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

I'm old enough to remember when Relax was banned from the play list on the top 40.

Anyhow back to modern days. Yes Infant discos is a thing and has been for years. My DC are 16 and 12. At the school my DD's went to they incorporated party games too such as musical statues. Small children are very aware of what is in the charts and would expect to hear their favourite current hit song but the meaning goes over their heads.

Remember LMFAO I'm Sexy And I Know It with the censored video, played all the time at school discos and the DC laughed their heads off.

HowsTheSerenity That was Another Level, I can't remember what it was called. Freak Me? Something like that.

Sex on the Beach and Mousse T's 'Horny' were regular fixtures at my secondary school discos.

I have to admit that I led a group of under-10s in a bit of a boogie to this song at a wedding earlier in the year. I was quite tipsy didn't realise the lyrics were so horrible, the 'wiggle wiggle wiggle' chorus was just catchy and seemed quite sweet for us all to wiggle to.

I know that a lot of songs are quite revolting when you listen to them properly, but there are plenty that aren't - the playlist it quite a major part of school disco so I would hope that someone would've paid slightly more attention.

Ha Serenity are you thinking of Freak Me by Silk (later covered by Another Level)? "let me lick you up and dowwwnnnn til you say stop, let me play with your body baby, make you real hot, let me do all the things you want me to do, cause tonight baby, I wanna get freaky with you". Awful, but at least he is pleasuring the lady in that one. It is, however, a crime against music.

katee Color Me Badd! I thought that song was soooo rude.

What was that song that had the lyrics (think mid 90's) 'I want to lick you up and down....'? Only two songs banned at school dances. Oh and Closer by
NiN

Katee I thought it was all "a lalalalalong" but no. Girl I wanna make you sweat, sweat til you can sweat no more, and if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more or orrrrr. Depressing.

Blimey coral, you're right. I thought "what are you talking about? That's a gentle happy reggae song!" but then thought about it again and you are quite right

I used to listen to "Girl I wanna make you sweat" on the radio. I had no idea how rude it was at the time. But MY god! Why on earth is it ok to have songs that basically say "you might not want sex or you might not want it a particular way but by gum, this is what I want to do to you, and I'll probably do it anyway"

Fucking sick.

Interesting that someone mentioned Boom Boom Boom by the Outhere Brothers. I was 11 and in my last year of primary school when that came out and distinctly remember it at my Leaver's Disco, and my classmates and I jumped around to it with great enthusiasm. I remember there was a big media hoo-ha about them at the time, saying they were inappropriate for children. I thought "but the lyrics were nowhere near as bad", I then just looked them up and it turns out the version I am familiar with is heavily censored, eg the kid friendly version says "put your arms around me girl, and your kisses on my face" or something, but the original says "Put your niney on my tongue And your booty on my face". Massive difference.

If this Jason Derulo song was censored, and the hideous Snoop Dogg bit were cut out completely, I'd let it slide, but if they just played the whole uncensored lyrics at a school disco I'd be quite shocked.

I would be really unhappy about this. I think you're right to question it. Do please let us know how the school responds.

I think you've handled it well.

"I Wanna Sexx You Up" was around when I was 6, I vaguely knew what it was about but I don't think I ever heard it at a children's event. And this song is ten times worse. I guess the innocuous title hides the somewhat sinister lyrics.

I wouldn't be happy, no. I got the arse when my son's dance teacher was using "Blurred LInes" as one of the dance tracks - great tune, yes, abysmal lyrics and message. She stopped using it after she'd listened to it a bit harder, thank goodness!

Yes oohlala, totally agree re it not being ok, regardless of what used to be acceptable. Good point.

Please raise this with the school the song is disgusting and indecent and not right for an infant school disco. Not everyone has time to be of the PTA, however that doesn't mean you don't have a say at your child's school experience.

(That was to darkside)

"Now what you will and what you want and what you may do
Completely separated,
Till I deeply penetrate it"

This bit - what she wants and what she may do are separated.

I'm a year 6 teacher and am proud to say a group of girls in my class asked the dj to take this song off in their summer disco before I had the chance to do so.

Just because 'it happened when we were younger' doesn't make it ok.

Perhaps if more people had challenged it then, this acceptance of so-called 'low level' sexism and misogyny wouldn't be as bad as it is now!

which bit refers to anal raping?!?

Sure, there's always been inappropriate lyrics, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to draw the line at anal rape.
I sang along to Like A Virgin too, but at least she was having a good time!

I would send in my complaint with a suggested song list.

I suspect the person who picked the track list picked up a random compilation (after all life is busy enough for most of us) or asked a teen child (I would) and perhaps the pta or whoever organises the disco can use your suggestions next year.
