    For everyone who's curious
    Doug Fieger, 25 at the time (the singer) fell in love with a girl from a clothing store named Sharona Alperin, 17 at the time, but they were both in relationships at the time. He broke up with his girlfriend and went after Sharona. They were messing around, although she was still in a relationship. They started dating a while after he wrote a few songs for her; including My Sharona, That's What the Little Girls Do and (She's So) Selfish. They were together for 5 years, but broke up when alcoholism took over Doug. They remained friends. Sharona was with Doug during his last week, when he died of cancer.
    Also, Doug stated he wrote My Sharona from a 14-year-old boy's perspective.

    *Lyrics of My Corona:*
    Ooh, my little Wuhan one, viral one
    Coming to congest my lungs, ay Corona
    Zoo-o-notic transmission …where’s it from?
    Bats or civet cats who knows why, Corona?
    When’s it gonna stop, fever cough, wash your dirty hands
    Why’d I ever stop in Hubei for vacation, man? Why Why Why Why AHHH CHOOO
    M-m-m-my Corona
    Don’t you come no closer, huh, no closer bruh
    Unless you got an N95, Corona
    Got a travel history, I’m quarantined
    Should’ve just quit touching my eyes, Corona
    Never getting off, stuck onboard such a dirty boat
    But why you hoarding masks when you live in Alaska tho?
    Why ey ey ey ey NO
    M m m my Corona
    M m m my Corona
    When’s it gonna get to me, get to me
    You killed the doc that called you out, why Corona?
    Internet conspiracy, COVID-19
    Is it just a pack of communist lies, Corona?
    Never gonna stop, media, such a dirty game
    Cuz no one gets the shot for the flu
    but it’s just as lame
    Why Why Why Why A Choo *coughing*
