She was just 17

You know what I mean" being sung by William Shatner sounds really predatory
as does "You're 16, you're beautiful and you're mine. That's just the Beatles but the list goes on and on.
Are all these rock stars predators and child molesters?
And by the way, it's cold outside, bitches.

[Zip City]

Young girl stay out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run girl
You're much too young girl

[beantownbubba]

As you suggest, Swamp, there's always been a lot of this going on in rock & roll. It goes back to at least Jerry Lee Lewis.

My "favorite" example because it balances such a bouncy melody/arrangement which sucks you in and has you bobbing your head against a story of statutory rape is Boz Scagg's "Georgia."

[Zip City]

We could start an entire thread about borderline domestic abuse songs as well. "Run For Your Life" by the Beatles would be a good (bad) start

[Iowan]

I can see that you're fifteen years old
No I don't want your I.D.
And I've seen that you're so far from home
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Bet your mama don't know you scream like that
I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that.

[Sterling Bigmouth]

Well she's sitting right there on the chain link fence
She's down at the park with the rest of her friends
And she looks so pretty but she's only sixteen
Didn't know that when she smiled at me

[Clams]

Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

[Zip City]

You made me a promise and you're gonna stick to it
You shouldn't have promised if you weren't gonna do it
You saw me and ran in another direction
I'll teach you to play with my affection
Now, give it here
You never should've promised to me, give it here
Don't hold back, now give it here
Don't say nothin', just give it here
Come on, give it here

[schlanky]

This thread is incomplete without Gene Simmons.

She drives me crazy, I want to give her all I've got
And she's hot every day and night, there is no doubt about it

I don't usually say things like this to girls your age
But when I saw you coming out of the school that day
That day I knew, I knew
I've got to have you, I've got to have you

She's been around, but she's young and clean
I've got to have her, can't live without her, whoa no

Christine sixteen

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield and I don't know why I came
I guess I came to keep from payin' dues
So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen
And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues

Never gonna stop, give it up
Such a dirty mind, always get it up
For the touch of the younger kind
My my my Sharona

According to Wikipedia this is about a 17yo

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Imagine how my daddy felt
In your jet black suspender belt
Seventeen years old,
He's trudging sixty four
You got legs right up to your neck
You're makin' me a physical wreck
I'm talkin' to you
Hot legs in your satin shoes
Hot legs, are you still in school?

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

Kids if you want some fun
Mr. LaPage is your man
He's always laughing, having fun
Showing his films in the den
Come on, come on
Soon you will be eighteen
I think you know what I mean
Don't tell your mama
Your daddy or mama
They'll never know where you been

Everyone's gone to the movies
Now we're alone at last

Listen to what I say
He wants to show you the way
Right down the hallway with open arms
To teach you a new game to play
Come on, come on
Soon it will be too late
Bobbing for apples can wait
We know you're used to sixteen or more
Sorry we only have eight

And then there's 15-year-old Cherie Currie singing...
Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch cherry bomb

Never gonna stop, give it up

That 17 year old was Doug Fieger's girlfriend. And she appeared on the cover of the 45. I believe she is now a realtor, and sometimes uses the connection to make sales.

[dime in the gutter]

great thread.

[scotto]

And as with most things rock and roll, it's been around awhile...

[Tequila Cowboy]

Great thread, but y'all have buried the lede

You know what I mean" being sung by William Shatner sounds really predatory

Doesn't pretty much anything that comes out of William Shatner's mouth sound really predatory?

He was 25 at the time which is a clear violation of the universal rule of age difference; Her age >= His age/2+7; applicable from 14 and up

Yeah, right, like YOU wouldn't have hit that as a 25 year old guy? I would have been spraying my shorts at the thought it was possible.

Finally, someone who gets what I'm saying. The insperation for this thread came from me listening to his version of Bohemian Rhaptsody.

I doubt it. (I have trouble remembering being 25. It's almost half my life ago)

This was always written about Ms. Sharona. So he may not have had to worry about any legalities.
