[bubblesthebikerbabe]

My Dad played this for me just before dinner on my 16th birthday in 1981. Wonderful memory (love you Dad! :)

[jojodot]

i don't know how this song got stuck in my head but i just had to hear it, thanks :)

[Harley03Classic]

This Was One Of The Crests All Time Best.

[dbj1941]

@Harley03Classic I remember the night my gal turned 16 and we heard this on the radio of my 57 Chevy. We had gone together from the time she was 13 and I was 15. On that night we thought that we would be together forever, but that was not meant to be. We broke up about 18 months later and she moved out of town and I haven't seen her since. I still think of her often and wonder what if. I've been married to my wonderful wife for over 46 years, and even though I wonder I wouldn't change.

[TheGran0la]

wooow ...you make me feel so young!!! Thanks.. <3 

[awesomeneiss]

im 16. I feel old compared to 13; 14; and 15 year old kids

[silvericeman92]

@awesomeneiss yeah welll im 19

[jamiruiz]

Conocí "American graffiti" y esta canción cuando tenía dieciséis. Ahora quien tiene dieciséis es mi hija, y a ella se la dedico. Ahora, con esa edad, lo que menos piensa es en su padre, ahora lo que más importa son sus amigos y las opiniones de éstos. Para cuando lo quiera leer, aquí le dejo este mensaje del hombre que más la amará en su vida.

[imaninjasaywhaaa]

happy sweet sixteen birthday my beautiful daughter love you!!

[Ashxoxo15]

It's my sixteenth birthday today.

<3

[25FIREBALL]

as a "OLD GUY" it is rewarding to know the youth of today can like a piece of music history

[brucew44guns]

Ive listened to this for well over 50 years, and NO---I'm not at all tired of hearing it, simply wonderful.

[TBirdNeil]

I was born in '63. The first time I heard this was when I saw American Graffiti on UK TV in '79. I was already into the 50s, but if I hadn't been, American Graffiti and Sixteen Candles would have instantly converted me to Rock 'n' Roll.

[Msbrightside33]

its my 16th bday today :D

[bammegan1]

someone at my school sang this song to his girlfriend at lunch for her 16th birthday, it was so cute <3 then for a teachers birthday these guys remade it '40 candles' for his 40th birthday. it was hilarious

[insanity123yeah]

It's my 16 birthday today :D

[brucew44guns]

One of my favorite of all the old songs of the 50's. Wish we still had music like this even now, never gets old to me.,

[MsLadyshines]

Remember when we all were 16! Wow! Great song! Great group!

MsLadyshines

[Margie1595]

[navarro1015]

I remember waking up to this song playing on my 16th. My dad and mom were cleaning the house to get it ready for my birthday party. I played this for my daughter on her 16th. It is a memory I will always treasure and I hope I have given my daughter something to treasure.

[Marcialovely]

Ohhhhh!Meu amorzinho,Obrigada Te amo.É lindo!!♥♥

[sugarfoot59]

Yep, I was 17 when this was out, and I was going with this girl, and ever since, I have always remembered this song, and it still brings back memories of a time when things were simpler and less complicated, even if we still had our own set of problems and worries, at least to us.

[josh95952]

I was 16 in 1959 and when I came home from shopping my parents had a surprise birthday party for me and the Crests sang this song. I LOVE the Crests and their music, their songs. It was a day I will never forget. Thanks Crests, I love you.

[BELLALUCESLOVE]

MY DAD PLAYED THIS FOR MY MOM ON HER 16TH WHEN THEY MEET, THEN ON MY 16TH AND TODAY I AM SENDING IT TO MY NIECE, 55 YEARS LATER WHO TURNS 16 ON FRIDAY~SOME THINGS ARE PRICELSS AND THIS IS ONE!

[girlslipink]

[josh95952]

I was 16 in January of 1959. When I walked in the house after being away for the day my family was waiting for me with a surprise 16th birthday party and they played this wonderful song. It was one of the happiest days of my life. I play this song for every member of my family on their birthdays. I love you Crests!

[blackspace007]

[josh95952]

I LOVE this song. I was 16 in 1959 and my parents had a surprise party for me and they played this song when I walked in the door. It's a night I will never forget. Thank you Crests, I love you and I love your music.

[CoolPhyaMusic]

[paulette01]

[Timei]

Who cares what age you are? Music is timeless.

[kuysie]

[luna0883]

@justingatlin1 well, i don't think it was creepy, he didn't dedicated to me, what i tried to say is that he played it for me, n i didn't c anything wrong with it, esp. cause that teacher was so nice @ all of his students, always very helpful n was always willing to listen to all of us when we where going thru hard times!!!

There's nothing that feels more content than snuggling with your girlfriend in your hot rod listening to this song.

[alienhuman]

[alerep915]

i wish i was 16th!

[talktomenina]

[MrBrandon122]

-Juliee aka Juzzie

Ily Sam!! :D

[1hottg35]

Great song!!

[TheMelloMollie]

My dad played this song on my 16th birthday.(: Which was on Saturday. :DD

It makes me want to cry. gaha.

[littletwister]

How in the world can you dislike this song. It's one of the best of all time.

[watchful38]

I had just entered the Seminary when this came out...50 years later, I"m a retired priest. and still love to see "people in love"! "Two roads diverged in a yellow woods, and I took the one less travelled by..." No regrets, but I can hardly understand young people separating if they were once in love. It's sad. Encouragement to the young is so important, even if they are living together without marriage!

[TheMelloMollie]

@chris185821 I am terribly sorry. That is just horrible, but I promise you things WILL get better. Okay? Stay strong.

[avataranime101]

I just turned 16 like 30 seconds ago!
