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.

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

The song was written by ... Doug Fieger

He's the brother of that notorious scumb bag, ambulance chasing, poverty pimp lawyer GEOFFREY FIEGER.........
