Neil Sedaka HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET 16 ニール・セダカ すてきな16才

[LauraKillick]

This ones a real classic,strange you can understand the words and has no foul language. There are some good songs out today, but there are also a lot of bad ones with no singing talent and bad lyrics.

[dh190852]

jibhorse?

Does the truth bother you?

Today's music has no class. The majority of it is trash.

No talent, all show, little or no entertainment value.

[AntiSocialChannel85]

16 is legal :)

[jibhorse]

you da man neil.played this at my daughters 16th.all i can say is thanks.

[Gisellare]

Hermosa canción de los 60's , joya musical de nuestros padres y para los mas chicos de sus abuelos.

[xGiovanni]

Aguante Neil Sedaka loco!

[lilgiggler35]

I believe this clip is from 1965 American Bandstand. if you look at 1:50 you can see the AB logo on the set wall behind Neil.

[SgtCroydon]

I can see Herbert from Family Guy singing this tune. Lol

[savannah2661]

hes still alive and he can still sing an play the piano its amazing how a 50 something yr old man still has the voice

[crystalblue1972]

@savannah2661 - Try 72 years old. Pretty amazing voice, huh!?

[ronashesak]

The very last thing Neil is is gay...and if it's cause of the voice/stageshow that you say he's gay,,then lets add more ..Lou Christy,,Jay Black,,Frankie Valli,,Tommy James,,And for Christ sake Don;t forget Brian Wilson .. c mon things were different then..and a high range is not indicitive of gay no more than bass means your straight..By all means put him in,,and to homophobe leave Neil alone n go watcjh your favorite ''Vin Diesel''movie..

[KingOAnime]

Ah, the classics.

[sonnyjim2001]

@KingOAnime Gay Sedaka

[lissamj]

i think he was singing for guys. This man is gay.

[beatlestoneful]

I tried to sign the petition....but when it comes to "CITY?" IT WONT ACCEPT ME!!!!NOT THE CITY,OR ADDRESS.OR EVEN THE ZIP CODE!!!!I dont get it.

[Appleholic1]

I love seeing him at the America Idol finals with his cute little grand daughter. You bet he belongs in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame. When Rock n Roll was in it's infancy he was one of the Kings. One of the founding fathers who steered Rock n Roll towards the direction it is in now. It was "POP" rock but that's what a lot of Rock n Roll was then.

[DevoBassGirl]

Neil Sedaka isn't in the RnR Hall of Fame, but Madonna and ABBA are. Who's rigging this?! Neil should be inducted for both performance and songwriting. You wouldn't know from his teen idol years, but he's a Julliard grad and a brilliant piano player.

[InSenseAround]

@DevoBassGirl I am so sick of hearing about his Julliard scholarship. He's not rock n roll, that's why. Maybe if they had a pre-Beatles hall of gay pop, then he could be inducted. I love pop music, and this is just terrible. & I am REALLY sick of all of the begging to get in the hall of fame, give it up already.

[riviswim]

You mean he's NOT in the Hall of Fame??? How can that be!!!!

[smcconnico]

I'd forgotten how much him and Alan Young (Mr Ed fame) looked alike.



[MarxieMabbitt]

i am 16 <333333333333333333333

[Sarahh53555]

HaHaH xD ..Like This! :P ♥ x$

[OnkelMickwald]

This song is so creepy...

[InSenseAround]

@OnkelMickwald  Right! He's a freakin' pedo.

[OnkelMickwald]

@InSenseAround "Tonight's the night I've waited for, because you're not a baby anymore..."

PLEASE STOP!!! D:

[sonnyjim2001]

@OnkelMickwald spam

[LouisJopling]

If this song was in 2011. It would be about some rapper fucking some girl when she turns of age.

[badbob396]

@LouisJopling

sicko.....



[LouisJopling]

@badbob396 Hey, don't blame me, shake your fist at society, good sir!

[abcoremedica]

@LouisJopling I agree about the rapper but if that is the only way you know to express yourself it shows your true intelligence level.

[jibhorse]

@LouisJopling in 2011 language.get fucked bitch.

