* The song "Sexy and I Know It" is being used in ads for both [=M&Ms=] candy and ''{{Madagascar}} 3: Europe's Most Wanted''. First of all, the band is called {{LMFAO}}, which stands for "Laugh My Fucking Ass Off". Second, a majority of their songs involve having sex with ladies, and have a ridiculous amount of swearing, drinking, and party rocking (and the less said about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE&list=UUk78ZcA6kflEvBR0UrGDH0Q&index=4&feature=plcp its video]], which doesn't a have a parental warning on YouTube [[FanDisservice for nothing]] - the better)

* There's a general assumption that any classical music must be educational and clean, especially if it's in a foreign language. Go and find a translation of CarminaBurana, and then see if you think it's a good choice for a youth choir. And just about any opera ever written.

* "What shall we do with the drunken sailor" seems to have become quite a popular song for children (this troper sang it in school age ten). As the title implies, it's about drunkenness and a few quite horrific ways a 19th century Navy might have dealt with it. And if you misunderstand the line about the Captain's daughter, you might even think there's some sexual innuendo. Although it's anyone's choice if they prefer to tell their child about sex or about the cat-o'-nine-tails...

* MilkRocks was a company who advertised on milk cartons, targeting children in grades K-12. They had contests, many relating to music with mostly child friendly artists. However, some contests seemed very innapropiate.
** The InTheHeights contest was the tamest example. In the musical, there is some swearing, and young kids may not understand the plot of the show.
** They also had a Maroon5 contest. Yes, the band that has a few IntercourseWithYou songs as well as this GettingCrapPastTheRadar gem from the song "This Love":
---> I tried my best to feed her appetite/Keep her comin' every night/So hard to keep her satisfied.

* ShelSilverstein's ''other'' career - when he wasn't writing children's stories or articles for Playboy, he was writing songs. Fortunately, songs tend to be remembered as being by their performers, not their writers, but he's the man who wrote "A Boy Named Sue" (bad language, violence), "The Mermai" (*ahem* inappropriate subject for children), and "You're Always Welcome at Our House" (depicting the murders of various visitors to the house by the children).

* Madonna attracted a HUGE fanbase of young girls when she first became popular in the 1980s and many young girls would try very hard to ape her look, from the hair full of messy ringlets to the lace fingerless gloves. And while a lot of her earlier singles (e.g. "Lucky Star" and "Material Girl") were rather harmless, sugary sweet pop fluff, her image was very sexualized and some of her other songs (e.g. "Burnin' Up" and "Like a Virgin") were rather erotic in nature (for the times, at least).

* Two words: Music/HilaryDuff. Some people assumed she was a children's musician because she was on {{Disney}}. Many little kids liked her and [[InnocentInaccurate didn't know what she's talking about]]. Not to mention she had a squeaky-clean image-no tattoos or piercings, for starters. But have parents (or the kids) bothered looking at the lyrics to her songs?
** Little Voice (When I see you I admit/ I start to lose my grip and all of my cool...all I really want is you/ But there are some things a girl won't do)
** Metamorphosis (Come on and give me a kiss/ Come on, I insist)
** Party Up (You roll me, you use me, you love me and then/ You wrap me up and reel me in and use me again)
* Music/MirandaCosgrove. Same problems as Hilary (Although she's with {{Nickelodeon}}, not {{Disney}}). In fact, some of her songs reek of this.
** What Are You Waiting For (Here I am, Take a chance/What are you waiting for/I'm telling you, As a friend/We could be so much more)[[hottip:*:This song hints of the theme of TheirFirstTime.]]
** Sayonara (Party, hands all over my body/Working out like karate/Tell me boy can we kick it now/Can you hold me down)[[hottip:*: The song's theme is IntercoursewithYou. 'nuff said.]]
* Music/DemiLovato, At least in the R&B parts of her current album, ''Unbroken''. Two songs in the album invoke this:
** All Night Long (Don't make plans/Come on with me, we stay up all night long/I want you in, I want you bad/Let's keep the party going all night long)
** Who's That Boy (Ain't no body know your name/But looking like you do could be fame/I could see us making ways/From the back of the club/To a bed in the shade)
* Music/TaylorSwift can, at times, suffer from the same problems as Duff, Cosgrove and Lovato,[[hottip:*: She's not with Disney or Nickelodeon, although she's commonly associated with the former (she's frequently played on Radio Disney and appeared on an episode of ''Take Two With PhineasAndFerb'').]] what with such lyrics as "That's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay" (Picture to Burn), "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress" (Better Than Revenge) and "You touch me once and it's really something. You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be" (Sparks Fly). Moreover, "Teardrops On My Guitar" and "Cold As You" both make use of "damn" (pretty mild, but still), while "The Way I Loved You" delivers a rather FamilyUnfriendlyAesop and "Fifteen" hints at a friend's virginity loss.
* And also AshleyTisdale, with the song ''He Said She Said'' following basically the same premise as Demi's ''Who's That Boy''.
* The Music/SpiceGirls. The song "Two Become One" [[IntercourseWithYou is about sex pure and simple]] with the chorus going "I wanna make love to you baby". Imagine a slumber party of 6-10 year old girls dancing around and singing those lyrics. Then there's "Holler" which contains lyrics about "fantasy rooms" and "start from the bottom and work your way up slowly". Then of course if you take the basic premise of five girls in {{Stripperiffic}} outfits posing provocatively, you may be alarmed at the fact that little girls looked up to them.

