When the Beatles did interviews, he was seen as the nicest one while the others were sarcastic. He had a goofy name and appearance, and girls thought he was cute. And he was the main character in those weird movies because he was the only one who could actually act.

Nowadays kids who weren't alive back then will often rank him last (aside from possibly Pete Best)
I am the Cheese! I am the best character on the show! I am better than both the salami and the bologna COMBINED!

One of the reasons John, Paul, and George wanted Ringo in the group was because he was older and cooler.

He had the best name of the group.

Western author Louis Lamour said that notorious outlaw Johnny Ringo barely did anything (besides shoot one man in the back) and only made it into the history books because of his catchy name. I can't really argue against that.

If the name Ringo hadn't become synonymous with a member of, let's face it, the single-most iconic band of all time, I imagine it would have become a common stock name for flashy, sexy, or edgy characters in movies and TV shows.

There used to be a radio station here that would play the politically incorrect song of the day . They had songs like "Cherokee People," "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon," and "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine."

Joan Jett's big hit is about fucking 16 year old boys.

Not that it's any better, but the second sentence in the song says it's 17. Sixteen just wouldn't sound right in terms of cadence.

I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about 17
