In general, the whole (semi-foundational to rock&roll!) genre of songs featuring much older dudes celebrating 16 year old lust-objects seems creepy now.
Benny Mardones's Into The Night (1980) is a famously troubling example:

Motorhead had a song called 'Jailbait'

The lyrics are pretty gross

Baby, Let’s Play House by Elvis Presley

The Beatles did a song with similar lyrics. Run For Your Life. They even took a line from it.

I believe Lennon later said he regretted writing it and thought it misogynistic.

Creep - Radiohead.
Hold on, that’s not what you meant, was it?

Christine Sixteen - Kiss
Venus - Frankie Avalon
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Venus, if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus, make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task
Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!
Make my dreams come true
Hey, Venus! Oh, Venus!

basically anything with a sexy beat and a retro feel with some eye candy can be a turn on
it seems to be used a lot lately
but it's not a creepy song though, but you know what I mean?
you gotta be in the mood but sex sells
