You're Sixteen - Ringo Starr

[nanmacd]

to everyone watching this video..it was done in April 1978 on a Ringo Starr special and Carrie Fisher (who was born in October of 1956) was 21 at the time and Ringo is 16 years older than her...just a little fun trivia.

[r0ckandrollTV]

Ringos like 50 with a 16 year old. lol

Ringo<3

[Shancus32796]

Ringo! Sing this for my sixteenth birthday <3

[Culebrinha]

It sounds like a timeless song

[MyDreamside]

first time i am hearing this,go ringo

[skinny1955]

Brilliant just bloody brilliant

[geati6783]

thats music, not that shit that you can hear on every radio station

like "we no speak americano"...omg what a crap

but oldies r always nice

[1959buddyh]

Johnny Burnette's version is WAY better!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bilbo2shire]

Oh my, my! Ms Helen Jean Blossom. My baby was decked out in red everything, including her personal wear. Fool that I was, I just couldn't believe someone as beautiful as she really wanted me. Sure would like to see her again all these 30+ yrs later. bilbo2shire

[TrueNegro]

this is one of the best music videos i have ever seen honestly

[TheSpikehorn]

I just heard this song this afternoon, always kind of liked it, but acutally listened to the words and thought about who was singing it, and found it quite distrubing. Didn't anyone else back then when it came out? hmmm

[billtrump10]

@TheSpikehorn This guy is a king.

[andymentalist]

@TheSpikehorn : Why disturbing ? She's nubile . I'm sure most fellas wouldn't mind an attractive 16-year-old on his arm.

[fishenelmar]

@andymentalist thumbs up for minors, yeah!

[JayKay62969]

@TheSpikehorn No. This was back in the days when people did make such a big fuss over every little thing. Society hadn't been contaminated with the idea of political correctness (blech! just typing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth) yet. Besides, this isn't that weird. Attitutdes about women and marriage were different (for 100's of years in this country). My sister met her husband at 17 (he was 10 years older) they were married for many years and had 2 children.

[mavmedman]

This wasn't a 'music video', it's a scene from Ringo's 1978 TV special called 'RIngo' and the girl in it is Carrie 'Princess Leia' Fisher. The entire special is on youtube.. jsut search for it, it was quite amusing with Ringo playing a dual role, George Harrison, Art Carney, Vincent Price, john Ritter, and others

[nnandofer1]

First, I think all we know about the Beatles, we know what we are as a group, GIANTS!, And we all as a group. It is also true that we all have our favorite in the group, in my case, I identify with John. But I'm sure all of us, we sympathize with Ringo.

[reg5381]

@nnandofer1 starr tours every year with great musicians.he is still doing what he likes to do and has a huge following.i sure feel sorry for him.

[johnsearle100]

@hgchjk check your spelling this is england

[johnsearle100]

i am 50.i am not a peado and i have no interest in self obsessed kids.if you cant enjoy good music why dont you educate yourself?Remember,soon you will be grey and have wrinkles.How coooooool will you be then?

[johnsearle100]

@johnsearle100 

[TonyPizzaro]

im sure shes actually a 30 year old, ringo isnt a pedophile

[johnsearle100]

@TonyPizzaro this song was just a song.By the way ,you have the spelling wrong.It is spelt peadophile.Tony,did you know a respectable doctor was attacked by a hate mob in the north east?Do you know why?The doctor had spent many years caring for and treating youngsters.The problem is people who cant spell,wear baseball caps,live off of benefits ,and generally hate everyone else You are not one of them?

[TonyPizzaro]

...that huge speech just because i made a spelling error? really???

[VJpoet]

those were the days when we wore pyjamas!

[gili1484]

i already commented here but still have what to say,

your right honey, i am sixteen, i am beautiful and yes - i'm yours !!! ahahahha

[diegootero1]

Ringo kind of look like a NAMBLA member in this video

[DasGoldenBoy]

@diegootero1 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[queefbreeze]

Great song about pedopheilla and JUSTIN BEIBER SUCKS!!

[peterperez01]

ringo eres el mejorrrrrrr

[gili1484]

i love ringo so much and i just don't understand how come there are only few songs of the beatles oof him singing, he has such a warm voice.......

