Doug Fieger, lead singer of rock group the Knack, dies at 57


From ew, Doug Fieger, lead singer of rock group the Knack, died at 57 after a battle with cancer, his brother Geoffrey confirmed today. “I’ve had 10 great lives,” Fieger told the Detroit News in a January interview. “And I expect to have some more. I don’t feel cheated in any way, shape or form.” Get the Knack, the album that featured “My Sharona,” spent six weeks at No. 1 in 1979. The hit single was perhaps best immortalized (or at least revitalized) via a hilarious impromptu gas station dance party in 1994’s Reality Bites. “Can you turn this up please? Please? You won’t be sorry.”

"My Sharona" always had and always will have far, far more awesomeness than stupid Reality Bites.

My Sharona might be the most parodied song ever. Too many on YouTube to post but here's the first.

I hate the phrase, "any way, shape, or form."

Cheech did it before Weird Al Catfreeek! I think it was in Nice Dreams when he sang "Dunna-nunna nuh nuh, My scrotum!"

Catfreeek said...

Haha! You're right JSP it was "Nice Dreams". Do you remember who did "My Big Boner"?
