    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages

    If you want the kids to listen [which I would reccommend] make sure it's the clean version!

    Ok, this song has bite! [yay!] And it also delivers a positive message. I would like kids to listen to this song because of the message, but just not the original version. The clean version is fantastic because of the message. It's catchy and phenomonal. Just GOT to get it clean.

    Aubrey Graham...Degrassi!

    This song is great. Woo hoo! Another Degrassi star goes music! But I've heard it and the language is SO inappropriate for kids my age and below and the sexual content is WAY out of line. The video has lots of sexual content, too.
