I believe this song is about The Replacements. The title references "Sixteen Blue" and the line "I am so unstatisfied" references their song "Unstatisfied", both from The Replacements album "Let it Be". A lot of people think "Let it Be", released in 1984 was The Replacements best album. It was their last on an indie label, and certainly could represent "falling in love" as in the song. Basically 6 years later, the girl in the song would be 22 and The Replacements couldn't "beat the odds" and broke up with much critical acclaim, but not much commercial success. The Replacements spent a LOT of time in bars. The boys at the end of the bar represent their peers who became successful and famous (REM?). who were way more successful. The girl in the song is kind of hanging back "out of sight", like The Replacements out of the limelight. |

| It is "I am so Unsatisfied", a reference to The Replacements song, "Unsatisfied" from their "Let it Be" album. | |

| That's how I hear it too. Definitely a Replacements reference, and the girl in the song is singing along with the band (The Replacements?) playing "Unstatisfied". Really sets the mood for the song. I also wonder if "Sixteen" is a reference to The Replacements song "Sixteen Blue". That would seem to fit too. | |
