Cut short after only a couple of shows with people throwing garbage at the band with some minor injuries sustained. This hit #1 in Canada in 1979 and stayed on top for three weeks (replaced by The Cars' "Let's Go"); The Knack quickly scored another #1 hit here in the same year: "Good Girls Don't", which also held the pole position for three weeks.
Underage is the key as he says in the song "such a dirty mind I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind."The Knack were really destroyed by the success of this song.
In the summer of 1979, in the middle of a sea of disco, this song really stood out.
Unfortunately, many of the punks and rock bands that had been struggling resented the Knack for it.
There were complaints about the album artwork resembling "Meet the Beatles," and even "Nuke the Knack" t-shirts. Their first album also contained the song "Good Girls Don't (But I Do) which was even naughtier than My Sharona.
