a song called "superb-ass" should not be played in school for pre teens

[medona]

Apparently this song was played as part of dance for an assembly. Its one of these lame predictible songs by a woman that mistakes being a hoe with feminism. The person that sings it has fake everything to get fame - boobs, bum, hair, eyelashes, nose etc so a terrible role model. I'm sure it was a clean version, but should I raise it with the school?

You sure it isn't 'Super Bass'?

Is it not Superbass?

I think it's a tad bit "cleaner" then some of Nicki Minaj's other delightful offerings but probably still not suitable for a school assembly, maybe? I Would have preferred that over the Bach CD my headteacher used to play EVERY SINGLE morning for assembly though.

Sorry Super Bass* x-post

Yes I know that's its retail name, but its clear what they are trying to say with it. Unless they are pushing drugs, not that I think anyone does base any more.

Shameless watching

I don't think it has any other name than its "retail name"

Superb!

It's not about drugs either.

Maybe it's about fish?

Well hopefully you've bought your children up to see these women as superficial and completely over the top and yours will grow up to be mature, sensible women with the ideas about life and men and relationships you want them to have.

From these lyrics and your suggestion,though, it sounds like Miss Minaj likes her potential suitors behind..

"Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass"

I'm not trying to be dismissive of this and of course
if you're unhappy with the choice of music being used during their time in an assembly then you should bring it up with the headteacher, definitely.

Su Perb? How is that not funny

Superb ass!! LOLOLOL....

Superb ass!

I think her heartbeat is meant to sound like a bass drum?

Anyway, now that I've stopped laughing, OP you are right. I'm sure there's plenty of other songs they could have chosen.

If you did want to have a moan to school straight after the event would have been best though.

Omg cracking up at this thread
Got that Superb ass!

This has proper cheered me up, I love it! Superb ass!

Sorry

I've never heard the song.

But (boringly) unless it's an ode to a fish, if you are listening to those words, splitting the words after the 'b' gives the sound of 'superb ace'

(Awaits Masha, as starting with the sound of the language is the crux of phonics )

You probably should have complained straight after if you wanted to.

It reminds me of the time during assembly that Snoop Dogs Sweat came on. And it got halfway through before the head teacher came running in to switch it off.

I sometimes mistake being a rake with feminism

Suberbass = superb ass. I'm in knots here that never even entered my head!

I've got a stitch from laughing!

If you were talking about Anaconda then I'd agree, nothing wrong at all with Superbass.

Never thought of that . No worse than If U Seek Amy (Britney Spears) though.

In my dd's school they had some sort of talent show which included one girl (about 9/10) singing Katy Perry ' s " Letâ??s Go All the Way".
The world of MN will occasionally say I was right to think this sort of thing is unsuitable for pre-teens but will generally say I am a pearl clutching old prune to even think it was a bit too much.
I'm with Annie Lennox on the "not too much too soon" front.
But I did chuckle a bit at superb ass.