[namsak]

Loved the way he reinvented himself later on. Talented guy and unique timbre of voice. Didn't know if he was male or female first time I heard him. Great performer.

[InSenseAround]

@namsak He's female.

[BitterBarbara]

He always looked old. Great Producer though.

[Iamthisbored1]

Im 16 today. Wooop

[Vintageart1994]

Really nice song, The Audience is really enjoying it Lol =D

[Pakash8]

sound and pic not in sinc !!!!

Gosh...I just saw my Mom sitting in the audience...

[Bevet]

@Pakash8 I think it is poor lip syncing! Very popular in that era of music.

[Pakash8]

sound and pic not in sinc !!!!

[Pakash8]

Got the original single !!!!!

[Angelgurl2203]

Thanx so much for posting. my brother dedicated this song to me on my 16th birthday!

[Ecoman365]

Neil Sedaka - the best one of the very best !

[SarahSmith666]

She'll be sweet 60 now!!

[dawn2163]

my dad played this for me on my 16th and made me dance to it omg I miss that old guy so much tears of laughter and nostalgia. life was so uncomplicated then will out last all the artists today hands down, with their meat suits and lovely lumps, thongs songs and dirty womaniser bullsh*t, give me music I can understand the words to anyday.

[mwdwlw]

a lovely oldie!

[jackwhitfield]

scary!

[judithps1]

I'm sweet 44 and love this song !

[marsattackize]

neil!! hope you will have a concert her in manila....we miss you!!

[sassy12step]

It's not Rock and Roll though.....

[KIZERVONZINGER]

I danced this song with my dad when I turned 16, he is no longer with us but you have given me some beautiful memories by posting this song Thanks! :)

[PauloSimmonsStanley]

I'm "sweet" 19! =D

haha

[webeburning68]

the creepy thing is he's like 28 here lol

[roselucha]

now sweet 65....

rosalice

[TheMaraschinoDancer]

Today I'm 16!!!!! :D

[desertrat1111]

@TheMaraschinoDancerhappy birthday... I'm the flip of 16... 61.. but when I was 16, thats what was on the radio

[imsixftsix]

Today, I was sweet sixteen + 40.....

[squeers63]

Fantastic record,a genuine  all time classic

[djwardful]

this song came out the year I turned 16 so always been a favorite

[MERCEDES5378]

que tempos bons!!!!! isto é que era música!!!! saudades e mais saudades dos tempos do rádio

[DavesCarWash]

Is it true Neil Sedaka is not in the RR Hall of Fame? If so, the institution has no credibility for me. He is one of the true greats and has been putting out great songs for more than 50 years.............

[mgrelecki]

he looks like Richard Nixon with plastic surgery if he wanted to look like Gomer Pyle!

[mgrelecki]

He looks like Richard Nixon with plastic surgery!

[phatnatyouknow]

Today is my sweet 16<3 This song is my song today!!:D

Its also my ringtone lol:P

[seanburdine]

A classic! Thanks for posting.

[goyeabuddy]

[barr0914]

Hahah i got a link to this cus i just turned 16 today!

[Kicsiniki8814]

Great! ;)

[boofer69]

AWESOME !!!

[Ecoman365]

THE BEST !!!!

[WindBlade97]

he got kinda fat in the 70s

[JudgeJulieLit]

@WindBlade97 , But that (slight "fat") is irrelevant and immaterial -- as a musical artist (e.g., pianist) he grew even deeper and more talented and interesting -- he took this song into a new contralto pitch and interesting variations. Yea Neil!

[MrAlmostEasy]

I'm 16 today, im a guy, not a girl, but its a really cool song :)

[johnhofi]

what a bunch of corporate bs....tonight's the night I'm going to drop big big bombs you, and your future is sown up, get ready to pay big taxes, you dumb suckers

[sonjapige]

this is so great

[emiliog04]

Thank you Neil Sedaka, I know you for your music, what a singer, what an artist....///

[Bakerxo]

my mom woke me up with this song on the morning of my 16th birthday :)

[Freyja1133]

I've written a set of rebuttal lyrics to happy birthday sweet sixteen...

