Rock and roll songs of the time sang about the rock star seducing the young girls. Duh. You already know that or you wouldn’t be reading this post on a site dedicated to jailbait music, and underage love songs! Well, they weren’t really love songs — they were songs about sex with girls (usually, but sometimes boys) who weren’t of legal age to consent to sexual activity.
The original performance of this song was by the Arrows. Their version was about a girl in the bar who was almost 17.
I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll by the Arrows
I saw her dancing there by the record machine
I knew she must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favourite song
‘Til she was with me (Yeah me)
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long
‘Til she was with me (Yeah me)
Singing
I love rock n’ roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n’ roll
So come on take your time and dance with me
She smiled, so I got up and asked for her name
“That don’t matter,” she said, “’cause it’s all the same”
I said, “Can I take you home where we can be alone?”
Next we were moving on
And she was with me (Yeah me)
Next we were moving on
And she was with me (Yeah me)
Singing
I love rock n’ roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n’ roll
So come on take your time and dance with me
I said, “Can I take you home where we can be alone?”
Next we were moving on
And she was with me (Yeah me)
And we were moving on and singing that same old song (Yeah with me)
