[QUOTE=FaerieBeth] **Mahaloth** , the key questionable phrases from the song are the ones I quoted in my post: “Superman that hoe” and “Supersoak that hoe” are both found in urban dictionary. http:// www. [Urban Dictionary: superman](http://urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=superman) and http:// www. [Urban Dictionary: supersoak](http://urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=supersoak) (links broken for those who just don’t want to know) I have parents **mad** at me because I won’t let their 6 year old daughters dance to this song. Oh, and I’m a racist, too, for refusing to play this song, because, clearly, not letting someone’s first grade daughter dance to a song about being unwittingly hosed down with semen means I hate minorities. [/QUOTE] For the love of Og, copy and paste these definitions in a memo and send it out to parents (or read it to them over the phone). ---

My sis lets her daughter (age 10) dance to that song. My kid liked it too, for about 5 minutes, then moved on to something else. I just found out last month what “Superman that ho” means, but I’m too embarrassed to tell them. I think they, along with most other people, just hear the “Superman” part. My niece found some non-explicit parodies of that song online, with names like “Crank that Spider-Man” (you dance like you’re shooting webs at people) and “Crank that Pikachu” (don’t know how you dance to that one.) Speaking of inappropriate songs at school dances, my daughter sold enough stuff at last year’s school fundraiser to get a ticket to something called a DJ party - not really a dance, just a party for the kids who participated in the fundraiser, with pizza and a DJ. Well, the DJ played the clean version of Snoop Dogg’s “I Wanna Love You,” and suddenly it was the most popular song in my daughter’s kindergarten class. I only know this because I heard her singing along with the radio a few weeks after the party and asked her where she learned that song. Also, can someone tell this out-of-touch soccer mom what “skeet skeet” means? You may spoiler space it, if you want. ---

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] I would venture to guess that 99% of the people who’ve heard the song and aren’t between 14 and 29 have absolutely no idea what it’s about. It’s being played all over - high school sports events, dances, whatever, you name it - it was even playing in Kmart the last time I was there. For those of you who remember Lil’ Jon, ask your kids if they know what “skeet skeet” refers to… [/QUOTE] I think your guess is high, but then again, it’s a guess. You really don’t know. I think that the % is lower, but it’s a guess. The point is, it’s offensive crap that is NOT suitable for children. I doubt many 4th graders know what a vibrator is, but showing a picture of one in school would not be appropriate. Why is this any different? What I think is so out of whack here is that Don Imus got canned for saying something much less offensive to women than this. I defend peoples’ First Ammendment rights to produce crap like this, but it’s out of line in ANY school. ---

Well, there are [indy rap artists](http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=75285441&MyToken=16f8fde0-0605-420b-903b-1aa62b989bae) out there who are capable of making at least one clean song. That song is available on ITunes, and I think it’s better than that Superman crap myself. ETA: Bonus points for catching all the musical references he makes in that song, there are a TON of 'em. 🙂🆒 ---

I’ve always felt the “Daytripper” by the Beatles probably had some inappropriate insinuations. ---

Yeah, but to be fair, Daytripper’s most suggestive lyrics was, “She’s a big teaser, she took me half the way there.” Not really on the same level as “I’m jocking on yo bitch ass/ And if we get the fightin/ Then i’m cocking on your bitch.” ---

[QUOTE=Kuboydal] I’ve always felt the “Daytripper” by the Beatles probably had some inappropriate insinuations. [/QUOTE] As did much of Cole Porter (e.g., “Let’s Do It.” The difference is that a good lyricist could hint at the sex in a way that children would miss it Song: “Birds do it, Bees do it, even educated fleas do it.” Child: “Do what?” Song: “Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.” Child. “Oh, fall in love. I get it.” The concept here is one that existed when I was a kid and which we really should revive: “uncalled for.” The type of lyrics in the OP are uncalled for, and any real grownup should know that. ---

I thought I’d just give it a little listen on Napster. God help me and my customized recommendations (based on what I’ve searched for). As the mom of a 10 year old who thinks kids grow up too fast, thank you for not playing this at your dance. I think it’s probably true that the kids don’t know what it means but that just raises the possibility that they’ll sing it when it’s really inappropriate. And when they get to middle school and someone tells them what it means they’ll be mortified… ---
