Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown-up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high-heel shoes
Oh but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

I just had to post this salute to (a.o.) Chuck's cousin, Marvin Berry.
And to Chuck, and to Eddie Van Halen.

Thank you, Chuck Berry! 8)

Me too!  :)

Jerry also did a nice version of it with his 90's bands.  I think this is the only officially released version (great show BTW; I was there  8)):
