      Tiffany covered that song in, I think, 1986 - I don’t remember any controversy over it other than it butchered a Beatles classic. Then again, the redhead teenage girl from California had also released a cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now”, so she was viewed by the public much differently than a scruffy 20something-year-old Kip Winger.

    Hilarious reaction. One thing you have to keep in mind was that rock and roll for so many years was marketed directly to teenagers. When we heard songs like this as teens, nothing seemed strange about it at all, it seemed totally normal. And my younger sister dated someone who was 18 when she was 16, and she dated someone who was 24 when she was 17. My first girlfriend when I was 16, was nearly 18 and turned 18 while I was still going out with her.

      Yeah, when I went to high school in the early 80’s, many of popular girls & cheerleaders dated guys in college. It just wasn’t thought of like it is now. I mean, these 19, 20 & 21 year old guys would come to the high school & pick up their 16 or 17 year old girlfriends. They’d even come in & say hi to their old teachers with the girl in tow. It really was a different time.

    Like all hair metal, it is meant for prepubescent boys. Teenyboppers that can't wait until they are 17 years old so they can do adult things, like drive, dink, and have sex. These were not songs meant for adults... which is why hair metal died over night when grunge came around. The prepubescent boys that liked hair metal in the 80's were now going off to College and needed more mature music, so they abandoned hair metal for grunge.

    In all fairness the writer based the lyric on a Beatles song "I Saw Her Standing There", which contains the lyric, "Well she was just seventeen, if you know what I mean, & the way she looked was way beyond compare." For some reason, 17 was a popular age to sing about in the 70's and 80's. Joan Jett's I love Rock and Roll, Dancing Queen by Abba, Strawberry Wine by Deana Carter, Sexy and 17 by the Stray Cats, Edge of 17 by Stevie Nicks, 17 by Ladytron...it's weird for sure. R Kelly heard the song Seventeen by Winger and sent the lead singer a text asking if the girl in the song had a younger sister.

      @Victor Alexander Twenty when he wrote it, actually. But the point is that times and culture are constantly changing in terms of what is the norm, or what is acceptable. When Elvis met Priscilla, she was 14 and he was 24. They were romantically involved long before she was 18. Women rarely went to college or worked back then. They were brought up to marry and have families. If an artist who was 24 today started courting a 14 year old, even if they waited until she was 18 until they married, they would call it "grooming."

      yeah, it seems like having a girl's age mention in a song lyric or song title is becoming a taboo nowadays. to me, slot of the songs that mention girl's age are either from a perspective from a younger male who is in love or have crush on an older female or the other way around but with someone not too old like collage age. 16, 17, and 18 are a bit of threshold to adulthood and that can raise a lot of heated debate over age of the subject the songwriter is writing about.
      there are songs that bring age different but no mention of age but bring up the subject of he's young, she's old or vice versa. want a good example? go check out the song Dianna by Paul Anka.

    Funny reaction. A collision of decades. Back in the 80's this didn't seem like such a big deal. But i can understand your discomfort with this today. Don't forget the famous Beatles song from the '60's - I Saw Her Standing There - where Paul McCartney famously sang: "Well she was just seventeen, you know what i mean.." Times change and morality changes with it. As a side note - I knew my great-grandmother -- she didn't die until i was 19 - and she was married when she was 12 and had her first child at 13. Her husband was 2 years older than her. This wasn't unusual in the early 1900's. Obviously, life expectancy was much lower - so people matured faster. I laugh when i hear parents today say that kids grow up so much faster today. Are you kidding me? Many kids today go to school until they're almost 30 - then get their first job - then get married in their 40's - then hurry and have a child because they realize that human biology didn't keep up with our prolonged life expectancies. Anyway - my 2 cents - and thanks for this reaction. Very amusing.

I was even more shocked when it actually worked. I have some great memories of getting wasted with my pals then having them drop me off at her house and going through her bedroom window(because she was asleep). She never got frustrated with me(I was young and very stupid), or denied me. It was all good times. She was absolutely smoking too. Of course every guy in town was trying to hit on her after they found out she getting with some 18 year old kid. She wasn't embarrassed by it at all. Cool lady.
