The Knack – Singer Doug Fieger, dead at 57 (“Reality Bites” clip)

1979's "Get the Knack"

Wow. The lead singer of The Knack, Doug Fieger, has died of cancer at 57. "My Sharona"?? Come ON. I'll bet almost every one of you guys have a memory related to this song. My first memory was hearing it on the radio playing in the Junior's Department at The Broadway, where I worked when I was 18.

In 1994, "My Sharona" was featured in (stupid) Ben Stiller's (great) movie, Reality Bites.  THIS is my favorite scene:

I love Janeane Garafalo and Steve Zahn's dancing the most. I will still do this dance when I hear "My Sharona" in the car. I expect all of you to do the same now.

Rest in peace, Doug.
