Does it ever bother you that great singers sang songs about underaged girls?

Neil Sedaka - Happy Birthday Sweet 16
Chuck Berry - Sweet Little 16 (Beach Boys stole it for Surfin' USA)
Beatles - I saw her standing there (she was just 17)
Kiss - Christine 16
The Crests - 16 candles
Gary Punket - Young Girl

Nah.

This isn't what it seems. Ok so maybe the KISS one is a little borderline..

But this happened because at the time, the number one buyer of single records was teen girls. So the singers of the era catered to them and wrote and sang songs that would sell to them.

Noticed you didn't mention this one...
