I’ve recently become obsessed with the song My Sharona by The Knack. When I become this into something, I need to Wikipedia it.

The eponymous Sharona is apparently a real person who was just 17 when Doug Fieger wrote a song about her (which explains the sorta-creepy lyric, “I always get it up for a touch of the younger kind.”)

Sharona is a real estate agent now, and her website (MySharona.com) doesn’t shy away from her past. In fact, it’s made her a better real estate agent! Sharona explains,

“My Sharona has had an impact on my ability to understand the entertainers mind, there’s something simpatico. You’ve got to care to the n’th degree. You can’t drop the ball for one minute.” I sell “the most emotional product on the market, because a star’s home is their only safe haven”.
