She's already had a summer of me ranting about "Blurred Lines" Grin

She is auditioning for Nancy in Oliver (small local production obvs) and is thirteen.

It's the one described by wiki as a torch song Hmm - "As long as he needs me"

I just want to her see it for what it is and not a that romantic love is paramount at all costs or any such bollocks.

Schools seem to be doing excellent work r.e early intervention about toxic relationships so I think it's a good opportunity. I'll also be helping with phrasing and accent so won't be a complete killjoy.

The storyline makes your point quite clearly (as others have said). Your second example - of course it's sung cheerfully - its the juxtaposition of the horrific lines and cheerful delivery that drives home the point. Hopefully your daughter will realise that too. But by all means talk about the issues with your dd though.
