The Beatles were already in their twenties when they released "When I Saw Her Standing There."  I guess 17 isn't that creepy, but the law is the law.

Little Sister -- Elvis Presley
I don't know ifg he wrote it.

Incriminating lyric:
Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned-up nose
But you been a growin
And baby, it's been showin
From your head down to your toes

I saw Gary Puckett and the Union Gap open for the Monkees in 1986. That song takes on a whole new level of creepy when it's a 50 year old dude singing it.

Well, this is the problem ... "Dancing Queen" refers to her being 17 too - feeling the beat of the tambourine, oh yeah. I think there's a definite line, and you can tell when it's being crossed. I don't think the Beatles or ABBA are crossing it.

Elvis didn't write it (or anything else). It's a Pomus/Shuman song.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

ABBA also has "Does Your Mother Know," which seems like a definite "thanks, but no thanks for your interest."

Is it sleazy enough to be included here? regardless of authorship.

This reminded me of a song from the movie Hard Rock Zombies.

Original Sins - "Just 14"

... about 14 year olds!

yuck!

Although I will say that "Just 14" is one of the rockingest songs ever recorded.

Led Zep's "Sick Again": also super-rockin' ... and also highly problematic.

Man, those guys sure touch each other a lot in that video. There's, like, 2 shots of an actual chic. The rest is them bumpin' up against each other.




And, yeah, "Stray Cat Blues"? Doesn't he say "I presume that you're 15 years old"? That to me has always implied that she's younger. Great song though.
