[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you listen to the radio with the kids in the car?  Do you  ever take them shopping with you to a store that has music piped in?  They'll probably hear it.

I'm not worried because my children do not understand double entendres.  They take songs at face value without looking through the viewpoint of an adult with adult understandings and experiences.  If a song says "you know you want it", they think it is about something they want.  Like, legos.

Not the OP, but I have a problem with stuff like this because they may not understand the lyrics NOW, but I don't want them to get into a mindset of 'well I like the beat -- the words don't mean anything'. Yes the words do mean something and are often a manifestation of the objectification of women, the marginalization of men seen as ATM'S masquerading as ballers, and promiscuous and dangerous sexual behaviour. I don't want my DC's first exposure to sexuality is 'i know you want it'.
YES, I went there. [/quote]
