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

The song is "Wiggle" By Jason Derulo, with a charming rap by Snoop Dogg.

Lyrics as follows - and please look away now if likely to be offended:

Hey, yo, Jason
Say somethin' to her, Holla at her [Laughs]
I got one question
How do you fit all that... in them jeans? [Laughs]

You know what to do with that big fat butt

[Chorus:]
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Just a little bit of... swing

Patty cake, Patty cake
With no hands
Got me in this club making wedding plans
If I take pictures while you do your dance
I can make you famous on Instagram

Hot damn it
Your booty like two planets
Go head, and go ham sandwich
Whoa, I can't stand it

'Cause you know what to do with that big fat butt

[Chorus]

Cadillac, Cadillac, pop that trunk
Let's take a shot
Alley oop that dunk tired of working that 9 to 5
Oh baby let me come and change your life

Hot damn it
Your booty like two planets
Go head, and go ham sandwich
Whoa, I can't stand it

'Cause you know what to do with that big fat butt

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg rap:]
Shake what your mama gave you
Misbehave you
I just wanna strip you, dip you, flip you, bubble bathe you
What they do
Taste my rain drops, K boo
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
Overstated, underrated, everywhere I've been
Can you wiggle, wiggle for the D, O, double G, again?

Etc. (there's some more but that's got most of it covered)

Would you say anything to the school? I have a 6 year old DD. When this song comes on the radio I turn it over as I hate it. She asked me why once so I explained to her that it is two men talking about women's bodies in a not nice way. When the song came on at the disco she got quite upset and asked should they be playing this? I think it is wildly inappropriate and want to challenge it. But am I overthinking it?

Would you mention it to the school?

I kinda wish infant discos weren't a thing, there's too much in the way of explicit lyrics out there that might get played thoughtlessly. Someone had their iphone playlist at a recent party and yeah, we're beyond Nellie the Elephant but are we ready for "wanna take a ride on your disco stick" at age 5?0

What's some good Inbetween stuff?

Oh yes it's a thing, and the music was sooo loud too

I agree it is not suitable for any school disco!

I am composing an email to the school right now, thank you!

Are infant school discos even a thing?

I walked past a primary school where they were having sports day with a song blasting out a song with the lyrics "I get that drunk sex feeling when I'm with you"

Absolutely unbelievable Hmm

I'd be fuming if this was played at my son's high school disco/dance, let alone an infant school.

Many parents seemed to be happily wiggling away to it, and encouraging their little DC to. I don't know if they've never heard the lyrics or if they just weren't bothered.

I don't think you need to hear every single lyric to know it's inappropriate - at best it's two men discussing a woman's body (and hollering at her, nice), and at its worst there's the creepy rap part.

Glad it's not just me, phew!

I posted this under a namechange btw, I am not new here but didn't want to out myself or the school!

Just had to look it up as I'd never heard of it, shit song, shot video and not at all appropriate for children

Only1scoop · 09/11/2014 21:24

I wouldn't be happy....

Noggie · 09/11/2014 21:22

I agree with you- it is awful and kids do pick up on lyrics like these Confused there are plenty of sings out there which are ok lyric wise!

Ilikesweetpeas · 09/11/2014 21:19

Also think this is totally inappropriate- I would speak to school about it
