She was just seventeen,
and you know what I mean
For the phone call, right?
The original recording will be allowed as Paul was probably about 19 or 20 when he wrote it.
However all recordings made after he turned 25 are banned and of course he is forbidden from performing it live in concert now - at his advance age of 75.

Jefferson Airplane - Come up the Years (live)
From their first album, with Signe Anderson singing. Marty Balin reportedly wrote this about a 13 year old girl. A great song!
A younger girl keeps hanging around
One of the loveliest I’ve ever found
Blowin’ my mind, stealin’ my heart
Somebody help me ‘fore I fall apart
I ought to get going
I shouldn’t stay here and love you
More than I do
‘Cause you’re so much younger than I am
Come up the years, come up the years
And love me, love me, love me
Elvis’ “Little Sisters”
To Sylvia’s mother.
I posted one here last night. There are a lot of songs that will get banned if we allow the intolerant and hateful Left to have their way.
The Younger Girl . . .
Keeps a-rollin cross my mind
No matter how much I try . .
I can’t seem to leave her mem’ry behind
He couldn’t stop fantasizing about her so he told her “Get out of my mind.”
How about “The Rapper” by The Jaggerz. Released as a single, it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1970 selling over a million copies.

It’s an old sailor song. It was recorded in a garage. They couldn’t afford a mic stand so they hung the mic from the ceiling. The singer said he’d have to stretch and even stand on his toes and that’s why no one could understand the song except the band because they knew the lyrics. I saw the singer explain this in an interview. The record label allowed people to think whatever they wanted to think. The teens thought they were getting away with something when they bought the record. You can look up the actual lyrics.
Nirvana:
Rape me, rape me my friend
Rape me, rape me again
I’m not the only one
I’m not the only one
I’m not the only one
I’m not the only one
The ultimate irony of Louie, Louie is that for all the kerfuffle over the lyrics, at fifty-six seconds in, Easton drops his drumstick. F**k! he yells. You can hear it if you listen closely.
“Sweet Young Thing” by the Monkees:
“I know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain
I’m either feeling very good
Or else I am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
And I feel that I must yield before
The wisdom of a child.”
A Who's Who of Hollywood celeb anti-Trumpers.
IIRC “Martha” was written about the Mayor of Sausilito’s 14 year old daughter who was hanging around the Airplane’s mansion on Fulton Street.
Let’s not forget it also goes the other way:
Bobby Goldsboro - Summer (First Time)
Older woman “preying” on a teen male. And, the Movie and Theme song to “Summer of ‘42” also has to go.

Hey, little girl in the high school sweater
Gee, but I’d like to know you better
A-just a-swingin’ yo books and chewin’ gum
A-lookin’ just like a juicey plum
Hey, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey
Little girl
Hey, little girl in the black silk stockins
Gee, but you’ve got my heart a-rockin’
A-wearin’ that crazy skin-tight skirt
And that crazy ivy league shirt!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, little girl
Hey little girl, can I come along
Carry your books and a-hold your arm?
I’m hopin’ that you tell me, yes
Because you’re the girl that I love best
A-hey-hey
Hey, little girl in the high school sweater
Gee, I hope you’re feelin’ better
Not just like the time before
‘Member when you closed that door?
Hey, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey
Little girl
Goin’ t’your house