[ShockDoc]

He and Liberace woulda made a good duo.

[PhysicsProf1]

[thebadestbaboon]

I want to sing and play this on guitar for my best friends sweet 16 :)

[LemonOrangeCake]

[kendoka5]

dnm35 get a clue dumbass.

[Vemfire]

this song is very nice to hear! thanks for posting!

[nkaaaaaa]

Happy birthday to all sixteens! :-)

[Freyja1133]

@nkaaaaaa how about those who stayed Sweet sixteen?

( stopped celebrating their birthday as soon as they turned sixteen)

[mirniand]

shalala lala " happy birthay sweet sixteen "que linda cancion

[imachildofthe80s8089]

I thought this song came out in 1961. the american bandstand sighn says 65.

[shawent]

Great song,thanks mrwaynejohn for the share.

[silverdalesapphires]

This guy is so multi-talented, singer, songwriter, pianist it's not true. Pity the lip-synch on this film is all over the place. At least you can understand the words, he can actually SING...and the tune's memorable unlike most of today's s**t! Together with Carol King and co, he's an icon of popular music.

[kendoka5]

actually the audio's out of sync buddy

[toscanini9]

No one does it like Neil, but one comes pretty close; the late Honda Minako. Yes, Neil belongs in the Hall. Thanks to Desperado0001.

[adsteev]

He had hit singles and albums in the 50's 60's 70's and 90's And on top of that he's still touring! He must be about 78 by now and still living the dream. One word, legend.

[gibbdreamer]

@adsteev Niel turned 71 on March 13, 2010

[kchavis1983]

plus he looks like Quagmire from Family Guy

[SmilingMelvin]

Giggety, giggety goo!!!

[kendoka5]

kchavis1983 please stop commenting, you're wrong everytime you open your mouth

[kchavis1983]

not corny...very creepy. listen to what he's saying. thats a grown ass man singing to a 16yr old girl that was "his little sister?" ew. hahaha

[lrj1119]

Oh, give me a damn break! He's like 19 or 20 here. Whoa a 19 year old infatuated with a 16 year old...call the police! Seriously, there is something strange nowadays with this. A girl turns to a woman at around 16 or 17 ok? 15 if your latin. So, GET OVER IT!

[Freyja1133]

@lrj1119 mr.sedaka started writing songs with howie greenfield when he was 13...

Yes, now a days it would be strange... but ,it's only a song ...don;t take it so literally

my friend

[Freyja1133]

@lrj1119 no that's 15 ,when you're hispanic

[gibbdreamer]

@lrj1119 and he may have written it at age 16 but not recorded it untill a little later. And in the song they grew up together so two or three years age differance isnt a big thing. as you pointed out its inocent, people who think otherwise, well it says what they are not who Niel is

[gibbdreamer]

@lrj1119 maybe he was thinking of Leba, he was 19 and she was 16 when they met. And her father aproved of thier dateing. They married in 1962 and rebel as he is he is STILL MARRIED to Leba

[jameycruz]

@kchavis1983 The songs were for teenagers.Neil was young It's just more commercial .Neil is too innocent. LOL

[Paulann7326]

@kchavis1983 He didn't look it, but he was a teenager, no more than 19. Lighten up, this was totally innocent!

[gibbdreamer]

@Paulann7326 At age 19 Niel met a 16 year old name Leba. They began dateing and dated 3 years before getting enaged. They married in 1962 and had a daughter name Dara and a son Marc. They are STILL maried and are granparents of twin girls and a grandson. Leba and Niel werent childern together but they sure grew up together

[kendoka5]

kchavis1983 its creepy that you can be this goddamn stupid at 26 years old.

[SAITOHBLADES]

wow esta cancion es de la puta madre!!!! me encanta hay un video con la misma cancion donde neil aparece en un piano, hahaha parece que le dan mas color y mas edad, es como alucinar que los envejecieron...gracias desde Perú...ya que paro renegando con estos pseudo artistas de ahora aunque tenga 23 años los odio!!!!!!!!!!!!

