Subject: My Sharona
what does everyone think of this song. i think it rocks. it is like so fun to dance and have fun to, and it has the best beat. so what if the lyrics arent exactly deep and meaningful.....MY SHARONA RULES!!!!!!
Subject: Re: My Sharona
Did you know this song was written about a real person? Her name is Sharona Alperin, and last I heard, she was a bigwig at some record company. By the way, I heard Veruca Salt did a remake of this song. What album is it on?

Well, I think I liked this song when it first came out on the radio. Then I would hear it everywhere I went and I soon got very sick of it. (If you're not already aware, "My Sharona" was a #1 hit on the Billboard Charts for 6 weeks!) Even today I have trouble listening it...I think because of the way the singer says "My-ay-ay-ay-ay..." so much in the song.
Subject: Re: My Sharona
i see your point. but i was born in the 80s so the first time i heard the song was on Reality Bites which was a movie with Wynona Ryder. i cant seem to hear the song enough, maybe because a lot of the songs that are on now do not even compare

That is one of a handful of #1 songs that stutter. Can you think of any others? M-m-m-my Sharona...

There was that novelty song "Stutter Rap" by Morris Minor and the Majors...

I've got a good one..."Bennie And The Jets", by Elton John! And and another that comes to mind is The Bee Gees "Jive Talkin'".

How 'bout "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" (is that by BTO?) or "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood...I think the latter may have been 80's.

Very good all... "Bad To The Bone" wasn't a #1 hit, but "B B B Bennie & The Jets," "You Ain't Seen N N N Nothing Yet," and "Sussudio" by Phil Collins were the ones I heard as the answer once on Casey Kasem or some show like that.
Subject: Re: My Sharona
You're forgetting the most recent #1 stuttering hit "Stutter" by Joe (at least it was on Soundscan). Another stuttering hit "K-K-K-Katie" was probably before our time (40's or 50's maybe), but I assume it was #1 on some chart.
Subject: Re: st-st-stuttering songs
No ones mentioned n-n-n-nineteen by Paul Hardcastle. And, of course, it's parody by Rory Bremner (I think). Perhaps these were only hits in the U.K. though?
Subject: Re: My Sharona
hey if we're going to be writing under the subject My Sharona maybe we should actually talk about the song. i started the subject to get people to talk about My Sharona, and well stuttering no. 1 songs are all well and good, can we talk about My Sharona if we are to stay in the subject

Lighten Up! If you want to be that controlling of people's messaging - rather than letting it flow - maybe you should find another board.

Well...about the only thing I really know regarding "My Sharona" is that it was a #1 hit by a band (The Knack) that quickly faded into obscurity!
