I consider my musical interests very eclectic and a good song doesn’t even need lyrics.
Do you find meaning in the lyrics? For example consider “My Sharona”.
M-m-m-my Sharona
This inspirational song was written by Doug Fieger and Berton Averre. Doug Fieger died at the early age of 57 from cancer. The girl who Doug created this certified gold song for, Sharona Alperin now sells real estate to celebrities. (her site) Sharona says the song’s success gave her an “ability to understand the entertainer's mind”. Doug and her remained friends through his life.
Sharona even graced the picture sleeve for the single. (for you kids out there, singles were released on 45s that came in a record sleeve)
Fieger has been quoted saying, "She had an overpowering scent, and it drove me crazy."
Is it just a matter of time, Sharona?
Is it d-d-destiny, d-destiny
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
The song brings back memories of when a girl could make a guy stutter and be speechless. Sorta like take your breath away, but that’s a subject for another post.
Even if you don’t care for lyrics the song has a great beat and some good guitar riffs.
It even sounds OK on the accordion -- (warning the following could make you hungry)
