Yeah, I was reminded of the song's existence by the fact that it was recently the subject of Tom Breihan's "The Number Ones" column on Stereogum, in which he writes about and rates every song that has ever hit Number One on The Billboard Hot 100. "My Sharona" hit Number One for six entire weeks starting on August 25, 1979. Breihan mentions the age difference and the "yuck factor" in his write-up, but nevertheless goes on to rate the song 8 out of 10.
