Help[Opinions] Re: Sharona
in reply to a message by queenv
I might like it if not for the song!
I think the song is hilarious. I totally remember it. Catchy as hell, and just wonderfully godawful.
I just now went and looked it up, and learned that it was written for a real person, who was at the time 17, and the songwriter was 25.
Yuck. And her photo on the single seems likely to be the other reason why the name never charted. And also, by 1979, I think the name was looking very dated-style. And still does, IMO. But not so much as Sharon does.
I also ran across an interview with Sharona herself, who went on to become a real estate agent ...
And in the article it was said that in Japan, people who heard the song thought "sharona" might be a word for penis. lol!
