There were quite a few creepy songs from that era that were probably perfectly fine at the time but are now culturally out-of-step.  Paul Anka's "One Man Woman?"  The Bells' "Stay Awhile"?  Mark Lindsay's "Arizona"?  Glen Campbell's "The Dreams of the Everyday Housewife?"  Bobbi Martin's "For The Love of Him?"

I should make a mix on 8tracks ...

I was not aware of this:

Allmusic music journalist, Jason Ankeny states "Clad in Civil War era Union Army uniforms (complete with fictitious military ranks) and bizarrely pedophilic lyrics, Puckett and the Union Gap were in their own way as far-out and singular as any other act of the period."

Also, some "Young Girl" trivia thanks to Wikipedia!

Young Girl (Gary Puckett & The Union Gap song)
Danny Tanner sang this song in an episode of Full House.

In the early 1980s, now disgraced former star Gary Glitter expressed an interest in doing a cover version of the song in a radio interview with John Peel however this never came to fruition.
