`Feedback` (CD single) (by Janet Jackson, Pop)
common sense media says
Heavy dance beats over sexy lyrics.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this dance single talks about sex in abstract ways that will probably go over the heads of most kids, but does get a little heavy at times. The "N" word is said once in passing, but you can barely make it out. There is one line equating Jackson's swagger with the intensity of a woman's menstrual period's first day. The song's accompanying futuristic music video is clean and fine for all ages.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
The song is about sex but the clever play on words covers up most explicit references nicely: "Strum me like a guitar blow out my amplifier/When you hear some feedback keep going take it higher/Crank it up give it to me come on/Crank it up give it to me come on/I'm gonna feedback" and "You like it how I work my spine/Got you feeling all hypnotized."
Language:
The one mention of the "N" word is so muffled you can barely hear it.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

Pretty good.
This song has a good beat and rhythym, and the only questionable thing is the lyrics. The lyrics are a bit sexual, so know your kid first.
