These People Are the Inspirations Behind Some of the Most Beautiful Songs Ever Written

“My Sharona” by The Knack (1979)

Doug Fieger claims to have fallen in love with Sharona Alperion the moment he first saw her. During that time, she was only 17 while he was already 25. However, Fieger’s love for Alperion was his inspiration for penning numerous tunes about her. Actually, he likened the experience of falling for her to a bat used in baseball hitting his head. Wow, it sure sounds like there was a large amount of love involved. “My Sharona,” one of the many songs he composed about her, became a massive (massive!) single. To think it was written in a mere 15-minute session! Wild.
