LOST THE KNACK: Doug Fieger, leader of the power pop band The Knack, died Sunday after battling cancer. He was 57.  Obviously, "My Sharona" and the clean version of "Good Girls Don't" are your Twofer Tuesday.  But I'll throw in "Frustrated" and "Let Me Out" as bonus tracks.  Oddly, video for "Your Number or Your Name" is not found at any of the usual places.
