now. I wonder what his was worth in 1979. It would have been collectible by then but ‘79 was still before the prices went totally bananas.

That was rather a nightmare.

Some things are best forgotten as if they never happened.

The Knack is one of those things.

Every time I hear the song, the Cheech and Chong version pops into my head!

I don’t know what that cheesy rendition of Small World is, but indeed, the Sherman Brothers were geniuses.

I had an original Gibson Flying V which was stolen from me in 1970. Then, it was just an ugly 12 year old used guitar. I don’t like to think about what it’s worth now. It was the 22nd one built. PAF’s of course. Gold-plated. Natural Korina.

There was also a parody called “Ay-a-tollah”, but most stations refused to play it while the hostages were still held in Iran.
