"Sharona" is currently a high end real estate agent in LA who shamelessly promotes herself as the girl from the song. Tacky.

I liked Weird Al's "My Bologna."
We had a rather obscene version of this song as well that we used to sing along in the newsroom.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What could be better than two levels of imitation? Certainly not a pithy saying on a headstone.
