[Skip Intro]

1. "Christine Sixteen" - KISS

You asked...

While I think KISS actually did put together some good songs over the years, I don't count this as one.

But it does have "Sixteen" in the title:

CHRISTINE SIXTEEN
KISS
(Gene Simmons)

She's got me dizzy, she sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands and there's no use in pretending

Christine sixteen, Christine sixteen

She drives me crazy, I want to give her all I've got
And she's hot every day and night, there is no doubt about it

Christine sixteen, Christine sixteen
Christine sixteen, Christine sixteen

(spoken)
"I don't usually say things like this to girls your age,
but when I saw you coming out of the school that day,
that day I knew, I knew,
I've got to have you, I've got to have you."

She's' been around, but she's young and clean
I've got to have her, can't live without her, whoa no

Christine sixteen, Christine sixteen

7. Anonymous 1916 by John Wesley Harding

Hey, you didn't say anybody had to have heard of the songs! Nor that 16 be the only number in the title.

96 Tears is a multiple of 16; that ought to count. :)

...got ways just like a baby chile." Muddy Waters

Oh wait...16...never mind.
