The song was released 4 years before Ringo did this as part of a tv special in 1978. So Carrie would not have been a minor, more like 21-22. It was after the first Star Wars movie was released.
It's an old song, from a more innocent and unenlightened era. It was a Top 10 hit for Johnny Burnette in 1960, and that version was also used in the August 1973 George Lucas film AMERICAN GRAFFITI (and the soundtrack album released at the same time). Ringo's cover was released in December 1973. It was written by Robert and Richard Sherman (aka The Sherman Brothers), who also wrote songs for the films Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and the song "It's a Small World (After All).
@@Jesus420.69 the acting itself, even if she was 14 doesn't matter, it's just acting. The actual song content is what is explicitly advocating for romance between a man and a 16 year old.
Bro t's right there in the title. Then he even puts his arm around her, and says explicitly, "you're my girlfriend" then starts singing the lyrics to her "you're 16 and you're mine." What do you mean "let's not look much deeper"?
Yes, it's a bizarre video that makes you feel a bit dirty. And yes, you'll delete it from your browser history. But the fact remains that Carrie Fisher was soooo freaking hot, she's worth dealing with it.

RIP, Robert and Richard.
RIP, Carrie Fisher and the Sherman Brothers.
Ringo was 33 and Carrie Fisher had just turned 17 when this song and video was released.
Not strictly illegal.. but questionable

Co author of the song, Richard M Sherman died today 5/25/24 at age 95.
Come on, this was a fun song, and they were playing a fun roll. Let's not look much deeper than that and enjoy 😉

Was Carrie Fisher a HUGE Beatles fan even after the band broke up?
From the makers of R Kelly

Wtf? Two of my heroes being utterly vile 🤮😥
Is it worth noting that the song was written by the Sherman Brothers. The songwriters of _Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book_ and _Chitty Chitty Bang Bang_

Don't forget that a married 33 year old Harrison Ford had an affair with Carrie while filming the first star wars when she was only 19
