* Very possible in the ''VideoGame/TheIdolMaster'' franchise. The group of {{Idol Singer}}s the player manages in the mainline games includes college aged girls all the way down to 12 year olds, and some of the songs available to sing are definitely not suitable for the latter. Most infamous is the song "Agent Yoru o Yuku", which is about a male prostitute. Also inverted since you can also make the adult idols sing very childish songs like "Visionary". The mobile spinoff games have even younger and older idols, but only have one recording per song (with a few exceptions) so you can't actually hear idols sing songs that weren't written for them. However, you can still evoke as idols instead dance and lipsync to songs that aren't theirs. Therefore, in for instance, [[VideoGame/TheIdolmasterSideM SideM]] you can have the oldest idol in the entire franchise, 32 year old Michio Hazama, lipsync to kiddie songs meant for 9 year Kanon Himeno.

The group of {{Idol Singer}}s the player manages in the mainline games includes college aged girls all the way down to 12 year olds (idols in the spinoffs range from 9 at the youngest to 32 at the oldest, but you can't customize who sings what songs in those games), and some of the songs available to sing are definitely not suitable for the latter.

* The page quote is from the Deviantart fanfiction "The Sad Little Girl", where Lisa provides constructive criticism commentary for a creative writing assignment of Lucy's. Lucy, with her taste for the grimmer things in life--and in death--writes a story where a girl who [[AmbiguousSituation may]] be an AuthorAvatar casts dark spells on her bullies, turning their blood to molasses that clogs up and blows up their hearts, their guts to snakes who eat their bodies, and their bones to glass that shatters and kills them. Keep in mind, this is a writing assignment for second or third grade.

** The Chipettes (who [[VagueAge don't seem]] older than middle schoolers, but might even be as young as eight in ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'') are prone to this in combination with AgeInappropriateDress. They're also prone to doing somewhat risque dance moves. This was toned down heavily starting with the [[Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks CGI films]]. The most infamous song The Chipettes have sung is "Get Lucky" from ''WesternAnimation/TheChipmunkAdventure''. It's most likely about [[HaveAGayOldTime going on a date]], but the fact they sing it to a bunch of (phallic) snakes in BellyDancer clothing doesn't help the IntercourseWithYou implications. Another example was when they sang "Proud Mary"; their attire wasn't too inappropriate but their dancing was.

* A lot of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' characters and sketches have had this over the decades it's been on the air. The third episode Creator/ScarlettJohansson hosted featured a sketch about up-and-coming child actresses (played by Johansson and feature player Vanessa Bayer) performing monologues and famous scenes from movies that aren't for children, such as ''Film/BrokebackMountain'', ''Film/TheColorPurple'', ''Film/AFewGoodMen'', and ''Film/OnTheWaterfront''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' RuleSixtyThree fanfic ''Fanfic/OneGirlWithTenBrothers'', the six-year-old Lexx auditions for the Royal Woods Community Theater's Talent Night by tap-dancing and singing "Turn It Off" from ''[[Theatre/TheBookOfMormon All About Mormons!]]'' during Chapter 19. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome They turn him down]].

* Similarly to Serge Gainsbourg above, Music/{{Eminem}} also put his daughter on some of his songs, including having her (as a toddler) babble happily in a song about disposing of the corpse of her mother, and having her cheer on his lyrical chainsaw and chastise him for swearing on the obscene VulgarHumor song "My Dad's Gone Crazy". In 2003, he had her [[DissTrack diss]] Music/JaRule, which caused her mother, who he'd been getting back together with at the time, to leave him due to him irresponsibly using his child in a beef with a GangstaRapper who had shooters. In his book ''The Way I Am'', Eminem showed a lyric sheet of an unrecorded song in which he was going to have his daughter yell "kiss my ass!" at her dad's haters, which he felt had been "a bad idea".

* Through ''Film/FistFight'' teacher Campbell's daughter Ally is looking forward to his help in her talent show performance. It's a song and dance routine set to an uncensored "I Don't Fuck with You" by Big Sean, directed at Ally's bully Trisha.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* One local music festival had a 14-year-old girl singing "When You're Good to Momma" from ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''.
* Music/CourtneyLove auditioned for the Mouseketeers when she was young. The issue was that she was reciting a Creator/SylviaPlath poem for her audition.
* The unsolved murder of Jon-Benet Ramsey put a harsh spotlight on the world of "Little Miss" pageants (see TLC's ''Series/ToddlersAndTiaras'') and the sexual undertones of putting preschool-age girls into costumes, hairstyles and makeup mimicking those of glitzy, often raunchy, grown-up stage performers.
* Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has said that hearing his young daughter singing their song A.D.I.D.A.S. (All Day I Dream About Sex) was one of the things that led to him leaving the band.
* A Russian children's choir singing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzF-JEZ1RMo "Mutter"]] by Music/{{Rammstein}} becomes a dissonant experience if you know [[http://affenknecht.com/lyrics/rammstein-mutter-lyric-with-english-translation the lyrics]] to the song.