[upwards11]

I remember when this came out! what a voice, and these were the kinds of songs we loved and danced to. memories...thanks!

[lydsman]

come on its the sixtes, wot do u expect?

[DuncanLafayette]

I must say that Neil is too schmaltzy for my taste, but I also admit that he´s a talented singer who has his particular place in the history of music.

[pushysoup]

where can i find old videos of him where he's actually singing and not lip synching?

[cathyluda]

02/11/2009 my sweet sixteen

[PCDnicole143]

It's my Happy Birthday Sweet 16 TOMORROW!!! Yay!

[itsfOreVeRANdAdAyy]

My daughter's birthday and I felt compelled to play this for her. I feel very daddy, I hope that she feels forgiving.

[sellingcalgary]

Corny ... but fun.

[imsixftsix]

The original sweet 16 would be in her 60's now

[johnnyrockintalkin]

never thought of neil sedaka as belonging in the rock and roll hall of fame,

he was always a little too........ (don't really want to say the word because i am not trying to put him down) for me. but you know, the fact is, his body of work justifies him being in the rock and roll hall of fame. the rock and roll hall of fame is completely shameful. they have ignored so many deserving early artists they should be embarrassed!!!!......they have their head up their ass.

[Freyja1133]

@johnnyrockintalkin I 've never thought that lynyrd skynyrd deserves to bw in RNRHOF... Paul Anka does...neil sedaka also belongs in the hall...let's not forget Nancy sinatra

[Stephanie21101993]

21.10.2009 my sweet 16. Great Song, geat singer!

[PiesYuki]

31.10.2009 [today] - my sweet 16 XD

[tiggerfan4e]

[102385]

I fucking love neil sedaka

[laggie24]

Édes Lindánk ... Nuuu ...éppen 16+16=32 ...pont ennyi vagy ...

Boldog Születésnapot  :)

Jó Egészséget és sok Boldogságot ... Puszi ...Puszi

[TutCracker]

Aggresive, my sister turns 16 this year.

[chezfun]

***sigh***

[PutOnASweater]

[chezfun]

[PutOnASweater]

[bayeelover26]

I love this song =)

[staples009]

i rlly liek this song.. haha im turning sixteen nov. 27 this yr.. i cnt wait!!

[rpattzgirl1234]

Hahaha. That's my birthday too. I'll be 18 though, not 16.

[sharx35]

So you won't be jail bait anymore!

[pogo506]

to day is my b-day (so happy that am 16)

[Freyja1133]

Neil sedaka is one of the biggest influences with my singing voice

[Freyja1133]

I love this song! at least it doesn't remind me of  why I stopped having birthdays when i turned sweet 16

[RP19890]

When is this video from?

[Freyja1133]

1961 ,I think

[RP19890]

That sounds about right.

[mrob75]

Doesn't look like 1961 here...These Bandstand kids look more like 1965...The little bows in the girls "flips" are a dead giveaway that is more like '65....I think this was one of Dick Clark's Bandstand anniversary shows...

[TutCracker]

1965, originally in 1961. Sorry Freyja1133..

[mrschriswalken]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA XX

[mamaagustina]

¡Gracias desperado0001 por poner este preciosísimo tema, para que podamos -los de la 3ª juventud- disfrutarlo!

[Fernade10]

i wasnt born in this era but i bet everything (cars, music, tv, cartoons, etc.) was waaaay better than now.

[Freyja1133]

you'd be right about that, fernade

all of the automobiles were made in america, aloong with other tihings

[analinda15456]

My father sang to me this song in my 16 birthday , I was born in 1968.

I love this song very much!!!!

[vusami]

Thanks so much for this song

[lambruscojoe]

Great song but i´m afraid sound and picture are not synchronized.lol....but it reminds me of a Jerry Lewis comedy routine of a lipsynching singer who sings 2 or 3 words off the right track.

[Kittielips]

All I can say is "Great" and send more.... Take care, Jennie.X.

[mastersv8]

Great Song thanks for the Video.
