A while ago, I made an entry about songs which mention specific ages in their title or lyrics. Like, for example, Alice Cooper's "Eighteen." And I asked y'all to come up with other songs of a similar nature. And you sure did

I need one for thirty. September and 30 are fast approaching me.

[tomthedog]

I know, I can't believe no one's suggested a 30 song yet. It seems like there must be a really obvious one we're all missing.

This will drive me batty, I know I know more songs that fit the bill (and not just ones for 17!), but can't think of them just now.

Were this a public entry, I'd link to it from my journal and send some music fans over who have better memories than I (but hey, maybe you don't want a bunch of folks you don't know wandering over here).

[tomthedog]

Okay, now it's public. If you think anyone can help, let 'em have a whack at it!

I was working on something similar a couple of weeks ago.

Jimmy Buffet - A Pirate's Life At 40
John Lennon - Life Begins at 40.

[tomthedog]

Thanks. I've added the John Lennon song to the list. Got any for 30?

Ringo Starr - You're Sixteen

(What is it with sixteen year olds and songwriters anyway?? Weird fetishy stuff to be explored there, methinks.)

It's the prime rebellion age, and rock n roll's all about rebellion -- that's the clean version of why.

I just added the Norah Jones and Cranberries (and I'm kicking myself for missing such an obvious song as Twenty-One, which I really like).