* On one episode of ''Series/BlackIsh'', Jack sings the uncensored version of "Gold Digger" for a school talent show. This leads to a discussion on NWordPrivileges.

* The Music/{{Sia}} music videos to "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" have run into controversy due to this trope. The dancing by itself isn't inappropriate (it's just interpretive dance), but the fact the dancer is doing it in skin-colored clothes is what caused people to think twice. The "Elastic Heart" video has it worst because it contains the girl in a cage with Shia [=LeBeouf=], who is shirtless and also wearing skin-colored shorts. It doesn't help the video is incredibly vague on what it's about. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Some interpret it]] as being about a daughter dealing with an addicted or depressed father, while others think it's about a single dad whose daughter is entering adolescence, but those are just unofficial interpretations.

->''Good LORD. On one hand, I must commend you for the creativity behind these death sequences. You've got quite the imagination. On the other hand, this is an elementary school assignment, is it not? I've never met your teacher, but I can't imagine her responding positively to something so... gruesome. At the very least, it'll earn you a direct ticket to the school guidance counselor.''

* One local music festival had a 14-year-old girl singing "When You're Good to Momma" from ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''. ''Not'' okay.

* Music/SergeGainsbourg sailed very close to the wind, even for laissez-faire 1980's France, with "Lemon Incest", a duet with his then twelve year old daughter [[Creator/CharlotteGainsbourg Charlotte]]. The video features the pair in close proximity on a large bed, with Serge [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] and Charlotte in just a [[ShesGotLegs short sleeved shirt and underwear]]. At one point Charlotte performs a LegCling on her father. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vR0jpfOW94 entire video]] just gives off extreme feelings of {{Squick}} and if anything the lyrics are even squickier, featuring lines such as "I love you more than anything, Daddy" and "Love that we will never do together, is the most beautiful."

* Very possible in the ''VideoGame/TheIdolMaster'' franchise. The group of {{Idol Singer}}s the player manages includes girls from around 17 years old all the way down to 11 year olds, and some of the songs available to sing are definitely not suitable for the latter. Most infamous is the song "Agent Yoru o Yuku", which is about a male prostitute.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' fan fiction "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5528968/1/The_9th_Grade_Blues The 9th Grade Blues]]", Emily tries this and fails horribly. A few of the other kids, on the other hand...

* ''Series/Tosh0'' came up with a novel way to get around [[MoralGuardians Standards and Practices]] and still show [[ShockSite Famous Awful]] Internet Porn Clips: [[http://tosh.comedycentral.com/video-clips/porn-reenactments Disturbingly adorable reenactments with kids]].

* The video for Music/AlisonGold's "Shush Up" generated controversy due to how the then eleven year old singer was depicted in it. Gold was shown wearing full makeup and two skimpy metallic outfits consisting of crop tops and hot pants as well as platform boots with one. Gold also appears alongside male and female FanService dancers, is seen performing borderline inappropriate dance moves and there is a sequence implying her suicide by jumping from a building. Not to mention taking part in a jewel store robbery, being arrested at gun point and finally being executed in an electric chair. The entire train wreck can be seen [[https://vimeo.com/87515710 here]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Clarissa}}'': Clarissa's teacher finds a drawing of [[http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/COMIX/Family/PAGE1.html a wolf attacking a chipmunk]]. [[spoiler: It's Clarissa's way of expressing that her dad violently rapes her every night, and then the rest of her pictures become fearsome.]]

!!Works with their own pages:

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' episode, "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E12PottyMouthLIsForLove Potty Mouth]]", it is revealed that Lisa likes rapping and dancing to songs not suitable for four-year-old children, and because she and her infant sister, Lily share a room, Lisa worries she might have been a bad influence on her. She attempts to be a good influence on her by rapping a [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Blarney the Dinosaur]] song.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDNirjgjn5w One of the sketches from]] ''Series/TheWhitestKidsUKnow'' had a young kid by the name of Kevin showing his parents a simplistic but... rather phallic picture that he named Saggy Sammy. The parents are horrified, until he innocently clarifies that it's an elephant, to which they then see what he intended. After much debate, they let him post it on the refrigerator door for a party as long as he writes the word "ELEPHANT" on top of the paper. He then shows his parents a picture he made of a "Fairy Castle"...which is unmistakably a picture of a woman pleasuring herself, to which the parents angrily send him to his room for.

** In one episode Michael and his niece Maeby are doing karaoke together and pick the first song on the playlist to sing. Unfortunately it is "Afternoon Delight", which has very suggestive lyrics, especially given Maebe's age, something Michael to his horror realizes just a bit too late. Latter, Michael's sister Lindsay and his son George Michael also sing the song together (they are interrupted before either of them can come to the same realization as Michael though).

** Several of the girls do a flirtatious dance to "Jingle Bell Rock"... at their high school talent contest. Cady's parents are quite weirded out, while Regina's mother starts dancing in the audience.
