An attempt to say "Sparkling Wiggles" proves disastrous:

It actually raises a dilemma regarding children and music. There are a lot of good bands that have clean lyrics, except for one or two songs. I hear foul language regularly at work and I'm not too shy about using it either. So a swear word in a song doesn't particularly bother me, but I don't want my kids listening to it. I guess I'm at that stage in life when I need to set an example. No fun.

Tell me about t...I put an unknown CD in the player to see what was on it with my daughter in the car and it was an unedited version of Ol Dirty Bastard's "Baby I Gotcha Money." Before I could get it stopped ODB talked about how if he and a woman had intercourse one time it would ruin her for everyone else because "her coochie wouldn't get moist."

That was not an explanation I really wanted to provide right then, so I hemmed and hawed and obfuscated and deflected and then I wrote the title on the CD.

Why i cannot see the point of urging kids to utter some words which most likely you will not want them to drop when grown up
