Song lyrics
Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M my Sharona

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.
Keeping it a mystery gets to me
Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo.
M M M My Sharona, M M M My Sharona

When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
Is it just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind.
My my my i yi woo, m m m m m m m my my my i yi woo.
M M M My Sharona, M M M My Sharona, M M M My Sharona, M M M My Sharona.

Ooooooooooo-oh, my Sharona
Ooooooooooo-oh, my Sharona
Ooooooooooo-oh, my Sharona

Actually... the girl was 16 years old... the man... almost 30.
Yeah. Kinda disgusting.

This song is repetitive... and mediocre at best. I hate everything about it...

Gah.

Gabbi 1989 is right i saw that interview and the beat of the song was supposed to simulate sex and i gotta tell you it is a good song to do it to
[offtopic] i really wish people would stop over reacting about these things , yes paedophilia IS A REALLY TERRIBLE thing but guys its just a song, about a guy who was lusting after his girlfriend best friend!!!! ( and it was the 70's)

Great song, about the meaning...they had an interview with the guy who sang it cos it was on '50 greatest one hit wonders'.

His girlfriend introduced him to her friend, he fell in lust with her, wrote this song about her cos he thought she was so hot (the song is meant to be what sex would sound like) and then he broke up with his girlfriend and Sharona and him dated for 4 years. Clearly not a paedo, just someone with really loose morals.

And surely teenage kicks isn't paedo-ish either- it's about a teen guy who sees a teen girl and the lust that teenagers have being so different to the adult version.

Really? Never really thought about it that way...based on the rhythm and the beat of the song, I thought it was all about infatuation only! Hmmm...I'll look up the lyrics just to make sure. Well thanks for the info though! But it still is a pretty good song...sad about it being of paedophilic contents though!

In defense of The Undertones the legal age in the UK is 16 so getting 'Teenage Kicks' can be fine and legal.

As for My Sharona could just be that he likes younger (but still legal) girls. But I don't know.

Either way both tracks are top quality, though Teenage Kicks just has the edge for me.

its the same as the song 'teenage kicks'. the song gets all the acclaim ever and has recently been covered by busted (cos of the 'teenage' bit in the name of the song), with the undertones currently lined up for glastonbury next year cos 'teenage kicks' was john peels favourite song.

but its about some bloke perving over a young girl he sees around the place. the incentive is nasty, but it seems somewhat overlooked.

regardless, my sharona is a bloody good song

has anybody actually really looked at the lyrics to this song? it suprises me that no-one has picked up on the hidden meaning..... like, paedophilia!!!!!!! wat the hell is"always get it up for the touch of the younger kind" supposed to mean other than that the singer likes doing kids!!!! it amazes me that a song that gets played on the radio almost everyday has not received any attention as being porno, while that new nicole kidman movie is being labeled as being "controversial", when its not even got anything to do with paedophilia or child pornography!!!! other than that, its a catchy song,but ask sumone next time to try and sing the verses to this song... chances are, they never would've thought such a popular song could be so yuck!!!
