I literally played him, Don't Curse. He can't really catch many words, but if they are there and then he likes it, he is bound to listen to it more and learn the word.
It's Tricky
Now That We Found Love
Rapper's Delight
Pop Goes the Weasel
Hip Hop Junkies
I played bits of all of those. This all started because he wants me to play him Boom Boom Pow.
I think they talk about porno mags.
Oh yeah. That song really is perfect for 13 year olds. But it's at least radio appropriate, although lord knows there's stuff on the radio I wouldn't want kids to think about too hard!
Hot In Herre, kind of.
Hey Ya!
...now I'm just going to through all of my songs.
Well, we did listen to songs like "Afternoon Delight" and "If you like Pina Coladas.." without ever realizing what they were about! Although they are more subtle than hip-hop.
I also did not remember that Penn and Teller were in the tricky video!
The Choice Is Yours (?)
Me Myself and I
Most of the LL radio songs, no?
I don't think Ya Mama by the Pharcyde gets dirty, but it's funny as hell in an inappropriate manner.
That's pretty much all that jumps out at me, assuming he'd think stuff like Ladies First is lame.

Yeah, that's the thing. I figure a little kid can hear "I am getting so hot, I'm gonna take my clothes off" and not think about Doing It, but there's some pretty specific stuff out there now.
And somehow, I know have Margaritaville stuck in my head. Man, that song was confusing when I didn't know what Margaritas were. Very surreal, with lost shakers of salt...
Skee Lo!
it's really that he needs more exposer to this stuff. I have to get better about putting on music - and I need to make a catchy and clean playlist - cause kanye coming on or fugees dropping f-bombs, that is not on.
oh Sophia. I drove my mother crazy with that song. I LOVED it, and she is a non-drinker in a big way - and I would ask her a million question about it over and over because I could never quite get it.
