[SylvieEvin]

One day, my sweet sixteen, too wild, too wise...

Now my sweet 50 (or+ ;)...

Tomorrow, old people like me, we must be no too wise!

Listen your heart, he says: Peace, Love and Friendship around this world

It is difficult, you know it. Your heart has no age:)

(I remember Billy, his terrible accident and Billy continues:)

[tommyliong1]

i remember my junior high back in 80's,....

one of the best song at that time

[Stormdancer343]

Wheres he been lately? Haven't heard anything about him!

[cyfarwyddiadau]

@Stormdancer343 He released an album in 2005 which he toured with. He toured again in 2008 and again last year. He is currently writing a book about his life (which will be out later this year), working on a new album and doing the occasional show around California. I am guessing he will tour again soon. Go to his official website/twitter/facebook for regular updates.

[TheLadyInRed89]

Oooh dear God ... Indeed, there are many beautiful and attractive men, but this much amount of energy, sex appeal and intelligence I have never seen ... Incredibly seksipilan man, amazing face and charisma ... Ah, if only I was born 20 years earlier ... lifetime in love with this man, his character and work ...

[mustainehater]

there's no middle finger in this version. the lower bar took it out. 

[vupijs]

Thumbs up for Latvian legend Eduards Liedskalnins! One of the smartest guy in 20th century.

[mansoldworld]

54 dislikes , fuck you ppl...

[micheleeurope]

YES, FOR ME THIS IS THE BEST SONG OF BILLY!!!

WE WANT YOU IN ITALY FOR 2012!

[steadiworkz]

this song was inspired by Ed Leedskalnin who is said to own the answers to the universe !

[bangbangshotmedown2]

53 people are sour sixteen

[mustainehater]

the middle finger is cut out of this version

[emmyyface]

I always wondered what he was thinking about whenever he sang this. ;[ Always brings me to tears.

[stardriven]

I've seen this video before but in the version I saw, around 3:00, he flips off the camera. I was surprised I never noticed it before but maybe I didn't because this version didn't have it. Is their two versions?

[livnlovnlife379]

seriously....so very hot...damn....what a great time.....

[seeyourlifeinpink]

I've listened to this like 50 times tonigt. I love it too much i think.

[SanjaSky]

[matrixtag]

I'm gonna be 16 in about 20 days :DDD Singing this song 'til then ;D

[TheMate01]

[ImAfraidOfAmerican]

It's my 16 today, and I knew this song from my fourteen birthday and always waited for this day to sing it and do anything for my sweet sixteen... :)

[livnlovnlife379]

damn...this song rocks....that sweet sixteen..I remember the pain....

[susu6627]

[Aravat100]

Edward Leedskalnin.......waiting for his sweet 16.......she never came.

[MrDurun]

Billy Idol Brazil

Yes!!!!!

[rockbrokenfingers]

I was born too late.

[marckellyv1]

@rockbrokenfingers It's a pity you weren't born later (like 50 years later).. Then I wouldn't have to read your spastic comments

[MizziLea22]

@rockbrokenfingers Music is timeless and universal..............I loved Billy in the 80's and he is still wwaayyy cool. He was ahead of his time, so he is still with it now, so ENJOY.

[divisorplot]

ac/dc thunder struck tower struck by lighting tarrot 16 help help billy idol help help! ac/dc thunderstruck

[MystralGagnant95000]

[Andricist]

Thanks Billy, you marked my teenage...absolutely great....

[DiiDee66]

ain't he the hottest????

[MillionDollarMan1989]

Elton John,Billy iDOL.Freddy Mercury,and Dire straits...Legends!!!!!

[kochos777]

how i wish i was an 80s teen ...music is my life and if i lived through the 70s and 80s as a kid then i probably would have killed myself by now seeing how terrible most music is nowadays

[TsugaruClan]

@kochos777 Your feeling is spot on, because I'm a lover of music (and movies) and I came of age in the 1980s and 1990s, so I'm familiar with the music from the 1970s and on, and what's come out since around the mid-90s and up through now pales in comparison.. And the 2000s are particularly bad. It's good that there are youths and young adults who can see the good in the music that came out in the 80s and earlier, but there are just too many who think today's music is great.

[WelshKala]

billy idol. always and still is, hot.

[FlickSuicide]

My baby is 16 today!

[captainjotaro]

[thincow12]

I was in the service back then. I changed the words to my M-16, I did all that I could for her.

so do I !

