But I guess they still have it all today - thinking with my d!ck comes to mind.
Op here.
These aren’t what I mean. WAP was a huge hit after all.
Money for Nothing to uses an epithet for gay people in the second verse. Walk on the wild side refers to “colored girls.” Not as offensive, just archaic.

The fixation with 16 and 17 year olds in early rock n roll is a little creepy. That one, Sweet Little Sixteen, the first lyric to I Saw Her Standing There (“well she was just 17 if you know what I mean”).
I don’t disagree with you. For context though, Lennon and McCartney wrote I saw Her Standing There when they were about 14. But yea, without that background it does sound creepy.
It was in 1962, so John was 22 and Paul was 21. But yeah — considering that I’m sure 17 was considered the age of consent, it wasn’t *that* creepy at the time. They also probably just wanted something that rhymed. But maybe Paul should change the age at this point when he sings it …
The song came out in 62, when they were that age. But it was a song they had written together years earlier. It should have been changed then but it wasn’t. Just saying, 2 14 year olds writing about a 17 year old is totally normal. Singing it after the age of 17 is where it gets weird.
No, they wrote it in late 1962 at Rory Storm’s house. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Saw_Her_Standing_There
It actually didn’t come out until 1963 when they released their first album.
I have an unhealthily encyclopedic knowledge of all things Beatles, lol.
