I’m just sitting here late at night getting my taxes ready for the accountants tomorrow.....minding my own business.....having a cup of tea.....feeling grumpy for sending too much money to Uncle Sam...
When I come across the CD title that weenie boy was playing in his car when he drove DD and a friend to a ski park a few weeks ago.
So.....this is sort of an unusual title to a song.....and taxes are pretty boring..... so I decide to enter this song into a lyrics search.

gee.....I don’t even know where to begin..
The moron who wrote this apparently is considered an “artist.”
The idiots who played this apparently are considered “musicians.”
Weenie boy really knows how to sweep a girl off her feet with this stuff.
How romantic...

I am so livid right now I must stop typing.

That's pretty much the most disgusting song lyrics I've ever had the misfortune of reading. And weenie boy admires this artist because? What a putz! I wonder if he's really listened to or read the lyrics. We work in the music business and I thought I've seen everything but this truly should be banned. It's a version of audio pornography. Again, absolutely disgusting, and I'm speechless at this point.

Did you break the CD in half???

Tell daughter that you do not like weenie boy and she can't see him, period.

With lyrics like that (pukingly gross!!) ask her if she knows what the song entails, maybe she only listened for the beat.

I truly dont' know what to say, Thank goodness that my DD listens to top 40.

I am SO with you on this one daddio. We have the same situation with our dd and her bf of 9 months. He listens to music like this and even downloads it onto our computer for the two of them to burn onto a cd. Then it gets left in the music library on the computer. NICE. Dh and I delete things like this and usually mention the lyrics and total lack of respect these songs portray. But, she sure gets tired of us saying the same thing. The bf has gotten alot better over the past several months, I like to think it is because he is here most of the time. If something sounds disrespectful, I will say something about it; usually I say "I heard that and dodn't like it" or something similar. I don't know... we tried to break the two up back in the beginning of their relationship, but they seem to just love each other and understand one another. Their relationship isn't bad... just needs a little refining, I think. Sometimes I feel like some of these misdirected kids are sent into our lives to learn something. At least that is the approach I have been taking with a couple of kids. If they are uncomfortable with my opinions, they'll leave. So far that hasn't happened. Sure is hard to have a child going out with someone you don't approve of, but trying to break them up often ends up making them hold on tighter. Good luck... I hope some day your daughter will see your point and realize you care enough to stand up for her. Hope mine does too! Wish my husband would try to protect her and show he cares, but his controlling approach (and lack of compassion) just doesn't work.

Dropped the atom bomb on DD this AM before school.
Showed her the printed lyrics and asked if he enjoys this type of music and if this reflects his attitude toward women.
Also wanted to know why, since this music appears to be geared toward stupid teen males with an attitude, she would listen to such hateful trash that abases women so disgustingly.
I expected her response: It's not a big deal. I don't take it seriously. It's got a good beat. Some of the lyrics are funny....
I got out a piece of paper and drew a swastika and told her I think I'll decorate our exterior brick work with this. She looks confused. "That's horrible! What are you doing?"
I said Oh.. I don't care anything about the meaning. I just think the design is cool...
Get it??
Silence on her part...

This is the way I try to feel about my DD's b/f. He actually told one of his friends one time that he'd probably be dead if it weren't for my rules. I was totally shocked. We were at one of DD's softball games and he was standing about five feet from me and his buddy was bragging about drunk he got the night before and how the b/f should have been there. B/f jokingly said that s***t'll kill you. He then nodded in my direction and said if it were for mom's rules, I'd probably be dead by now. Not sure if he was being sarcastic or not but I prefer to take it in a positive way.

He still drinks more than I approve of but he no longer gets totally plastered every single non-school night. DH and I have made it very clear that DD is not to be a part of the party crowd.

Oh yeah - daddioe, I would be livid too. DD, weenie boy and I would have a talk. I probably would have printed the lyrics out passed them out during the talk. Weenie boy and DD would know that I do not approve of nor do I want this in my home or anywhere near DD. I'm not saying that this is probably the right way to handle it but that's probably what I would have done.

Giving it some thought now, I think it would be better to print out the lyrics and have DD read them in my presence. Hand her the CD and talk to her a little about self-respect.

Good Luck!

Daddio,

I couldn't even read the "lyrics" the whole way through -- I had enough about 1/2 way through. That is positively disgusting! There are record labels that actually promote this stuff? Egad. I am speechless.

I like your analogy with the swastika; sounds like you made your point.

Good luck, I don't even know what to say about this one. Yuk.
