Dealing With Racy Summer Song Lyrics
You don't have to look much further than the title of many of this summer's biggest hits to figure out just how racy pop songs can be these days. Songs like Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" and Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" can be enough to send the discomfort level through the roof for parents shuttling little ones to swim team and baseball practice this summer.
So how do you deal with racy song lyrics when you hear them played near your kids? How do you talk about these kinds of songs to your children? Use our comments section to let us know!

It's hard for parents to know and decide what songs to let the kids listen to. My 8 year old loves Pink's new one and I talkedd to her about the meaning of Stupid Girls and Pink's stated philosophies. It isn't simply the lyrics but the manner and personality of the song.

Pink is probably a great influence for girls - but most other artists are awful influences. The pop princess genre is out of control. They can't just be talented - they have to turn desirable into sleazy.
