He was 26 when he recorded the song, which seems a little creepy, but Jerry Lee Lewis set the bar pretty low for rockabilly acts when he married his year-old cousin, so to Burnette and his fans, 16 might have seemed on the old side. Ringo, on the other hand, gets no slack.

When he recorded the song he was 33, meaning he was singing to an imaginary girl less than half his age. Even if having sex with a year-old wasn't statutory rape in , a year age gap is still pretty gross. It involved people who should have known better.

But that was then. These days, with Beatlemania a thing of the past and modern laws regarding the appropriateness of adult-juvenile relationships, we're free to acknowledge just how truly inappropriate and awful a song it is. I have nothing against Ringo and will always love him for his star turn in the movie "Caveman," but I think "You're Sixteen" should never be played again by anyone, anywhere.
