What Parents Need to Know
About I Told You I Was Freaky
Parents need to know that although this album's humor is good-natured and mainly self-effacing, the language and sexual themes make the songs only appropriate for older audiences. The album covers adult themes like prostitution, the male anatomy, and cannibalism. Even though the songs are silly, they're not anything you'd want the kids repeating.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about humor and why sex, body parts and gross topics are popular subjects for comedians. Do you understand when a performer is using sarcasm to be funny? Do you know when not to take a performer seriously or is it hard sometimes to figure out what's a joke and what's sincere?
- Several of the songs on this album sexualize men and their bodies in a humorous way. Are men seen as sex objects as frequently as women? Do you think boys and men feel pressure to have good looks and an attractive body?
- Families can talk about responsible behavior with their teens. Does the media sometimes promote risky sexual behavior or promiscuity?
