        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They’ve got a knack for comedy.</p><p>New Wave darlings the Knack released a coronavirus-themed “My Sharona” video Thursday with a hilarious video filmed at home during lockdown.</p><p>Sadly, it’s not a full-on “Weird Al” Yankovic-style parody — <strong>and don’t hold your breath for him to make one, either</strong>.</p><p>Instead, guitarist Berton Averre shows folks how to play the song’s guitar solo — with the help of his dogs Freddy and Winnie — and how to disinfect the neck of your guitar to the tune of the song. Bassist Prescott Niles jumps in at the end for a “Bye, corona” bit, and the whole thing is accompanied by an informative text crawl at the bottom with facts about COVID-19.</p><p>The parody from Averre and Niles is particularly special since the Knack’s rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist, Doug Fieger, who died from cancer in 2010, was a co-writer on the original 1979 hit.</p>]]></content:encoded>
