A woman's name?

Oh, thanks

As I understand it, it's about a guy that walks into a convenience store and lusts for the girl behind the counter.

A guy walks into a store and instantly falls in love with the girl behind the counter -- what's so disturbing about that?

Well, for one thing, the real-life girl at the center of the Knack's smash hit 'My Sharona' was only 17, a fact referenced in rather Prince-ly detail in the lyrics: "Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind / I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind." Didn't realize those were the words you and your friends were dancing along to, huh?

I never danced to it but heard it often on the radio. It was quite the hit in its day. I find myself nostalgic for the music of my past years. There were songs I didn't care about at the time that now serve as a connect to days of my youth.

It's a brand of Bologna. Just ask Weird Al. Sharona I-forget-her-last-name was a groupie for the band I think.

It's about the singer's passion for his niece.
