Well now. I know this song because it was still being played regularly on the radio when I was as young as the title subject. Today it has over 41 million plays on Spotify, so it clearly still has a user group. Maybe it’s being listened to by older folk who bopped along to it back in the day, for whom the ‘jailbait’ trope—and the song clearly puts the blame on the young girl here—was just another part of the pop-cultural wallpaper. Either that, or Gary Glitter’s prison cell has wifi.
