Sixteen Going on Seventeen
Writers - Rodgers/Hammerstein
Unreleased (1997)
Like "Climb Every Mountain," this song about the uncertainty one feels (especially about issues of sexuality) when standing at the crossroads between childhood and adulthood comes from The Sound of Music and was performed at the 1997 Royal Albert Hall concert. The Boys made it part of a medley with "Being Boring," thereby emphasizing the nostalgia for youth that is at the root (at least in part) of the latter song.
