Protect me from ravagement
I'm 10 years old

Protect me from starving
I'm 18
Protect me you

^ pulled more or less at random offa rym lists

You got the concept wrong, contenderizer, but that would be a good idea for another thread.

17. Janis Ian, At Seventeen

21. red house painters - twenty one

22/23. Butthole Surfers - 22 Going On 23
→30. Peter Hammill - Pushing Thirty

I thought this would be about single songs you associate with a particular year. Can we do a thread about that?

i think contenderizer did this a few posts ago.

I imagine there's been a whole thread dedicated to that ... but try finding it!

Creeping on 16 y.o.'s must've been popular with late 70s soft rockers

16. Dr. Hook - Only Sixteen
16. Benny Mardones - Into the Night:
"She's just sixteen years old, leave her alone they said"

22. nine below zero - 11+11

~0.0003. The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - A Child of a Few Hours Is Burning to Death

I spent the day after my 27th birthday (now some time ago itself, urgh) thinking about these two songs

27: Herman Dune - Not On Top
"feels like I'll never get my shit together / 27 and I'm fucked"

27: Echo Is Your Love - Shadow of Stockholm
"for 27 you don't seem very smart / in the shadow of Stockholm
(move in at twenty and all you can afford is these dead, dead blocks)"

love,
an aging corny eur0-indie fux0r

30.

11/14/18/21/24/>59. Kevin Coyne - Marjory Razorblade Suite