[DasGoldenBoy]

@gili1484 He just doesn't have the range that the others have or had. He does have a good voice.

[shanehenning26]

great song

[hoomaniac1]

dude is that princess lea?

[RyGuy913]

[johnsearle100]

@eddyecho

[TheBeatles7337]

Thank God we still have Ringo. 

[Newport1974]

I think Ringo was the Best of the Beatles.

[aGlowingTeapot]

Woo! I'm sixteen! I'm yours, Ringo!

[you166mhz]

Happy 70th Birthday, Ringo!!! I can't believe that you're that old... but then I remembered that I'm 63 now, so you make 70 be like 40 used to be! I always loved Ringo's singing.

[gdosic]

[Tochiiwanttotochiyou]

i love how these older videos look .

[tmprogram]

16? ringo is pedo just like me! cool

[starbond6]

is this the same animator who did the music video for MJ's Leave Me Alone?

[TomatoDreams]

Damn. Too bad Rings doesn't sleep naked.

[TopazDupree]

Carrie Fisher was born Oct. 21, 1956; this song was released late in 1973 and hit #1 early in 1974. She was probably 17 when the video was filmed. I remember the original version of the song by Johnny Burnette in 1960. Back then, teenagers didn't always try to find hidden meanings in lyrics. "...oooh, when we kissed, we could not stop" meant that we couldn't stop kissing. ♫♥♫

[TopazDupree]

@TopazDupree I just discovered that this video was filmed for a 1978 TV special, which would have made Carrie Fisher 21 or 22 years old.

[mollehhhx]

this is so cute omg

[mattybock]

this is my favorite beatles song. it reminds me of doo-wop and old school rock!

[malcjow]

ugly bugger ini.

[malcjow]

ugly bugger ini.

[Ellie2847]

I love the swing beat, the blues chords, the background harmony, and the kazoo in this song. The video is just great, too!

[darrenmyers1]

heard this song today on the radio.....dont think It was this Ringo version , but this was the best sounding one I found on youtube, anyways this song is fucking great, the melody gets you on a good trip

[gag75]

Wonderfully trippy music video and awesome song.

[teldito]

song by the Sherman Brothers,Carrie Fisher was born in 1956 and this is from 1978...she´s 22

[ZBone12]

He's a good dancer o.o

[flashy52]

This song is realy cool, so is the video :D

[airnsmke]

ahhhh back when being a drunken pedophile was good down home entertainment

[LockyBoyTwin619]

Ringo probbaly thought that because she is 16, he could fuck her up the ass

[1960unclemort]

im not a big ringo/beatles fan but when i traveled around the US in the 80s me and a freind used to tell americans that ringo wrote all the beatles songs but let john and paul take all the credit . amazingly people believed us.

[Nyax727]

Wow that's princess leia

[heinkle1]

there is something perverse about this song

[mudbetweenmytoes]

@heinkle1 You thought that too?

[TheMaxwellFingers]

He's AWESOME, but he really does look like a paedophile in this video.

[cjellwood]

he looks like a paedo in this vid

[FireFox516]

Geez, this song is addicting...

[Roxy6721]

that's how i dance..haha :P

[fercherie]

@Roxy6721 i would love to dance with you!

[Roxy6721]

@fercherie k! let's make it a date! but...i can't dance as well as Ringo...or George when he dances in the "Got my mind set on you" music video...i can fail at attempting though, lol

[princess7strawberry]

Robert Sherman & Richard Sherman all the way!!!

[Roxy6721]

heh heh...I wouldn't mind kissing ringo...as long as he shaves :P

[hxcbbygirl]

@Roxy6721 Gross!

[Roxy6721]

@hxcbbygirl ur just jealous :P...anyway he's a freakin beatle <3

[MrNumnuts80]

it would of been better if it was you're seventeen ur beautiful and ur mine LOL

[eloc454]

fuckin sucks

[imdudits2]

she said she was 18

[mrtommyarthur]

this is the 'beatle' that told his fans he will burn their mail.

