We still play Good Girls Don't with our band, fun song.

And My Sharona? Talk about a timeless piece of pop.

Very sad day, RIP Doug.

Wow this is really a bad period as so many players are passing. Kiss fan I agree and can remember the day I bought the 45 of Good Girls Dont. Then I bought the album and cracked up to the real lyrics which included As she's sitting on your face instead of the 45s till she puts you in your place. My Sharona also has a great end lead on the album that is quite surprising. What a bummer/ R.I.P Doug
