Would you say anything if this song was played at an Infant school disco?

Yonic it is harsh but it needs to be when adults are playing songs about Anal sex to young children.

Thumbwitch I remember singing along to that one. Then the 'Have a drink have a drive' line became totally unacceptable - the line you've picked out never even registered.

Have also got to the end of the thread realising I have no clue what 'Ham Sandwhich' means. Or the real meaning of 'Hit me with your Rhythm Stick.'

80s child, in case there was any doubt

Harsh, Little - most parents probably weren't listening to much except the catchy chorus. And what she will get is it not being played again and some more thought on the play list going forward.

I would have absolutely no issue going up and pulling the damn plug out.
No way would I stand by whilst utter filth was peddled to children.
This is why I banned Radio 1 no way will allow those sort of songs to be played around children. Where girls are nothing but sex objects and cool 'real' man is only a man if he treats her in a degrading manner like she's an object for ownership.

What good is a letter to the HT? All you will get is some head bobbing and a weak sorry all the while the kids present learned those lyrics were endorsed by every adult in the room.

The point I tried to make is that the organisers wouldn't have intended to have offended. So by all means mention it, but don't send a great big negative email. Things like infant discos actually take a lot of organisation, and it's probably organised by the same people running the fete, the Christmas fayre, social events, helping on school trips etc. If you think something could be done better next time, then why not volunteer to help yourself?! Of course they are double meanings, because an adult can interpret the meaning, but a 5 year old would not listen to those word and understand. I am not saying that it is and appropriate song choice for infants because it isn't, and clearly the person playing the music was thoughtless in this regard. Similarly children grow up much quicker now than in our generation, and 5 year olds want something more than nursery rhymes.

I think the main issue is primary school discos, parents i think will say something if its inaproppriate but secondary is different you cant really take exception at that age, without being overly twee.

YY thumbwitch that lyric is just grim.

This is another song that I used to love before I listened properly to the lyrics - still heard quite a lot on the radio, especially the stations that like to play older stuff www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mungojerry/inthesummertime.html

It's this bit that really gets me:
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

Misogynistic, classist, undertones of rape, all sorts of things all wrapped up in 2 lines.

Yy FOG - remember Jeremy Clarkson and his use of the old version of "catch a fishy by his toe" - that would have been turned off sharpish by most, I'm sure!

Would people not care if they were listening to a song that was incredibly racist or homophobic because it might go over the child's head?

"are black or 'urban' songs inheritantly sexist?"

I wouldn't say so - what do
You think?

I'd write a letter, I'd include the entire song as well.

Not surprised by the posts here as unfortunately we live in a sexist world. So it's not a surprise that people think it's OK to allow their children to be exposed to sexist music. Just fucking disappointing that people don't give a fuck.

OP I wouldn;t think you need to reevaluate the way you explain sexism to your daughter either seemed totally age appropriate to me.

I think some people might want to reevaluate the damage they might be doing to their children by ignoring sexism. What message are you sending your kids?

The penetrate bit made me ....and im no prude I grew up on eminem, i think id say something perhaps x

are black or 'urban' songs inheritantly sexist?

I agree about the OP's song.

Molly, I hear Sweat the same as you - but I don't think there's any doubt about the OP's song!

"Now what you will and what you want and what you may do
Completely separated,
Till I deeply penetrate it
Then I take it out and wipe it off
Eat it, ate it, love it, hate it"

No-one is instantly jumping to anything! It is what the lyrics say. Why on earth anyone would rush to give these lyrics the benefit of the doubt is beyond me

lol @ where does the anal come in

the whole song is about him liking some woman's arse
he's going to fuck her up the arse
then pull out wipe off his cock and make her to suck it whether she wants to or not

That's what the lyrics say it's hardly as if people are reading subtext here!

Yes obviously totally inappropriate for an infants disco or a juniors or teen disco for that matter! Glad the school agreed OP

Me too Molly and it is the most likely too. I find it very sad and actually quite bizarre, how women now instantly jump into thinking anything sexual is about rape.

I read the "cry out" in Sweat as referring to orgasm/ pleasure rather than protest, ie he was promising multiple orgasms rather than threatening to fuck her even if she objected.

coraltoes What is your issue with Sweat? How is it depressing?

Dark side, the whole song is about a woman's ass! So "penetrate it" refers to penetrating said ass.

Why, how do you read it?

yoni so where does the anal come in?