[alechile100]

he is so freaking cute...

[Raap123]

for my sweetest second niece who's turns to 16 on november the 30th

[tobiaslarsgunnar]

Billy wrote this song after he visited 'Coral Castle' in Florida - that's the opening picture - 'Moon and a Rockin' Chair' are two pieces that Ed Leedskalnin somehow built from cutting giant multi ton blocks out of the ocean of coral and transporting miles singlehandedly. All to bring his 'sweet sixteen' bride back to him.

[gogi1967]

...good old 80's , wonderful song !

[bluefacewhiteboy]

I rememeber this song from way back  Happy days thanks U-Tube

now to listen to all his songs sad I know

[Archangel101576]

This is the first time I've ever hear this song. It's great and shows a side of Billy most aren't accustomed to hearing. He had such range for a rock star (e.g., hard rock, ballads, etc.) That's a far cry from the so-called musicians we hear from today.

[DoubleVisionandco]

Built a moon for a rocking chair,, I never guessed it would rock her far from here.....

[changdynasty2000]

@MrElwoodBlues1969 I think it's misleading in your SN you have 1969. That must be your grandfather's birth year, if you can't even handle the fact that I insulted 9 people that insulted 46 other people. You need a life, kid, and an education.

[changdynasty2000]

@MrElwoodBlues1969 You're replying to me out of pure boredom, pot calling kettle? I'm expressing distaste for how in every video, someone will make a "X people [insert stupid Justin Beiber, or witty retort here] because they hit the dislike button." So how is it any different then other people expressing distaste?

Wait... I know, because you happen to disagree with it. Look here, if you don't like the Freedom of Speech, if you don't like how people can disagree civilly, move to Afghanistan.

[changdynasty2000]

@MrElwoodBlues1969 Basically, you can't *handle* the fact that someone dislikes a song you happen to like, but still want to voice it. So you do what any 9 year old would do, throw a tantrum, go on a diatribe-filled rant like a little girl who didn't get her favorite toy for Christmas.

You don't understand the definition of free speech, the First Amendment, that dialogue improves through open discourse.

[changdynasty2000]

@MrElwoodBlues1969 So good "etiquette" (in what circle?) is to not dissent? This isn't about politics, it's an analogy as you clearly take the same position as the Chinese government. People that don't agree with status quo should shut up, right? You pretend that only your side is allowed to express opinions, the other side are assholes. Wake up call -- opinions go both ways.

You're right that argument with me is futile -- you are intellectually premature to have a debate wiith me.

[changdynasty2000]

@MrElwoodBlues1969 Wow, you get all emotional just because you think you own a monopoly on YouTube commenting? You don't think people are allowed dissenting opinions? Which autocratic, Communist, government do you work for? Someone voices a disagreement with you and you start crying. Pathetic.

[changdynasty2000]

9 idiots can't understand and accept variance in opinions so they whine about the dislike button

[Ryanthehero14]

oh my god 45 people don't like this song. that is sad. this song is a classic. this song beat some of shits songs we hear today

[PearZeaL]

@Ryanthehero14 This song beats all songs made today...

[MegaMyviews]

@Ryanthehero14 Some? you mean all the songs made nowadays

[Ryanthehero14]

@MegaMyviews No not all of them. some that is good songs that we listen in nowdays from bands and good singers like Nickel back,Savage Garden,Michael Jackson,Cher and so fourth. But some of the bad songs that is the worst from worst singers like Justin Beiber.

[MegaMyviews]

@Ryanthehero14 Ok you got a point there justin bieber and rebecca black should not sing anymore

[maddmatt66]

@Ryanthehero14 No matter how great something is, there will always be haters because some people just have no taste in music. Let them wallow in their Bieberness.

[Ryanthehero14]

@maddmatt66 true there are always gonna be haters for all song writers or actors or any Famous Person

[282828m]

@Ryanthehero14

just some?!

[Ryanthehero14]

@282828m Over millions like this song. but some would rather listen to Shit songs instead of Real Music

[LittleSoffy]

Today is my sweet sixteen :D 

[DanielPunkIdol]

Why someone can click on the dislike button?I cant understand.This song is very,very beautful.Well,all of his songs are fucking cool,but this is some exceptionally.Because im 16 years old.Love y Billy :* <3

[LoudDogproductions]

hehe<3

[6irondriver]

I'm glad Chris Hanson never got a hold of Billy Idol or Jerry Lee Lewis..

