Sounds like these timeless classics:

This one is pretty creepy if you think about it.

The creep factor would go up a thousand-fold if it were sung by a guy.
Folks, pls give a summary of what the song is about, in addition to the title.
Thanks to those who have already included the song summary
My Sharona - "I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind"
Pop stars could just brag about being a pedo in the 60s and 70s
I dig Lennon and The Beatles, but I Dig a Pony i is creepily stupid.
I dig a pony
Well, you can celebrate anything you want
Yes, you can celebrate anything you want, oh
I do a roadhog
Well, you can penetrate any place you go
Yes, you can penetrate any place you go

It's a humourous nod to his fellow rock stars

Yeah, i'm aware that some people (fans mostly) found it funny and even (dear Lord...) witty. I'm just not impressed. It's not my thing. To me, it's just a filler song. Lennon could write everything and get away from it. He was that big. He still is and deservedly so.

But like, dig man, ya dig the Dylan reference in the song?
Well, you can't compare "Blowin' in the Wind" with I Dig a Pony. Lennon could write a proper song and make that reference. He payed his tribute to Dylan when he wrote 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away' and 'I'm the Walrus'. These songs were inspirational indeed. I'm the Walrus is a truly psychedelic song, something I Dig a Pony failed to be, despite the fact that Lennon was tripping.

Pedo? Really? Sharona was 17 when Doug Fieger (then 25) wrote the song about her. Then they dated for 4 years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Sharonaif we're going the pedo route, then Little Girls by Oingo Boingo (Danny Elfman's band) has to be in the race.
This thing was actually a regional hit in the 80s in LA. People listened to it in their cars, sang along, etc.
"What made me write it? At that point I was just grabbing onto things that popped up in my head and taking characters and singing from their point of view. ... it didn't necessarily reflect me ... but it was just fun and I knew it was irreverent. I was out to offend everybody.[3]"
Well, then you've got to throw this classic into the running as well:

It must have still been considered socially acceptable for the most part for a 30 year old man to have relations with a 16 year-old girl in the early 70's, as Ringo has maintained his popularity with the general public. I guess if you put out such a song before a certain time in history, you got a free pass on the pedophile label.
My apologies, the song was originally put out in 1960 by the Sherman Brothers so it was definitely within the norms back then, and this gives Ringo an added layer of pedo immunity.

No man, you're way off. You're obviously not a fan of either.

I thought mine would be self explanatory, but I’ll just give the first line of the chorus.
“She’s only seventeen…seventeen”
“Daddy said she’s too young, but she’s old enough for me”
Winger - Seventeen
Nick Gilder - Hot Child in the City
