For a dance class for reception to year 6:

Verse 1]
If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy
And I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm
Where the music don't stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes
Shining just the way I like
If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company
You met me at the perfect time

[Pre-Chorus]
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight (You're the moonlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating

[Verse 2]
I believe that you're for me, I feel it in our energy
I see us written in the stars
We can go wherever, so let's do it now or never
Baby, nothing's ever, ever too far
Glitter in the sky, glitter in our eyes
Shining just the way we are
I feel like we're forever every time we get together
But whatever, let's get lost on Mars

[Pre-Chorus]
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight (You're the moonlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating

[Post-Chorus]
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm levitating (Woo)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo)

[Bridge]
My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off
And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off
And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I think they're fine tbh. Also - sorry, but whether you think they are 'good music' or the fact you think there's so much better music out there is completely irrelevant. Expecting children to share your musical taste is daft and pointless- they can like what they like!

flippertyop · 14/09/2021 18:34

Omg it's only just dawned on me about don't stop me know. My 10 year old knows all the words to that. 😂😂😂

Hamster1111 · 14/09/2021 18:36

Played on the radio all the time. No problem from me.

@DeathStare

Meh. Wouldn't bother me. But then my kids surprised me by knowing all the lyrics to The Beautiful South's Don't Marry Her.
The fuck version or the radio one?

I don't think a song that has the word ass in it is appropriate for a primary school dance class.

TeamEponine · 14/09/2021 18:54

At DDs dance class, they use the Kids Bop version of songs, so the lyrics are adapted to be more suitable. We now listen to lots of Kids Bop, and if I hear the originals they are very unfamiliar and my instinct is to clutch at my pearls! Grin

I am not inflicting my musical taste on my child. Sure, these songs could not be further from the music I like, but my DD gets to listen to and like whatever she likes, subject to an appropriateness test. Her taste is quite different from mine, doesn't bother me and actually I like it that she has developed her own taste and owns it.

In this case, she doesn't much like the songs either.