The NO talented one is being allowed to bring their name into disrepute If all you spineless 65/70 yr old numpties stopped buying his records that are shite anyway and stopped proclaiming your love for the overrated OAP we could somehow reflect on this plastic scouser for what he is.

[Xmenfan246]

Elvis started dating Priscilla when she was 14 and he was in his 20s. Ringo covers a song and he's call pedo? :|

[sgtpepperslonelyhrts]

@Xmenfan246 i know right? i think people are just jealous of ringo's awesomeness. haha

[Imaxination1980]

I like the animation in this music video, and of course, Ringo Starr rules.

[BeatlesFanCharsh]

@Imaxination1980 I AGREE!!! I LOVERS RINGY POO!! XD

[LaughingAtMyFantasy]

@Imaxination1980 I think it's kind of a joke, with him being older and she's...well, 16.,

[mrspock789]

omg he looks like any samburg in the dick in a box sketch! lol hes great!

[richtensail]

its an old song he didnt writeit, he was bout 30 when he sang it, gee i reckon carrie wood have bean bout 16, 3 yrs before star wars, she was 19 when she did sw in 78, so thats 75, lucky richard!, i saw this bout 2o yrs ago n didnt realise it was princes leigh.

[spinemelter2000]

The Cleveland Show intro where Cleveland and Donna are pink silhouettes reminds me of this video. Maybe this is where they got the idea.

[XxbethaniexX1996]

Is it weir dhow i like this song..... x

[justgetsome]

Really pervy, sorry fans.

[oldstylelife]

thats an old song dude he didn't evn write it

[justgetsome]

@oldstylelife ..so what if he didn't write it, he's still in the video. Is it ok for a 50 year old guy to bang 16 year olds?

[paddyjoejr1]

@justgetsome Who Said He's Bannging Her, Dirty Slob?

[justgetsome]

@paddyjoejr1 ....yeah i act that way with my 16 year old neice. Now, who's the dirty perv?

[paddyjoejr1]

@justgetsome Still You, Yeah.

[justgetsome]

@paddyjoejr1 pedo.

[paddyjoejr1]

@justgetsome You Aren't Very Nice! Nub.

[Lakrits3]

I am 16, and I would do almost anything to touch that mouth of his.

I love you, Ringo!

[katucheegee]

i have to admit that if she was really kissing him, she's pretty lucky...i mean come on....he's a FREAKING BEATLE!!!

[RyGuy913]

@katucheegee

On the other hand, he's pretty lucky, too! I mean, come on....she's FREAKING PRINCESS LEIA!!!  ; )

[katucheegee]

@RyGuy913 yeah...hehe..

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[kjhoskins]

Did anyone notice who the girl is? It's Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia. And something tells me she was younger than 16 when she did this video.

[DeafFret]

the part with the hands is a bit Terry Gilliam.

[i8beachglass]

love ringo-but old bearded man with a 16 yo kinda pervy

[UKTheBeatles]

Ringoo

[chacmool1st]

Meine Güte, wer macht denn hier eine Philosophie draus? Und Pädophilie? Dass ich nicht lache! Ringo, diese einfache und gemütvolle Seele hat eine Schnulze aus seiner Jugend gesungen - und so gut er kann, hat er das gemacht.

Ein einfaches Lied von einem einfachen Mann. Bei manchen hier zweifle ich am Verstand.

[qdzeye]

I am definietely not a Beatles Hater but we all have to admit that kissing a 16 year old is f-ng sick. Hes on the same level as Benny Mardones and all those old school pedophiles. I hope to God no ones still buying his nasty album!

[xoTaaryn]

He's was referring to when he was 16, in Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, back in the day.

[slimzkeebler]

@qdzeye fuck you enjoy the music you asshole

[mrtommyarthur]

Pablogeebee is right!

& others that state quite correctly this little spounger in his big bling mansion needs to be spoken back to. peace & love.

He's neither talented or a nice little innocent. peace & love.

No-one is slagging off the beatles. just all this rose tinted next to pension rubbish like 'he's so cute' 'best drummer ever' 'i LOVE Ringo'

Try listening to a REAL drummer who doesn't slag HIS fans off & tell them he'll burn their mail peace & love if they write him. Hypocrite

[lintchex]

EVERYONE SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE FUCKING SONG. god.