* The North American folk song, "The Big Rock Candy Mountain," describes a fictional hobos paradise, and is now considered a children's classic. However, the version most children are taught uses the lyrics popularized by Burl Ives, which strip the references to liquor and cigarettes (and lines like "Where they hung the jerk/That invented work"). Furthermore, Harry [=McClintock=], who recorded and wrote the song, claimed in interviews the song contained missing lyrics describing a more sinister frame story: the "Big Rock Candy Mountain" was a fairy tale used to lure children into the hobo's life, possibly for sexual purposes. The song was originally a warning for children. It is very similar to (and most likely descended from) the English folk song, "The Appleknocker's Lament," a song that explicitly warns of child rape.

* The children's movie ''The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure'' ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'' uses NickiMinaj's "Starships" in the trailers.

* The song "Sexy and I Know It" is being used in ads for both [=M&Ms=] candy and ''{{Madagascar}} 3: Europe's Most Wanted'', a ''kids'' movie. First of all, the band is called {{LMFAO}}, which stands for "Laugh My F**king A** Off". Second, they're getting popular with 9 to 11-year-olds, even though all of their songs involve having sex with ladies (often [[MaleGaze staring at their boobs]]), swearing like [[ClusterFBomb the F bomb is a preschool word]], and a ridiculous amount of party rocking (and the less said about "Sexy and I Know It" itself - particularly [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE&list=UUk78ZcA6kflEvBR0UrGDH0Q&index=4&feature=plcp its video]], which doesn't a have a parental warning on Youtube [[FanDisservice for nothing]] - the better)

** Music/{{Voltaire}} eventually did release a children's album.



* Music/{{Gorillaz}}. "They're an animated band, [[AnimationAgeGhetto they are cartoons, they must be for kids!]]". Yet their songs are about drugs, kidnapping, satanism, rape, murder ...
** Which songs have been about that?! Though drugs have been mentioned in the music (which I agree, isn't child friendly- especially Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's head, which ironically is told like a kid's story), kidnapping, satanism and one occasion of murder have only been present in the ''storyline''. And unless you count fanon theories of [[DudeShesLikeInAComa what Murdoc might have done to 2D during his coma]] or on Plastic Beach, there are no accounts of rape at all.

The animated band with the music (which I agree, isn't child friendly- especially Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's head, which ironically is told like a kid's story), kidnapping, satanism satanic bassist, the mostly string out lead singer who has apparently fathered countless illegitimate children, the demonically possessed drummer and one occasion of murder have only been present in the ''storyline''.

* Arguably, Music/ReelBigFish's 2007 album ''Monkeys For Nothing and the Chimps For Free'' may be in the same category, as it's first song is lighthearted tribute to losers who can't find a crowd to party with, and it has a [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Rbf-monkeyschimps.jpg rather cartoony cover]]. [[ClusterFBomb Then the second track starts...]]

Added DiffLines:

* FallOutBoy has always attracted a fair amount of teenagers and the older crowd due to their innuendo laced lyrics. That didn't stop KidzBop for wanting to put Dance, Dance on one of their albums. [[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1533265/fall-out-boy-take-on-kidz-bop.jhtml The band and their manager weren't pleased]], especially since KidzBop technically didn't need their permission to use it. KidzBop eventually dumped the track from the list. Later on, [[DoubleEntendre Sugar, We're Goin' Down]] got away with being used for the trailers of the Tim Allen movie, Zoom.

