Inappropriate Lyrics:
"Summertime Blues"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I'm gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well I called my Congressman and he said quote Why They're Inappropriate: First of all, congress is a part of the United States government, not the UN. Second, the UN isn't going to care what a teens problems are. Just another example of early Rock bands getting facts messed up just so the lyrics rhyme.

Dated Lyrics:
"Summertime Blues"
The Dated Lyrics: Well, I called my congressman and he said, quote: "I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote."
Why They're Dated: Before the twenty-sixth amendment was passed in 1971, the minimum legal voting age was 21 years old, not 18, and Eddie Cochran was 20 when he first recorded this song in 1958.
