Yeah I'm guessing Young girl wasn't around 15 but around 5. I wonder if he was friends with Johnathan King and Gary Glitter.

Actually - who are these people who like this song and make it popular enough to still be played on radio to this day?

Country music fans that are feeling nostalgic. (some fans anyway, not me)

Well there's no accounting for taste, especially where Country music fans are concerned. Remember, they like Country music.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.