DO HATERS HAVE NO LIFE AND ACTUALLY JUST SEARCH FOR RINGO JUST TO LEAVE BAD COMMENTS? GET A LIFE!! LISTEN TO THE JONAS SISTERS OR SOMETHING!!!!! gahh!!!

BUt I love Ringo, He is like the one person i would do anything for :)

[caitlinsykes]

snap! and paul too. :D

[lintchex]

@caitlinsykes Yay paulie!!! :)

[mrtommyarthur]

Dont dare say anything bad about the 'little cooty' 'All cashed in an nervous'

Don't write to me peace and love peace and love - your letters will be torched peace and love peace and love

But make sure you buy the new records peace and love peace and love.

[renoboo]

so many Ringo haters lol . . .

[irishincubus101]

hum... ringo starr was the only one in the Beatles that COULD get over his ego, so i think that made him respected.

[lecturerob]

This guy is a 'talented' and 'respected' individual HOW?

Is this the one that did a youtube video telling all the beatles fans to peace and love off then did the whole buy my records thing a few months later?

[curvy71]

this is a good song

[mrtommyarthur]

Ringo sucks ass. Like others on here have to agree that the woman from the white stripes blindfolded and both hands tied behind her back drums better than this clown.

Like Starkey reads and cares? He cares enough to tell all his OAP fans to stop bothering him with the post and then tells em all to go buy his liverpool 8 shite on YOUTUBE.

Hes like 70 and acting like a tool still? talentless prick that got lucky.

[nrobnas43]

@mrtommyarthur Thank you for your opinion.

[Clancyboy7]

wow ur just fucking jealous u fuckin douche he was an amazing drummer, just listen to The End there is so much goin on in that song u jealous peice of shit

[MrsHarrison21Xxx]

@Clancyboy7 Yea

Clancy!! you Tell Em!!

[imnotgonnadie1549]

lol what a pedo. he's like 50. illegal much? at least here it is...

[4string59]

I love Harry Nilssons' backing vocals on this. And Paul McCartneys' kazoo solo.

[chewytoes911]

LOL!

Ringo looks about 55,

and she looks 16.

Pedo Ringo much.

Lol, JK i like Ringo compared to George as a solo artist.

[schusterlehrling]

He sould do a new version called "You're sixty"

[TheShowsTheMoviesNOW]

LOL

[TheMadcroc23]

@schusterlehrling :: lo fukin l thats funny they are around sixty tooo lol

[PreparationH]

Pedo Ringo, Why didn't he just wrote WE'RE 16, you beautiful... that

[malcjow]

Don`t and never have liked the beatles but ring is my favourite - good on the drums.

[pablogeebee1]

Ringo;talentless creep only Marge Simpson could worship!

If this asshole is rude to fans,well thats pathetic coz he'''s lucky anyone ''Nose'' him. Any monkey coulda played drums for Beatles!

He thinks he''s a big star when he'''s a no mark,wealthy off the backs of the three TRUE Beatles!

Hate people worshipping other people anyway;It''s feaky,he''s only a overrated drummer who got very lucky!

[funnystar44444]

@

pablogeebee1

you`re a jealous person...

[pablogeebee1]

@funnystar44444; Aah! Did I upset Ringos other fan(Marge simpson other one)?

How am I jealous of a ugly 70 yr old? Ha,ha,ha! He aint God so don''t worship him.He''s a Big Head with nothing to boast about! Lol!

[funnystar44444]

@

pablogeebee1 : he is not my favourite beatle.

its john, he`ll allways be.

anyway, how can you like the beatles, without liking ringo?

[pablogeebee1]

funnystar4444; John is my favourite too!

I just think Ringo has become an arrogant asshole.Who does he think he is being rude to fans?H''es lucky he has any.I hate the way the media and tv shows etc are all so indulgent of him like he''s some elder statesman.He has done nothing for anyone to get such adulation.

He''s an asshole.I don''t hate him,just not like him.lol.I like the 60s Ringo but this old geezer has forgotten his humble beginnings. The Queen of Britain is more modest!