[lezwitch]

44 people are too thick to know the story of Edward Leedskalnin and the famous "Coral Castle" he built in Florida for his "Sweet 16" Ed is the first photo you see in the video. This is a great song by Billy and a wonderful tribute to an unrequited but unending love...look up the coral castle on the web. There's an "In Search of" with Leonard Nimoy right here on youTube all about it.

[astrax85]

This song is just awesome, released something like 24 years ago and it is still as good today as it was then.

How can you not like it, 44 doughnuts ?

Thanks Billy one of the best songs ever.

[1973hunterdave]

brill song takes me back to my younger years lol when id spend time in my bedroom wondering y

[CLKovelda]

44 PEOPLE MISSED THE LIKE BUTTON ;)

[Acatastropheinbloom]

[muriator]

[kisska1112]

I like his hair when it's especially long and poofy like this. xD

[Eldomina22]

Billy always seemed to me to be like Elvis and James Dean combined.

[tatipunkrock913]

I would do anything to be the Sweet 16 of Billy

[EightAlek]

I love how he has that look on his face like hes rocking out, and there's some real mellow music playing!

[jonboy5555]

Get over yourselves folks, its only a song!

Anyone object to "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" by Neil Sedaka

or

"You're Sixteen" (You're Beautiful and You're Mine) by among others no less than Ringo Starr!!

[gothlover4u]

Why is a grown man singing about sweet sixteen and giving her a ring? I do anything for my sweet sixteen? Isn't that odd?

[TheWorstWarlock]

@gothlover4u Maybe he met a girl who lied about your age. Anyway, 16 is the age of consent here in Britain, so it's not illegal.

[SFMonster]

@gothlover4u What makes yo think the character singing is a grown man? Ever see Alice Cooper sing about being 18?

[sonjapunk88]

@SFMonster Great answer! Ha, ha, I love Alice in that age :-) Though, in  my opinion, he looks much better today

[cronauer1985]

@gothlover4u its about a man called ed leedskalnin and his supose love agnes , but i think its about his love of the number 16 , check coral castle out. it will amaze you , its ed at the begining of this .

[SubZero1703]

@gothlover4u lol how old you think he was when he wrote this ? get a grip :)

[rune473]

no matter how old we get the songs from our youth stay forever ..beats the hell out of the crap they push out today

[gigidufi]

billyyyyyyyyyyy ti amooooooooooo non è gggiustooooooooo sei troppooooo bbbelllooooo

[countwolfula]

EVERY TIME I hear this song, I think of my Ex-Girlfriend ~ "Judie."

She was 5 years younger than me, but serious about getting Married so young! We met when she was only 17, & I was 22. This was back when I was in College - 1983 to '86. In the end, at age 20, she fooled around on me, and we broke up, because she got tired of waiting!? The next boyfriend after me Married her, and screwed around on her while she was pregnant . She divorced him eventually.

That's what happened to "My Sweet 16."

[sallygirl2066]

@countwolfula aww so sad sorry for you dude you arent over it yet wow that was back in the 80s man you must be in you 40s or 50s

[countwolfula]

@sallygirl2066 Awwww!! Thanks for those kind words dear Sally! But I never said I didn't get over it! = )

No one forgets Love, IF it was real. Then again...

For every beautiful girl that you lose, there's always many more in the future!

This song will last forever, even if that girlfriend didn't!

[Getchafuck1]

FANTASTIC !

[gangstahboyy]

[tatipunkrock913]

Oh yeah ! this voice is amazing !!!!

[Ciricorone]

When I just started to like this song, I saw myself standing, back then as a 16 year old girl. Embraced by an awsome gentle guy. And ofcourse stupid as I could be, he had to get over me!

[Leetpands]

Ed would be happy to hear this.

[endthepainfulmemory]

[MBlaskowicz]

I still don't understand why's there a dislike button on this song

[bayernfan1986]

@MBlaskowicz there are people who look for 0 dislikes and just click dislike because there are 0 dislikes... maybe that person clicked it 47 times...

I am certain about it because a band i like had 0 dislikes... and one day i listened to their song again it had 3 dislikes... and the comments below were all positive... so that's why i explained it thatway... lol... hope it makes sense to you :D

[MBlaskowicz]

@bayernfan1986 i'm sure, cause there's no other explanation to click dislike on this song...

[wDJAVOw]

@MBlaskowicz Because some people are stupid!!!

[clashwithit89]
