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

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?

YANBU. Crap 'song' and very crude.

At my dd's primary school they danced in PE to sia - chandelier. Basically a catchy tune about binge drinking. It's a difficult one. Dd and I both love pop music but so many of the lyrics are wholly inappropriate. Remember being in the car with radio on with dd when she was four and her singing along to "it's my birthday it's my birthday I'm gonna spend my money, sexy lady sexy lady won't you be my honey" . Made me laugh but it's actually not good. As for the latest usher track- so so wrong on so many levels.

Its so difficult to find songs that kids relate to,but we can play in assembly/performance!!! Our little dance group desperately wanted the Meghan Trainor song,but we had to say it wasn't appropriate for school. Its a bit of a minefield,and yet the kids know all the words to these songs,so what do you do?

At the Year 5 disco the DJ started to play Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You" until the teacher ran over to tell him to stop. He clearly didn't think there was any problem.

The DJ was also the dad of one of the Year 5 boys......

Please raise this with the school. I hope you will be know as Superb Ass until your DD leaves.

This is funny I'm going to share it with people in real life!

msgrinch · 12/04/2015 14:58

Please complain. The teachers could use the laugh and you'd be Ms superb ass

Schmoop · 12/04/2015 15:03

liquid dreams - now that was a classic. I remember cringing as a pre - teen every time it came on in the car!

medona · 12/04/2015 17:38

To sure why so many are saying this is funny, the message of the song is about superb ass! Its not about musical, drugs or fish! It says it on urban dictionary

Although Nicki Minaj does have a suberb ass, I really wouldn't take urban dictionary's word for it.

As has already been pointed out - the phonics are all wrong! Superb-ace.

If your instincts tell you "Urgh", then follow them. You get a range of views about this sort of thing on mn but what i guess to be yours (and what I know to be mine ) is in the minority. I'd suggest being a bit more relaxed but not so you stop being you.

DidoTheDodo · 12/04/2015 19:23

No idea about this song but there are many plants with the suffix "superbum" which is along the same lines and totally inoffensive :)

Cadenza1818 · 12/04/2015 19:43

I wouldn't worry too much. My boys thought it referred to double bass as they'd heard the jazz version. Singers diction is so bad that they missed on the other references..As did I!

laughingcow13 · 12/04/2015 19:59

This has to be a classic!

WyrdByrd · 12/04/2015 20:09

Bugger - this thread has had me singing Super Bass at the top of my voice & I've just realised DD is in the next room facetiming the IL's Blush .

And I'm also singing Superbass in my head as df is watching the MotoGP and I just know it'll be my ear worm at 3am Grin

APlaceOnTheCouch · 12/04/2015 20:26

If you do complain, try not to call the singer a 'hoe' . you'll lose your moral high ground pretty quickly Grin

OutragedFromLeeds · 12/04/2015 21:16

To be fair to Sia, Chandelier does talk about binge drinking in a negative light so a responsible message really.

Discopanda · 12/04/2015 21:46

When I was about 8 or 9 the song 'Horny' by Mousse T came out and my late granddad (bless him) thought they were singing "worny worny worny" Grin . Superbass is nowhere near as bad as some other songs that have been around the last 20 years, e.g. Christina Aguilera's Genie in a Bottle about rubbing her the right way, oo er missus!
