Besides, how old are the guys singing these songs?
Well, Ringo Starr ( that longhaired hippy lookin perverted bastard), sang "your 16"....when he was in his 40's or 50's.
Niel sedaka sang "Happy Birthday Sweet 16" when he was in his 20's, Dr.Hook sang "she was only 16" when he was an old bastard, and "16 candles" .......the whole band was in their late 20's or early 30's.
Dang cradle robbers!

but can ride a bike and do pretty much everything else.Oh really? Well, they certainly are capable of doing everything else at 16, but if the guy is over 18....another story.
This isn't totally accurate. In some states, once the female has reached the age of consent (16 in most states) the guy can be any age to be with her. Of course there are several exceptions. For example, in Delaware the age of sexual consent is 16 for adults who are under 30 years of age.
Also, in some states, the age for homosexual sex is as low as 13, even when heterosexual sex in the same state is higher. This confuses me..
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell...isn't that special *said in churchlady style*

Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
When you were only six I was your big brother
Then when you were ten We didn't like each other
When you were thirteen You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine, so
If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Really? Times they are a'changin.
Steve and I figure we will get big locks for Zoe's doors and windows and buy some guns whenshe approaches 16.
Even so, don't you think people would be turned off these days by anyone over say 25 singing about a sixteen year old girl?
BTW, I was almost 17 when I met Steve...he was 26, but I don't recall him singing about me back then.

Nah, I read about them in a magazine !!
When I was 16, my hubby was 25..
How funny! I was just thinking of this the other day while listening to that Winger song...I used to love that song as a kid, now it just seems really creepy when I think about it. ha
And how about the Beatles' When I Saw Her Standing There? Well she was just seventeen...you know what I mean...and the way she looked was way beyond compare...yadayadayada....
