"(She's So) Selfish" is a hit song written by Doug Fieger and Berton Averre that was first released by the Knack on their #1 debut album ''Get the Knack'' in 1979. It also appeared on a number of live and compilation albums. It was intended for release as a single, but was prevented by its "scatological" lyrics. It was inspired by the same woman who inspired the band's #1 single "My Sharona." It was praised by critics for its hooks and style, but criticized for its nastiness and sexism. ==Lyrics and music== The music of "(She's So) Selfish" is based on a Bo Diddley-like riff.〔 According to Averre, Fieger wrote most of "(She's So) Selfish" and Averre wrote the "release" section with its "dirty words": :''When she takes you by the short hairs :''It's the only thing she'll leave you down there :''No fuck-a me fuck-a me today :''No fuck-a me fuck-a me today The song was inspired by Fieger's as-yet-unrequited passion for Sharona Alperin, who also inspired other Knack songs such as "My Sharona," and Averre has called it a "teasing, playful look" at her.〔 Alperin concurs that she was the inspiration. According to Ed Stephens, Jr. of ''Saipan Tribune'', the song is about a "manipulative tease." Taking a line from the song, Ira Robbins and Michael Sandlin of ''Trouser Press'' describe the girl in the song as "rich bitch." Critic Robert Hilburn of ''The Los Angeles Times'' describes that the Knack uses crude, locker room language to portray a teenager's view of frustration. Robert Wilonsky of the ''Dallas Observer'' described it as a "teen-beat () about doin' it to your girlfriend while Mom and Dad were out of the house" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「(She's So) Selfish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