Added DiffLines:

* There were these toothbrushes that played music when used. One of them played [[Music/{{KISS}} Detroit Rock City]] when used, and the song was also in the ads. [[SarcasmMode Because a song about a guy going way over the speed limit while listening to KISS and going to a KISS Concert and getting into a head-on collision with a large truck and DYING is for kids!]]. Did we mention it's a true story and one of the lyrics is either "I know I'm gonna die, why?" or "I know I'm gonna die, and I don't care!" depending on the version?
* As with the original book, ''JeffWaynesMusicalVersionOfTheWarOfTheWorlds'', even if it goes into slightly less graphical detail.
* Music/TheyMightBeGiants try as hard as they can to avoid this by splitting their tours in two to cater to their two distinct fanbases (their original alternative rock fans and their new children's music fanbase). The "adult shows" (the one where they play their non-children's material and back catalog) have a 18 (or 21 in some places) cover for when someone tries to bring their kid into an adult TMBG concert expecting to hear music from their children's albums.
* Originally, Music/GreenDay's CD ''Dookie'' had an Ernie (from ''Series/SesameStreet'') puppet in the mosh pit. Just for starters, track 14 is called F.O.D. (Fuck Off and Die.)
** There is a ''KidzBop'' version of "[[http://www.kidzbop.com/video/1228572/webshows/music/Boulevard-of-broken-dreams-green-day.html Boulevard of Broken Dreams.]]" The title alone should have given them an inkling that this wasn't the sort of fun, upbeat material that belongs on a ''KidzBop'' CD, but the lyrics make it abundantly clear.
* The North American folk song, "TheBigRockCandyMountain," describes a fictional hobos paradise, and is now considered a children's classic. However, the version most children are taught uses the lyrics popularized by Burl Ives, which strip the references to liquor and cigarettes (and lines like "Where they hung the jerk/That invented work"). Furthermore, Harry [=McClintock=], who recorded and wrote the song, claimed in interviews the song contained missing lyrics describing a more sinister frame story: the "Big Rock Candy Mountain" was a fairy tale used to lure children into the hobo's life, possibly for sexual purposes. The song was originally a warning for children. It is very similar to (and most likely descended from) the English folk song, "The Appleknocker's Lament," a song that explicitly warns of child rape.
* In the late 90s/early 2000s, Music/{{Aerosmith}} somehow became seen as a "family friendly" band due to stuff like the Rock'n'Rollercoaster at the Disney Hollywood Studios theme park, their appearances on the Kids Choice Awards, and even a song on the ''RugratsGoWild'' soundtrack. Of course, nobody ever thought to scan the lyrics of their albums, which are full of explicit sex (as well as isolated songs about violence and drug abuse).
** Heck, this is the group that had a song ''titled'' "[[ElevatorGoingDown Love In An Elevator]]"...
*** A song that has the immortal line "Living it up when I'm going down"
*** And it's featured in said roller coaster (though retitled "Love in a Roller Coaster"). As well as other IntercourseWithYou songs, such as "Young Lust" and "F.I.N.E.[[hottip:*:"[[FunWithAcronyms Fucked Up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional"]]
** That one of their members did the music for one ''SonicTheHedgehog'' game couldn't have helped.
* "[[Music/{{Voltaire}} BRAINS!]]" is a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i7tqWMbUFU fun song]] from a [[TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy children's show.]] Songs such as "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Seh8cNirlU8 Cantina]]"... [[NotSafeForWork aren't]].
* According to an interview in the late 1990s, Music/LilKim was appalled at how some of her fans were proudly playing her songs for their young children. Lil' Kim was well-known for her sexually-explicit lyrics, extolling the virtues of oral sex (giving and receiving) among other topics. [[WordOfGod She specifically said]], "My music is NOT for kids."
* Music/{{Gorillaz}}. "They're an animated band, [[AnimationAgeGhetto they are cartoons, they must be for kids!]]". Yet their songs are about drugs, kidnapping, satanism, rape, murder ...
** Which songs have been about that?! Though drugs have been mentioned in the music (which I agree, isn't child friendly- especially Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's head, which ironically is told like a kid's story), kidnapping, satanism and one occasion of murder have only been present in the ''storyline''. And unless you count fanon theories of [[DudeShesLikeInAComa what Murdoc might have done to 2D during his coma]] or on Plastic Beach, there are no accounts of rape at all.
* When filk-rapper Luke Ski appeared at a Harry Potter new-release celebration, he was asked to perform each of his songs with Potter references. Evidently the event's organizers hadn't listened to the rest of these songs, as Luke had to improvise alternative lyrics on the fly to avoid exposing grade-school kids to lines about Jay and Silent Bob smoking pot.
