3. My Sharona, By The Knacks
It’s getting late at the karaoke bar, you’ve maybe had a few drinks too many and you’re looking to belt out one more tune and maybe get the cute girl you’ve been talking to, to come home with you. You won’t be the first one to try My Sharona by The Knacks, a fun last ditch effort to get a girl on the fence to like you. Rhythmic, bouncy and sexy, what could go wrong? Well, we all know Sharona is about a girl… what you probably don’t know is that Sharona is underaged. Written for a specific Sharona in mind, she was a teen when lead singer Doug Fieger, was 27. The story gets weirder as Fieger met Sharona when he himself was with his girlfriend, asking her out in front of his then girlfriend. In spite of age difference, Fieger and Sharona ended up dating for years and were even engaged at some point. We guess that makes it okay?
