Why they might be annoying:

    They are a one-hit wonder with the hit, 'My Sharona.'
    They've tried four comebacks by recording albums and performing live, but failed at getting success.
    Prescott was originally a performance supervisor for the TV show, 'Fame LA.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of their song, 'My Sharona' calling it, 'My Bologna,' which basically helped jump start Weird Al's music career.
    'Get The Knack' was one of the biggest commercial debuts in rock history and it was made in eleven days.
    After Doug saw a movie when he was four years old, he made getting on-stage his goal.
    'My Sharona' re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 after it appeared on the soundtrack for the movie, 'Reality Bites.'
    Usually, Prescott is involved in a lot of charity events.
    They performed with such acts as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and The Doors.
    At one point, thirteen record labels offered to sign them (they picked Capitol Records).
