Inspiration and legacy

"My Sharona"'s easily recognizable riff was written by the band's guitarist, Berton Averre, long before he ever joined The Knack. According to lead singer/guitarist Doug Fieger, he met a girl named Sharona (who was 17 at the time), and fell in love with her. Whenever he thought about her, he would think of Averre's riff. The two worked out the structure and melody from there. The girl who inspired the song is Sharona Alperin, now a real estate agent in Los Angeles, California.

Cover versions or quotations

• One year after this song came out, The Chipmunks covered this song as the final track on their 1980 comeback album, Chipmunk Punk
• Performed in Cantonese as 愛到你發狂 by Hong Kong Cantopop group Krusty on their debut album, Hello Krusty
• Covered live by Nirvana
• Quoted during "Flower Punk" in the 1984 remix of Frank Zappa's We're Only In It For The Money, in which the drum and bass tracks from the original album were replaced with overdubs recorded 16 years after the original album was released. This version is notable, as the original track was recorded 11 years before "My Sharona" was released. Arthur Barrow, who performed the bass overdub, was a friend of Bruce Gary's, and had urged Frank to do a Sharona parody. Little did he know it would end up in "Flower Punk". The notion that Barrow was not aware that "Sharona" was written after "Flower Punk" was a mistake by Barry Miles in his Zappa book. "My Sharona" was also quoted several times in live versions of songs performed during Zappa's 1980 and 1984 tours. It can also be heard during various parts of Zappa's Broadway The Hard Way album, including the song "Rhymin' Man"
