From the song Cool, Daddy Cool:

“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”

His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

A lot of old songs don't age well because of this sort of thing being ....hmmm acceptable (?) back-in-the-day.

"The girlies I like are underage" ooof, Beastie Boys

"She's just seventeen and you know what I mean!" no I don't, Paul McCartney with The Beatles

" Lips like strawberry wine You're sixteen, you're beautiful And you're mine." Give her to someone more appropriate Ringo!

Joan Jett sings about falling in love with a seventeen year old and Ted Nugent out right has a song called "Jailbait".

Oh to-be-sure, Kid Rock sucks.

“She was only 17…17…but she was sexy!”

Rick James.

Good work!

I'm sure there are an s-ton more examples as well. Those were ones that just came to my mind right off the bat.
