"Pedophiles anthem?"

Yeah, to WSR a 20-year-old mentioning a 17-year-old is just creep-city, dude.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cant forget the pedophiles anthem, She was Just 17, which I believe is the 1st song off their 1st album. Sadly, Tiffany stole it in the 80's and ruined it for a generation.

You mean "I Saw Her Standing There"?

 

thats the one.

There's actually a pretty famous photograph of John and Paul writing that song. Pedo's.

Maybe things were different back in the 60's in jolly old England, but my point of view is that once your college age, you shouldnt be picking or dating up high schoolers, unless say your an 18-19 year old Freshman or Sophmore and its someone youd been with since high school and theyre still there but youve moved on.

Seriously? A 20 year old dating a 17 year old may be in bad taste, but it sure isn't pedophilia.

No, not literally. Nobody can be facetious on this [expletive] board.

PedoBear with the photobomb!

You can be facetious, but it helps to be good at it.

Let's take this thread in a better direction before its ultimately locked as soon as the mods finish breakfast. I always though that Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite was a great, underrated Beatles song. At least as far as the psychadelic era goes. For the early songs, I'm Looking Through You is a great song that never got as much play as many of their others.

 

I am totally on board with the "I'm Looking Through You" love. So underrated.

 

"I'm Looking Through You" is fantastic and easily one of the most underrated Beatles songs (in case we're not aware, "Girl"-"I'm Looking Through You"-"In My Life" is a pretty decent stretch of songs on Rubber Soul . . . ). "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" is just OK as far as Beatles songs go though.

 

As far as pedophilia goes, the age of consent in the United States is 16 years old in 31 states and 17 years old in 8 more.* The age of consent in the United Kingdom is 16 years old.* Meaning, the 17-year-old referenced in "I Saw Her Standing There" was of legal age in 78% of US States and the entirity of the UK. Further, at the time the song was released (meaning, after it was written), the Beatles were 20, 21, 22, and 22 years old. We can debate if that's creepy, but it sure isn't pedophilic.

 

 

 

*Note: All the ages of consent are current, because I'm not about to figure out what the age of consent was in the 1960s -- though I seriously doubt it was more stringent then.

Theres also an 80's hair band who and a song called Seventeen. I guess anythings creepier when sung by a hair band, Forget who. It wasnt Poison, Bon Jovi, or one of the big ones though.

[OleMissCub]

Maureen, Ringo's first wife and mother of three of his kids, was 16 when they started dating and had just turned 17 when (with her parents permission) she took a vacation to Greece with Ringo, Paul, and Jane Asher.

That was Winger, and everything he does is creepy.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Honorable mention goes to: "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones

Quite. Im not going to lie, I did like me some hair bands back in the day, but never got into Winger. All I remember about them is that the fat kid on Beavis and Butt Head wore their T-Shirt.

complete aside, i was walking somewhere (maybe the airport?) when i overheard someone saying they didn't like the beatles because all of their songs sound the same. i was severely tempted to punch that person in the face.

I I ain't sayin' it's right......but I understand.

Heh, always loved that Chris Rock bit

I can't think of many bands whose sound changed as dramatically throughout their run as the Beatles.

 

They went from teenybopper pop to psychedelic rock to bluesy rock (Lennon) and in between found time to record mainstream pop, vaudeville, country western, hard rock/primitive metal (supposedly Helter Skelter), children's music, soul, folk and whatever the hell Revolution No. 9 is.

 

Maybe there's a standard stereotypical Beatles sound which I would guess would be taken from the Rubber Soul era, but to suggest all their songs sound the same is either idiotic or ignorant.

OK I had to do it since I was bored waiting for my dinner to get here:

 

Ah, look at all the loser Cub fans

Ah, look at all the loser Cub fans

 

Michael Quade looks at the mound on the field where a drubbing has been,

Lives in denial.

Waits at the top step, wearing the look that he left Demp too long,

Was it so wrong?

 

All the loser Cubs fans

Why do they all stay true?

All the loser Cub fans

Why do they still wear blue?

 

Jimbo McHendry working the phones for a lefty that no one will pay,

Fans are in fear.

Look at him working, eating his donuts in the night when there's nobody there,

Why's he still here?

 

All the loser Cubs fans

Why do they all stay true?

All the loser Cub fans

Why do they still wear blue?

 

Ah, look at all the loser Cub fans

Ah, look at all the loser Cub fans

 

Michael Quade made Blake hit third and was buried alone for this sin,

He just can't win.

Jimbo McHendry, wiping the dirt from his hands of another bad year,

But still they care.

All in the span of about six or seven years of recording.

Yeah, they were so varied in their sound that it's impossible to come up with a stereotypical Beatles song, but if I had to choose I'd probably pick something like "Rain". It's poppy enough to have a very good and memorable melody, has traditional Beatles harmonies, has a slight psychedelic vibe, has backwards music in it, has their Rickenbacker jangly-guitar sound, and has a melodic Macca bassline.
