Seventeen
Virgin Steele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little Janey's got a crazy walk
Rock and roller, leather vixen talk
She moves so fine
Belladonna with an angel heart
Topless dancer, Paris pearls
She's hot!
Underneath the lights
I want to feel your body burnin' all night long
I want to taste the magic hidden in your charms

[Chorus:]
Sweet seventeen- age of consent
Seventeen- age of consent
She's seventeen and tight, ah yeah (look out)
Makin' love under the summer night
Bodies sweating into liquid life
Little girl sighs
Slidin' sweeter down her velvet thighs
Leopard movement, animal surprise




Sweet, sweet cries
Slide on, champagne siren, ah it's only sweeter babe..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Virgin Steele's song "Seventeen" describe the yearning for an underage girl who is seventeen years old, the legal age of consent in some countries. The subject of the lyrics, Little Janey, is described with sexually suggestive imagery, such as her "crazy walk" and "topless dancer" status, and the singer expresses his desire to feel her body "burnin' all night long" and to taste the "magic" of her charms. The chorus repeats the phrase "Sweet seventeen- age of consent," almost as if the singer is trying to convince himself that what he is feeling is acceptable.


The song's lyrics are controversial and have been criticized for promoting the sexualization of underage girls. However, some listeners argue that the lyrics are meant to be tongue-in-cheek or satirical, as the band has been known for their campy and theatrical style. Nonetheless, it is important to acknowledge the potential harm that can come from glorifying the sexualization of minors and to prioritize the safety and well-being of young people.
