Added 14/8 GMT+12 at 12:31pm information on Weird Al Yankovic's parody of My Bologna - JasonXV

"They continue to tour and thrill fans with their high energy rock and roll performance.". If that's not POV writing nothing is. This article needs a little cleanup! Underwater 00:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is truly a third-rate article. Ugh. Maybe I'll try to clean it up over the next little while...but it's gonna take a lot of work! 172.131.15.12 (talk) 03:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Gary's recent work with the Knack

The article says both: "Bruce Gary went on to become a respected producer ... and he did not join the more recent Knack reunions." and later in the article "all four original band members, including Bruce Gary, reunited in the studio on one occasion in recent years to record a track for a multi-artist compilation album saluting the British band Badfinger." Something needs to be cleaned up there. — Mmathu 07:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's with putting the moniker "one hit wonder" on the Knack? They had several hit songs, if a person would bother to check it out! Therefore I am removing that from this page because they are NOT one hit wonders!

As some asshole reverted the word "Age" for "life" there is apparently no appreciation of artistic flair.

The Knack ...and How to Get It

Never seen any mention of this film in connection with the music group, but it must be the origin of the band name as well as the name of the first album. In the film, the "knack" is the ability to get girls. This is certainly subject matter of many of the Knack's songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.229.4.2 (talk) 18:53, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement of the Eleventh Citation

For the text, “In 2006, during a performance in Las Vegas, Fieger became disoriented, developing a dull headache, and grasping for the words to the songs that he had written and performed for years,” the cited source for the information is broken. I looked up the cited source on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, and did find results. Should we remove or edit the citation as it is broken in its current state?
