The Knack - Good Girls Don´t / Frustrated (1979) - single

"Good Girls Don't" is a 1979 hit single written by Doug Fieger and released by the rock band The Knack, off their album “Get the Knack”. It was the follow-up to the group's number-one hit single, "My Sharona". "Good Girls Don't" was a No. 1 single in Canada. The song has since been covered by a number of artists, including The Chipmunks, Ben Folds, The Chubbies and The McRackins.
Fieger originally wrote "Good Girls Don't" in 1972, and claimed that he wrote the song with Johnny Cash's voice in mind. He had included it on three or four demos in various attempts to get a recording contract, including with The Knack. It was also one of the first songs The Knack recorded. They had made a demo which included "Good Girls Don't" and "That's What Little Girls Do" in 1978, despite which the band was turned down multiple times in their efforts to get their first record contract. By the time The Knack was recording “Get the Knack”, he was tired of the song and reluctant to record it, but was convinced by producer Mike Chapman to attempt one take. That one take was used on the album.
