What Parents Need to Know
About Viva La Cobra
Parents need to know that this MTV band's sound is perky and clean, except for their apparent delight in using the word "s--t" in both expletive and scatological references. Otherwise, these self-described "punk pop" practitioners come across as much more pop than punk, and far less cynical than they imagine.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the Cobra Starship's first big break in the soundtrack to the movie Snakes on a Plane. Can you think of any other groups who got attention when their songs were included in movies? The group's insistence on frequent use of "s--t" seems inconsistent with their bubble-gum sound. Do you think they imagine themselves to be tougher than they appear to others?

- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
iffy
first, i love cobra starship. however, their lyrics are very iffy, and often explicit. in the song "d*** you look good and i'm drunk" guest singers VIP mention "d**k" in a reference to a transvestite. also, there is a song called "prostitution is the world's oldest profession." so, the music is great. lyrics, not so much.

it made me happy
it actually makes ur day happier w/ the perky lyrics and the band members even said that they just want to tell kids to have fun and to stop being all depressed! yes, it has some mature stuff in it, so i suggest 14 and older for it. but really, these guys just make my day :)