[LewisJones1998]

This song was about when the little cutie left Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.

Ring-oh is queen of the drums forever,

[keesmeh]

maybe this song was about maureen....he met mo at 16...carrie could just be a fill in since they werent together anymore by then..

[ttekcupycnan]

I was 16 when he cut this thanks, Loveya Ringo

[slappyabromowitz]

the issue was the Simpsons showed him signing EVRYTHING as a joke since 1963 and then he was deluged only to find out a cash crop industry arose on EBay- so he lost his patience-so its a bad rap actually- now, he might be rude in person, I don't know- we all know that McCartney ususllay bends over backwards to accomodate people and I saw Lennon on theh streets back in the day and he was very friendly talking to a small crowd...

[iamabeetle]

quite agree mate,the guys a multi millionare,why should it bother him,some people can only get his autograph from ebay,want to think himself very lucky,he would of ended up a sad drunk if not for lennon letting him join the beatles,

[whatsupfamousface]

I ab. LOVE this song, n' used to always sing it especially when I was 16, but I had never until this moment seen the video. Really weirded me out, Ringo's like 45-55 in it or something, singing to a 16 year old?

~~willies~~

[moose0drool]

Haha, was thinking the same thing. Talk about a pedophile's anthem. Of course, in the video, he is singing to Carrie Fisher...who is probably the same age as Ringo....In any case, great song!

[moose0drool]

I just google'd it....He is actually 16 years older than Fisher...

[whatsupfamousface]

OMG, haha! That IS Carrie Fischer, SOOO Funny, I didn't notice that. Even more funny now. YEAH, he really shoulda A. had someone else play the guy in the video with her, a YOUNG guy

or

B. at least shaved his beard n' mustache for the video and took off the sleazy tinted 70s pedophile glasses ;-)

what were they thinking? ;-)

[melies138]

@whatsupfamousface in His 3o's, this song was recorded in 1974.

Still, it's weird I admit it.

[ymechaiekh]

also someone help, the part of the horn from 0: 54 to 1: 04 sounds super familiar and its killing me, its an old song

[neoglacius]

the song i wanna hold your hand

[ymechaiekh]

i first heard this song when my driving instructor was listening to this in the car + hes a afucking prick, but this song rules

[LewisJones1998]

Whatever you do don't try & write the 70 year old little 'sweetie' (ROFL) a letter peace & love, peace & love. He'll toss it in the bin. 'no more fan mail' google it.

Talk about senility this one lost it in 63. Claimig to be Diverpuddles (Liverpools) forefather & in recent years telling everyone to f-off & not write him. Won't do his estate much kop SURELY?

He has definately been inappropriate since 1962!

Sir Paul Mac is the elder statesman & should to tell this clown prince to stfu.

[TOBIISAGOODBOYreally]

What you don't realize is he is old. He is probably just tired of having to spend hours writing and signing stuff. Before he said to stop with the fan mail, he signed just about anything he was sent and read all his fan mail. He HAS a life. Imagine having to spend hours devoting time to MAIL? Wouldn't you give in after so amount of years? Ringo's a clown, yes. But a funny, adorable and lovable clown. How about you bugger off and leave this fantastic musician alone?

[pablogeebee1]

tobissillylongname He is ANCIENT and where is the ''fantastic musician''?Ha,ha,ha! Best laugh I''ve had all week.

He should answer his mail coz he''s done nothing for 40 years.What''s so adorable about a 70yr old Fugly ass DICK

who''s only claim to fame now is having the most massive snozz in showbizz history!! He keeps parachute makers in business when he has a cold,coz that''s only thing big enough for a hanky for the big hootered GIMP!!

[countrymike86]

You left out the part about how he is loved by millions of people around the world. Your parents probably don't even love you.

[pablogeebee1]

@countrymike86 Nahaa! I am worshipped by my parents coz I aint a fugly big nosed,arrogant GIMP!!

HA! millions my ass! They just love the Beatles which big conk was soooo lucky to be in!!

[countrymike86]

I'm sure he reads this and cares about your opinion.