* Because of its [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ca/Eels-Daisies_Of_The_Galaxy.JPG childlike cover art]] and song "It's a Motherfucker," {{Eels}}' 2000 album, ''Daisies of the Galaxy'', upset George W. Bush to the point that he tried to get the album banned because it was peddling obscenities to children.
* A CD kids' music had once included "Rap das Armas". This is a song that has a chorus that sounds like a machine gun, among other things.
** Gets even worse if you understand Portuguese, as it basically an ode to the drugdealer lifestyle [[hottip:* :[[CoveredUp the cover that became popular]], that is; the original was a ProtestSong]]. And knowing it was used in [[TheEliteSquad one of the most violent Brazilian movies of the 2000s]].
** Talking about ''TheEliteSquad'', [[SerialEscalation it doesn't stop there]], see [[http://tvuol.uol.com.br/permalink/?view/id=turma-da-monica-em-tlopa-de-elite-0402CD183572DCC11326/mediaId=11879507/date=2011-07-28&&list/type=tags/tags=1092/edFilter=editorial/ this link]] (in Portuguese) where Captain Nascimento stars the video with [[MonicasGang Monica and Jimmy Five]][[hottip:*:Granted that the comics enjoy a relevant PeripheryDemographic in Brazil, but still...]].
* Arguably, Music/ReelBigFish's 2007 album ''Monkeys For Nothing and the Chimps For Free'' may be in the same category, as it's first song is lighthearted tribute to losers who can't find a crowd to party with, and it has a [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Rbf-monkeyschimps.jpg rather cartoony cover]]. [[ClusterFBomb Then the second track starts...]]
* ShelSilverstein's ''other'' career - when he wasn't writing children's stories or articles for Playboy, he was writing songs. Fortunately, songs tend to be remembered as being by their performers, not their writers, but he's the man who wrote "A Boy Named Sue" (bad language, violence), "The Mermai" (*ahem* inappropriate subject for children), and "You're Always Welcome at Our House" (depicting the murders of various visitors to the house by the children).
** ''TheMuppetShow'' actually [[http://youtu.be/DZ-EJNz2AoE used that one for a sketch]] in the Marisa Berenson episode, cheerfully playing up the Roald Dahl-like comedy.
* EmilieAutumn's "Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches" might ''sound'' like it's a [[LyricalDissonance cheerful kid's song]], but if you actually listen to the lyrics, you'll discover that it's... [[IronicNurseryTune not.]]. In fact, it's about insane asylums, female circumcision and rape.
* "House of Fun" by Madness sounds like a cheerful and bouncy song about balloons, birthday parties and having fun. On a closer listen to the lyrics however, it's actually about a teenager trying to buy condoms on his 16th birthday (the legal age for sex in Britain.) This goes [[MisaimedFandom over the heads]] of people who play the song at children's parties and even on children's TV.
* Music/{{Eminem}}'s been criticized over and over for his vulgarity in music, and how it reaches to children, but the fact of the matter is no matter how colorful and cheerful his voice may sound (although not so much anymore) his songs ARE NOT for them. He even talks about it in his songs.
* For some reason, "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha was used in commercials for several children's movies when it first came out.
* "''I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world...''" "''You can brush my hair, undress me anywhere...''" What do you mean the lyrics are sexual? It's about {{Barbie}}! It's kid friendly!
* The song "Sexy and I Know It" is being used in ads for both [=M&Ms=] candy and ''{{Madagascar}} 3: Europe's Most Wanted'', a ''kids'' movie. First of all, the band is called {LMFAO}}, which stands for "Laugh My F**king A** Off". Second, they're getting popular with 9 to 11-year-olds, even though all of their songs involve having sex with ladies (often [[MaleGaze staring at their boobs]]), swearing like [[ClusterFBomb the F bomb is a preschool word]], and drinking beer to your death. (and the less said about "Sexy and I Know It" itself - particularly [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE&list=UUk78ZcA6kflEvBR0UrGDH0Q&index=4&feature=plcp its video]], which doesn't a have a parental warning on Youtube [[FanDisservice for nothing]] - the better)
* KatyPerry's appeal to young children (due to the fact she's basically pop music's Candy Queen) is arguably what makes up the bulk of her popularity. However, not only is there the [[{{Stripperiffic}} sexually suggestive outfits]], in her music there's also the [[ClusterFBomb swearing]], the sexual themes and the harshly worded [[TakeThat take-thats]].
