No "Rock the Cradle of Love' by Billy Idol? Or, 'Sweet Caroline' or "Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon" which makes Neil Dimond a two-hit pervert? Or Sexy and Seventeen' by the Stray Cats? 'Hey Little Girl' by - oh, a lot of different people. Donnie Osmond sang it which made it double child molestation as some adult really wanted to hear about him and that other little person. 'Young Girl' by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap? 'Go Away Little Girl', also sung by Donnie Osmond, who was from the same family that sang the song 'Baby, You've Been Flirting' which may or may not have been about a girl too young but it was definitely about a young female being stalked and threatened with assault and implied rape.

'Blame it on the Boogie' is a song about sex, sung by a tiny young man who grew up to be an accused child molester. Well it's about him wanting sex and not getting it because she would rather dance. And 'You're Sixteen" and "My Little Runaway" have been sung by many. But, Bon Jovi also has a song about a runaway, that says something like "Daddy's girl learns fast ..."

Probably the best one is by Aerosmith, who were at least writing about the aftermath of child molestation and making people feel bad about it. Observant people anyway. https://youtu.be/RqQn2ADZE1A

16 is legal in the UK (where Ringo Starr is from). I hate how ignorant the US is.

Vulture is a classic album. I see it for $1 at a lot of used stores. Pity, it's brilliant.

Good call! I remember this getting some airplay in Chicago on Q101 for about two weeks before they scrapped it, then hearing it a few weeks later in Albuquerque in heavy rotation. Definitely a creepy tune, still have their VULTURE cd somewhere in my collection.

God. My Elfman-loving wife is going to read me the riot act for not suggesting "Little Girls." First-ballot statutory rock song, that one.

In the words of Mayor Quimby, I need a beer and a shower.

I don't really dig John Sebastian, so this sounds like a plan.

Stop lying to yourself, Gilbert, or should I say Mr. O'Sullivan or should I say Cradle Robber!

Yeah. I wanna take you away from it... In my makeout van, 'cause that's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.

Web Sheriff, isn't there an old lady getting mugged on the corner of MySpace and YouTube where your services would be more appreciated?

I think it's worse that they guy's trying to get her loaded on cocaine and Cuervo.

I can't back FNM because creepy was the overarching intention. The majority of the chosen songs are based on an inadvertent but sincere admiration of the Teletubby-Tang.

We're grateful to you, 'cause none of us wanted to write "Young Girl" up anyhow.

Well, it's certainly crappy. What's a couple letters between friends?

It's definitely creepy.

I don't remember that one even coming up - not sure how we missed it.

It was one of the many, many suggestions -- it was cut only in the interest of brevity.

I saw Winger in concert last summer (I was going through a hair band phase and was seeing all of the bands that passed through the area) and towards the end of "Seventeen" Kip Winger now says "She's only 35..." That got a good laugh out of all the ladies in attendance.

What about The Lovin' Spoonful's "Younger Girl":

And should I hang around, acting like her brother
In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
And why
If I wait I'll just die, yeah...

How did The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There not make the list?

"Clair" is not a statutory/pedo song...it's sung by an Uncle to his niece, it's actually more poignant/innocent than anything else...

In a weird way, this makes me proud to be part of this website.

Is there going to be a second or third part? This is only a short list of what everyone suggested...

Hey, great list.

But "Into the Night" isn't a creept statutory song. I thought it was for years until I heard an interview with Benny Mardones. It's about a girl whose parents are divorcing and she's caught in the middle and he wants to take her away from it.

It still sounds creepy as hell though.
