FMM: Burnettes have more fun

As a kid, there was a song that was often featured in commercials. The most notable one was for a shampoo brand for kids, and there was a little girl having fun while the song in the background played.

The lyrics were "you're all ribbons and pearls, oh what a girl, eyes that sparkle and shine, you're 16, you're beautiful and you're mine."

Turns out that this song was a hit song from 1956 by a singer named Johnny Burnette. 


"You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine" is such an iconic and fun song. It's so fun and iconic that it was later remade by a lot of artists, including Ringo Starr.

But like many songs, the original is often still the best.
