Abstract
In the wake of the American examples provided, in and since the 1950s, by Bill Haley (1925-1981), Little Richard (1932-), Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-) and Elvis Presley 1935-1977), among others, the association of the British Sixties with emerging and expanding youth (sub- and counter-) cultures and pop music in particular needs no special demonstration. I therefore decided to narrow down my selection to songs whose lyrics focus explicitly on the overall chosen topic --- youth --- and I ended up
with three, for us to listen to, remember and hopefully comment upon, if only in the privacy of our own images and memories of the Sixties.
