The Knack’s new wave hit “My Sharona” hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 25, 1979.The song would remain at number one for six weeks and would also top the Billboard year-end pop singles chart for 1979. The iconic song would be remembered in part for its racy lyrics, such as "always get it up for the touch of the younger kind" and "keeping it a mystery gets to me/running down the length of my thighs, Sharona." The Knack never matched the song's success (their next highest-charting single, “Good Girls Don’t,” failed to crack the top 10.) “My Sharona” would re-enter the Hot 100 in 1994 on the soundtrack to the film “Reality Bites” and would also be used as the theme for the “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Janet Reno’s Dance Party.” The Knack would break up in 1981, but would reform in 1986 to continue recording and touring until frontman Doug Feiger’s death from cancer in February 2010.
