Does anyone remember the song seventeen; it was about a middle age man whose girlfriend was a bit to young. Like young enough to get his ass thrown in jail. Now winger is pushing 50 and still plays this song to many uncomfortable parents and their children.

It was written by kip winger and some other guy from the band Winger. And I believe when it was written the dialog may have went something like this.

SomeOtherGuy: hey, I have an idea for a song. It’s about this guy who is with a 28 year old.

Winger (in a raspy voice): Younger

SomeOtherGuy: younger? Ok how about a 24 year old?

Winger (in a raspy voice): Younger

SomeOtherGuy: uh…eighteen?

Winger: seven

SomeOtherGuy: SEVEN? What the hell is wrong with you?

Winger: Seventeen then
