Back in the day, when songs had good lyrics.... (not!)

i decided that i'd been listening to the same songs for too long so i put my iTunes playlist on shuffle. And don't judge my music taste, but Neil Sedaka's Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen started playing.
Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

When you were only six I was your big brother
Then when you were ten We didn't like each other
When you were thirteen You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine
Oh my goodness.
How much like a paedophile does he sound?
"Tonight's the night I've waited for"
Seriously!
Okay, so she's not a minor on her sixteenth birthday. But he's like every parents' greatest nightmare. You know how they're paranoid once you're 18 you're going to drink and take drugs 'cos you can. Well, he's the guy who waits 'til midnight so she's legal then bangs her in the back cupboard.
Dodge.

Oh yeah, baby. Happy Birthday
(this is Neil Sedaka btw)

Update: Oh dear, i think this music thing could keep me occupied. I just heard the Beatles song 'I Got a Feeling'. Perfectly normal and then I heard this verse.
Yeah, I've got a feeling!
Ev'rybody had a hard year
Ev'rybody had a good time
Ev'rybody had a wet dream,
Ev'rybody saw the sunshine
WHAT!?!? Wet dream?!?!

You could really get away with a lot of lyrics back in the day huh? And my parents worry about MY music. (-_-")
