We all have those songs we love to dance to and sing along to. We may not always pay attention to the lyrics since the beat is so catchy or maybe there are some songs that go really fast and you can’t catch what they are saying. Or maybe there are lyrics that have hidden meaning or seem silly to us, but when you go to look at what they really say it can mean much more than you think. Take for example song Cake by the Ocean by DNCE<\/strong> (Joe Jonas’ new band):<\/p>\n

why those feet cold?
\nWe just getting started; don’t you tiptoe, tiptoe,<\/p>\n

God damn
\nSee you licking frosting from your own hands
\nWant another taste, I’m begging, yes ma’am
\nI’m tired of all this candy on the dry land, dry land, oh<\/p>\n

You’re fucking delicious
\nTalk to me, girl<\/p>\n

Talk to me, baby
\nI\u2019m going blind from this sweet sweet craving, whoa-oh<\/p>\n

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
\nFunfetti, I’m ready; I need it every night<\/p>\n

This song is clearly talking about sex. Lots of it.<\/p>\n

There are some other songs I found that are super fun, but can impact kids’ sexualization. I thought this was an interesting topic to bring up because kids listen to the car radio and listen to their pandora, Iheart radio app ,and itunes and may come across a song that is a little racy and these songs can influence what kids find is fun, normal in culture. It’s important to educate our children and have discussions on what is appropriate behavior and what isn’t. Kids learn about life from what they see and hear. It’s important to guide them to stay true to their values.<\/p>\n

Nicki Minaj: Superbass<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think I like him better with the fitted cap on<\/em><\/p>\n

He ain\u2019t even gotta try to put the mac on<\/em><\/p>\n

He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look<\/em><\/p>\n

Then the panties comin\u2019 off, off, unh.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sir Mix-a-lot: Baby Got Back<\/p>\n

“I like big butts and I cannot lie!”<\/p>\n

Shakira: Hips Don’t Lie<\/strong><\/p>\n

My hips don’t lie
\nAnd I’m starting to feel it’s right
\nAll the attraction, the tension
\nDon’t you see baby, this is perfection<\/p>\n

And I am starting to feel you boy
\nCome on lets go, real slow<\/p>\n

Britney Spears: I’m a Slave for You<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a slave for you, I cannot hold it, I cannot control it<\/p>\n

I’m a slave for you, I won’t deny it, I’m not trying to hide it<\/p>\n

Christina Aguilera: Genie in a Bottle<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you wanna be with me
\nBaby there’s a price to pay
\nI’m a genie in a bottle
\nYou gotta rub me the right way<\/p>\n

If you wanna be with me
\nI can make your wish come true
\nYou gotta make a big impression (Oh yeah)
\nGotta like what you do<\/p>\n

Jessie J:Bang Bang<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
\nBang bang all over you (I’ll let you have it)
\nWait a minute let me take you there (ah)
\nWait a minute tell you (ah)
\nBang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
\nBack, back seat of my car (I’ll let you have it)<\/p>\n

Hailee Steinfeld: Starving<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I didn’t know that I was starving till I tasted you
\nDon’t need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo
\nBy the way, by the way, you do things to my body
\nI didn’t know that I was starving till I tasted you<\/p>\n

Selena Gomez: Good for You<\/strong><\/p>\n

You say I give it to you hard
\nSo bad, so bad
\nMake you never wanna leave
\nI won’t, I won’t<\/p>\n

Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight
\nDo my hair up real, real nice
\nAnd syncopate my skin to how you’re breathing<\/p>\n

‘Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you.<\/p>\n

Lil Jon: Bedrock<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m attracted to her for her attractive ass<\/p>\n

I be stuck to you like glue baby
\nWanna spend it all on you baby
\nMy room is the g-spot
\nCall me Mr. Flintstone
\nI can make your bedrock<\/p>\n

Ludacris, Lil Jon, Usher: Lovers and Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do, anything just to feel yo’ butt, why you, got me so messed up?
\nI don’t know but you gotta stop trippin’
\nbe a good girl now turn around and get these whippins
\nyou know you like it like that, you don’t have to fight back
\nhere’s a pillow, bite…that
\nAnd I’ll be settin’ seperate plays
