A few days ago we were in the car and my 3,8, and 9 year old were singing along to Macklamore "Thrift Shop" and I heard some words come out their pretty mouths that did not need to come out.I tried getting them into the kidz bop music but that did not seem to work. Some lyrics are pretty crazy these days. And by the way I agree 80's music totally rocks. I saw you on bloggymoms.

I love your strategy and may have to borrow it sometimes. <br />And yes, I am ready to have some conversations with other parents about the clothes being made for little girls.

We love all types of genres in our house, so she gets an awesome mix of music that a lot of kids don't get. Disney makes me a little weary though, I got my eye on them!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725866058439527721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591060582880628088.post-56175761239979026402013-08-25T13:43:33.838-04:002013-08-25T13:43:33.838-04:00Yeah, I don't think the lil kids really pay mu...Yeah, I don't think the lil kids really pay much attention to the actual words of songs, they just like the beats.

I am laughing while I am typing this cause I am rationalizing. That's a great strategy you're using though. Curious, how old are your kids? I have 17 year old as well and certainly don't mind him listening to music with questionable lyrics, he's old enough to decipher the meaning. Hmmmm, forgot about the George Michael one though, might need to download that!

When they were younger, we listened to a lot of country music - not that they don't allude to things, but because the way it was alluded to was so beyond their comprehension. <br /><br />I'm a little different in the parenting department as in I don't really concern myself with those lyrics in music or shows on television. I listen to them with my children and sure - there are times when I think a song is just too much and I will change it - but usually some type of life lesson gets thrown in there, Momma O style. (For instance, "You Better not let anyone like ANYTHING until they put a Ring on it. And I mean a real Ring. After the Pastor MARRIES you." <br /><br />There are so many things out there to stress about that I probably put music lower on the list. I am more concerned about why they are making thongs for 7 year olds and trying to dress little girls like grown street walkers.

Yes, there were some very provocative lyrics in songs when we were coming of age and we probably should not have been listening to some of those songs. I really try to shield my kids from a lot of today's music because as you said, the lyrics are so in appropriate. Oh, and Kidz Bop... so not better. I try to introduce things that I deem appropriate while my daughter is in this transitional phase. We listen to fun, upbeat and very musical gospel/inspirational such as Deitrick Haddon as well as artists like India Arie and others with positive messages in their music. We also listen to a lot of alternative music because it tends to be less inappropriate. Finally, she loves the Disney radio station on Sirius XM and I enjoy it as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591060582880628088.post-6976694759196586642013-08-21T19:35:50.795-04:002013-08-21T19:35:50.795-04:00My son loves all that music as you would expect....My son loves all that music as you would expect.

Going back to probably cave men jamming on rocks, I think all parents think the current music pushes it too far. It is a challenge with younger kids, we listen to talk radio or news in the car and only listen to programmed music channels on TV, no commercials and you know EXACTLY what kind of songs you're going to get :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170306739961711124noreply@blogger.com
