The Knack was an American rock band based in Los Angeles that rose to fame with their first single, “My Sharona”, an international number-one hit in 1979.

Round Trip is an album by power pop/new wave band The Knack that was released by Capitol Records in 1981. It received generally unfavorable critical reviews, but it reached #93 in the Billboard 200 and also contained single “Pay The Devil (Ooo, Baby, Ooo)” (hitting #67 on the Billboard Hot 100). “Boys Go Crazy” was issued as the single from the album in Australia. It was also issued as a follow up single to “Pay the Devil” in the U.S. and was expected to be “chart bound” on the Hot 100, but it did not chart. The band broke up a few weeks after its release, with their label dropping them due to failed expectations. They remained disbanded until a 1991 reunion.
