"Cruella de Vil" (CD single) (by Selena Gomez, Pop)
common sense media says
Rockin' remake of classic Disney tune.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that your tween will be into this star of Wizards of Waverly Place because she's in heavy rotation on Radio Disney. This single is a remake of the classic tune from 101 Dalmatians, and talks about how scary Cruella De Vil is.
Violence:
Some scary lyrics for kids ("All innocent children better beware/she likes a spider waiting for a kill/If she doesn't scare you/no evil thing will"), but if they can sit through the movie, they'll be fine listening to the song.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Obvious tie-in to Disney, 101 Dalmatians, and Wizards of Waverly Place.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

No. Just No.
The original version of the song is WAY better than the Selena Gomez version. The song "Cruella de Vil" was not meant to be some kind of pop song. Selena Gomez is a mediocre singer. Do not listen to this.

Really for anyone
I think it is perfectlly fine and anyone over 4 should be fine. Maybe some young kids might be afraid of how the song describes Cruella De Vil but if your kid isn't afraid of much or just not afraid of the movie then it is fine. Selena Gomez is a good role model from what I have read in the media and on websites so it really is up to you to let your kid or younger sibling listen to the song but for other songs by Selena I would wait until they get to be six or over just because mention crushes and six is normally when girls get close to having crushes or have crushes.

She's got talent, I don't want to throw her down...
Its okay, she made it sound good, but I'll stick with the older version, the one that wasn't tweenilized.

Ehh...
Well...the song is okay, I guess. And thankfully this song was before Selena Gomez's voice got really really fake. It just sounds weird in this song. But overall, it's alright. Better than her newest songs, I must say.
