On the podcast today, in honor of week 17, Jeff and Amal and I started trying to name songs with the word seventeen in them (not necessarily in the title). On the spot, we came up with:
I Saw Her Standing There
17 Again
Edge of Seventeen
Dancing Queen
You have any others?

"Seventeen forever" by Metro Station

Here's some food for thought, from http://www.songcrossfire.com/abba-dancing_queen.php
"In Sweden the word seventeen is actually used as a curse word. In effect, the song is saying, "You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, but damned." The Swedish belief that seventeen is a curse came from the Romans. They wrote seventeen as XVII which is an anagram for VIXI. In Latin this literally means "I have lived" or, more accurately "My life is over". Thus the happy pop music is accompanied by the singing of "You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, but your life is over, babe!" The queen viewed her life as over since she thought she was stuck in the role of monarch, as well as in the role of a woman."
