Winger - Seventeen

"Seventeen" is a single released by the American rock band Winger, from their album Winger. Released in 1988, the song charted at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. According to Kip Winger, he took inspiration from the Beatles song, "I Saw Her Standing There", which contains the lyric, "Well she was just seventeen/If you know what I mean/And the way she looked/Was way beyond compare" and that he wasn't aware that it was illegal for an adult to have sexual relations with a seventeen-year-old. Winger also claimed that he has never had sex with a 17 year old after the age of 21. The B-side for this single was the album cut "Hangin' On." It is featured on the video games, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s for PlayStation 2, Saints Row for the Xbox 360 and Rock Band 4 as DLC. The song was named the 87th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. On the show Beavis & Butt-Head, Butt-Head comments that this is the theme song for Joey Buttafuoco, who is known for the Amy Fisher scandal.
