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

It's gross, and wasn't 16 legal then? Idk maybe in their minds.

@HannahSky Yes, it was legal most places back then, I think. (Still is "legal" in the UK, I think.) Or younger. Want gross? Jerry Lee Lewis LEGALLY married his 13-year old cousin back in the 1950s!
