For example, I heard one mom wrote in to KFOG to say that her kid always listened to the 5 pm song on Friday, I Smoked Two Joints, but he asked his mom: Who is Joyce, and why does he keep speaking to her?

We try to play the 'bad' stuff only when the kids are NOT in the car. When we last had a date night we sat in the car and listened to some 'oldie' where the words 'fuck' were used a lot and just giggled like school kids.

That made the gift of his own personal CD player with ear buds that much more enjoyable for everyone! He likes to hear all the words, too. I'm grateful for now that he seems to have a serious (and probably hereditarily chronic) case of what I call "lyricsitosis". Kids Bop makes my ears bleed, too.

Somehow that just seems sad! DD, unfortunately my kids like to listen to the words of every song, ask me what each song means, and get straight the words they don't understand. And I think kidzbop might make my ears bleed. See, I'm difficult! Flo -- my kids head-bang too. I think it is just about the funniest thing I've ever seen in my rear view mirror. And I feel you on the swearing issue. There is nothing as satisfying as a good "FUCK!" -- hmmm, that came out differently than I expected... Jessica, Where's the version of all these great songs that they play on the radio? Why can't we buy that? I don't understand it at all. There would be such a huge market for it!

The kids head-bang in their car seats to it. And I don't need music to teach my kids the f-word. Yes, I AM the Queen... But seriously, I'm working on replacing certain choice words with "fudge" or "fudgie pops" (makes the kids laugh), "shoot", "freakin' people", "goshdarnit". Now I need a replacement for "Jesus Christ" and "stupid"-apparently there are no safe bad words for me anymore. Right now we’re digging the All-American Rejects-check out “Dirty Little Secret”.

But because he does perk up to certain music (red hot chili peppers and green day, neither with lyrics 100% pre-schooler safe) we try to stay prepared, especially when the words "stupid" and "shut up" are punishable by death in our home. We still tell him it's not appropriate so that he knows what is and what isn't, but we have to understand that at some point, he's going to hear it (and say it) at some point in his life. If you want safety music, pick up Kids Bop, as that will give you the latest hits watered down to a G-rating.
