** "My Sharona" was written about a real life 17 year old girl, Sharona Alperin, who Doug Fieger was infatuated with when he was 25. Needless to say, talking openly about that sort of relationship in a song would not fly so well today.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: ''...But The Little Girls Understand'' got hit hard with this when compared to ''Get the Knack''; particularly, lead single "Baby Talks Dirty" got panned by critics for sounding too much like "My Sharona", especially after being released only ''six months'' after "Sharona".

'''You'd Expect''': To let the band do interviews, as any other up-and-coming artists would happily do. That way, they can get their name out there better, and come across as amiable to the public and press. It's not as if most interviewers ask hard-hitting questions anyway.\\
