Yo okay lemme think, there was this one song i used to sing all the time as a kid that had some pretty mature lyrics lookin back.

It was that "Baby Got Back" song by Sir Mix-a-Lot. We didn't really understand what the lyrics were really talkin about at the time haha, we just liked the beat. But man, if my parents knew we were out there singin about big butts and touching girls in places, they definitely woulda had a talk with us!

Another one was "Pony" by Ginuwine. Again didn't get the double meaning as a little kid, but the grown folks probably woulda choked if they heard me belting out "Do you wanna ride?" hahaha.

And don't even get me started on all the rap songs we'd mimic, talkin about poppin bottles and ridin dirty. No clue what any of it meant back then. Just sounded cool I s'pose.

I'm kinda surprised we never got in trouble singin any of that stuff lookin back. Teachers and parents musta just thought we were bein silly. Had no idea the kinda messages were in a lotta those songs!

Even worse. I taught dance in a school program, and I guess I REALLY was not thinking, but I choreographed a whole dance to 2005's Buttons for these 8-11 year old girls, and like halfway through rehearsals with them singing and dancing, one of the Admin was like, um, do you think this is an appropriate song choice? I had been so into just the beat of the song vs actually listening to the lyrics, that when I really did pay attention, ohhhhh crap!!!!!! LOL

In an effort to spite his firstborn and annoy his grandson (I presume) my great-grandfather taught my siblings the lyrics to "Four for three"- and the lyrics to the more polite (or at least less bawdy) version, "Lilly the Pink", with the instructions that they only sing the latter when our parents or grandparents were around. I was too young to understand at the time, but cheerfully joined in the singing.

Over the hedge film, ‘rockin the suburbs’ Verse 1: Let me tell y'all what it's like Watching Idol on a Friday night In a house built safe and sound On Indian burial grounds Sham on After I was old enough to realize the second to last line in the FIRST verse? I never sang it again lol  later the song mentions something along the lines of mom and dad “juggling bills and credit cards.”  That song with appropriate mention, gives off racist, and chauvinistic undertones. ‘Pumped up kicks’ I didn’t sing again when I learned of the dedication of the song and the meaning behind the lyrics. Sadly, at one point, it did inspired negative talk from younger problematic teens/kids. I’m saying the ones who  faced problems  that they couldn’t cope so much with. A lot of immature kids made jokes about it as well. Since it’s catchy it also gave a negative encouragement for teens and young kids who liked the melody and didn’t or later pieced the song together.  I’m surprised I was able to sing these two, but eventually my mom told me not to for the second and she didn’t catch on about the first, since it’s “remade for kids” and actually placed in a kids movie.

The one that occurs to me is Led Zeppelin's "Lemon Song", released in 1969 when I was 15. My mom was shocked by the lyrics:

Squeeze me, babe, 'till the juice runs down my leg
Do, squeeze, squeeze me, baby, until the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon-a
I'm gonna fall right outta bed, 'ed, 'ed, bed, yeah

It wasn't singable, but she tripped out hearing it blasting through my bedroom door. LOL She didn't say anything but I remember the shocked look on her face.

The girls had all these mondegreens for too many songs to remember. Sneaky of them because it wasn't always as clean as the classic of 'excuse me while I kiss the sky' to 'excuse me while I kiss this guy'. They'd even do it in church.

I can't really think of anything I guess KC and the Sunshine band since all of their songs are basically about sex and making love. But they sing it in a way that it doesn't sound profane at all.

Sexy and I Know It by Redfoo, or Pillowtalk by Zayn. I don't think I need to explain why either of these titles are inappropriate but I screamed those lyrics as a kid 💀
