Link to music video also Here
The song was written by Berton Averre and Doug Fieger, and released as part of their debut album (Get the Knack) in 1979.
The song was based on a real person, named Sharona Alperin. She was 17 when she met Fieger, who was 25 when he met her.
Sharon Alperin has been a very succesful real estate agent for many years.
The guitar solo and the song's rift have been cited by many bands as pure classic rock. In fact, the song was on President G.W. Bush's nano when he was in office and listened to it while working out.

I remember when The Knack was being promoted as the next Beatles, and then they disappeared.

By the way, the late Doug Feiger's brother is celebrity defense attorney Geoffrey Feiger.

Great song! I was 17 when it hit the UK. Memories :-)

Oh man, you had a cool guitar. Funny how it was nothing real special at the time. Based on a quick google it looks like ‘59 Les Paul sunbursts were selling for 2k - 3k in 1979 if you could find one, which was about four times the cost of a new one at the time. Makes me want a time machine.

Great song! I was 17 when it hit the UK. Memories :-) Yes. Very much like someone said about Led Zeppelin:
"Their songs about sex. Their songs about Vikings. Their songs are about Vikings having sex."

If I had the guitar now, I could probably sell it and but a condo in Florida!

I like that song, the opening minor strum chords are the best part.
