5. we've come a long way baby

[Rorey]

Now that song is going to be stuck in my head.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. Those are two things that don't belong together: honor and that ... that person's name.

[Layzeebeaver]

4. True... But this is sarcasm

[CurtEastPoint]

7. I know, and I was joking

[COL Mustard]

6. Just Like I Can't Type T***p's Name

I may have to start typing G***z. Although I may stick with his name, which translated from the original German, is a particularly clogging bodily function. He's at least a three-flusher.

[Hugh Bloody Bastards]

8. Counterstrike

It isn't just British artists who've done songs in this area!

[DesertRat]

13. Welcome to DU

10. Johnny Burnette sang it first

And we all remember how his career soared. Don’t we? Hello? Is this mic working?

[Merlot]

12. Is it better or worse that Ringo didn't write this, just chose to cover it?

[George II]

11. Even better, from the Beatles:

14. Even today, each state (and I presume territory) has

its own "age of consent", and many of them are lower than 18.

And even most states where the age of consent is 18 have "Romeo and Juliet" laws (and should have them IMO).... and I can feel confident that in 1973 Ringo was not singing for 30-year--olds.

I don't even want to go into the provision many states have that, with parental consent, people of ANY age can get married.
