No, I have no idea why my kids are all into Rock and Roll, Rap and Electronic music now. Damn kids these days.

      I just played the music I’ve always wanted to listen to. If there was bad words, I’d either turn down the volume at that point or skip that song.

      My parents played fucking Shlock Rock cassettes in the car when we were kids.

      Can you imagine my shock when I find out that Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping” doesn’t start with “We’ll be praying… in the morning… in the evening…”

      My 7 year old was in a car pool to go to an after school activity. Each girl got to pick a song and apparently all but once picked a kids song. My daughter asked if they could play Green Day.

      I played Casper babypants for my kid when she was young. He was the singer of the presidents of the United States of America and it’s honestly just pusa music but a little more kiddie like. Absolute bangers plus my kid live pusa now.

        I successfully used the Barenaked Ladies Snacktime! album to move one of my friend’s kids from kids music to folk rock to hard rock. She now occasionally drags me to big concerts and we got tattoos (not matching) at the same time for her very first tattoo. I’m her favorite uncle, even though she has two that are actually related and pretty good guys.

        Can confirm about the Caspar Babypants bangers, and would also like to add Secret Agent 23 Skidoo for totally amazing kidhop, his daughter even raps with him.

      Yes. I’d rather my kids sing the abc’s rather than about bitches or their pussy and ass crack. Very little ‘adult’ music doesn’t have seriously adult overtones. Maybe 80’s rock with coke and pedophilia. Nah

          Give me some 80 rock bands that don’t talk about doing drugs or teenagers.

          Lol that’s what I thought. You got nothing but down votes cause you know I’m right. Denial is a hell of a drug.

            Not every song is going to be a winner. But generally speaking:

            • Heart
            • Led Zeppelin (this one is more 70’s than 80’s, but I think my point stands)
            • Huey Lewis and the News
            • Bon Jovi
            • Hall & Oates
            • Journey

            Just to name a few, all have plenty of songs without sex, drugs or violence.

            If you sit down and listen to every album straight through, sure, you’ll probably find a song that talks about sex. Because humans have been singing about sex for as long as we’ve known how to sing. It’s not forbidden knowledge for teenagers, they’re allowed to know that it exists. Some genres go overboard with it - a lot of modern rap, for instance - but you’re essentially arguing that an entire decade’s worth of a genre of music is just all trash that only talks about sex and drugs. That’s just silly, and definitively untrue.

            I down voted and didn’t bother replying because your comment was too plainly stupid to merit followup, you absolute tool. Not only are there plenty of great songs from the 80s that aren’t about sex and drugs, but you also just proved my point by picking a specific sub genre and acting like it represents all of music.
