Im sure i would know what it means though..... If your daughter doesn't know what it means than its nothin really wrong with singing it 2 her... Maybe you should tell her y she shouldn't sing it in a year or 2 Im 17 and i have never heard of those songs. Im sure i would know what it means though…..

Peer pressure is also a problem these days. I guess my question to you is, how did your child start listening to this? By you or anyone that your child(ren) is around, listen to this type of music? You child(ren) is not in school, so where are they getting it from? When I was younger, my mother listened to country and my dad listened to rock. Since I was mostly in the car with my mother, I listened to country but did not quite understand what was being said until I was older. I agree with Bidgrizz on what she said also.

It only made me love music more. Sure I memorized the words but that didn't make me actually believe in what I was saying. I only realize now that music only makes the brain stonger. It has a hold on people but it will only contorl their actions if they let them. My mom all different types of music when I was younger. It only made me love music more.

You have to know the origin of the song to really understand the lyrics, but essentially, it's mocking girls who are superficial and self-centered.

Since my husband is a music producer and engineer, they are exposed to all kinds of music. I was so proud of myself, I had them singing, "this SHIP is bananas..." And then one day, Cara (my 6 year old) says, "Mommy, it sounds like she is singing S-H-I-T." (yes, she actually spelled it out). Well, then followed a long explanation of why were weren't going to sing that, even if she was. The day I had to explain the history of the "N" word and why we definitely can't ever use that (after listening to the "Golddigger" song by Kanye West), now that's a whole other story...

I of course pick stuff that's not too rock-licious, but I'm sure I've played more than a few songs that probably had some grown up themes in them. For now, my oldest is 3-years-old, and I don't worry about it too much. But when she does start singing the lyrics "relax, don't do it, when you want to come," I may need to reconsider my music policy. Fortunately, I don't own anything from Frankie Goes to Hollywood. As for good kids music that both parents and kids can listen to, I really like Elizabeth Mitchell and her album "You Are My Sunshine." The Smithsonian Folkways Children's Music Collection is also excellent. I play what I want to play when we drive in my (daddy’s) car.
