    Lots of barely subtle and outright overt references to sex: "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick … / I'm on a mission and it involves some heavy touching … / I'm educated in sex … / I can see you staring there from across the block, with a smile on your mouth and your hand on your -- huh!"

What Parents Need to Know

About "LoveGame" (CD single)

Parents need to know that though Lady GaGa often stops short of using extremely foul language in her lyrics, she typically runs right up to the line with her sexual euphemisms -- and this song is no exception.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the conflicting messages that young people often hear surrounding casual vs. serious romantic relationships. Should teens always be encouraged to avoid serious romances simply because they're young? Is it OK for young adults to date multiple people at the same time?

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    Horrid song

    I hate this song even though I've only heard it 2 or 3 times (only because It plays on the radio all the time). I think it's extremely inappropriate if you listen to it. Really gross and stupid.

  2. Kid Reviewer Age 11
    I rate this title off for age 10 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    Perfect for teens, but not for kids.

    This is DEFINITLY NOT for kids less than 11 years old because there is a lot of stuff she says that is extremely inappropriate.

  3. Teen Reviewer Age 16
    I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative role models

    Catchy song but inappropriate for young kids.

    This song is catchy however it is inappropriate for children under 11. Only teens should be allowed to listen to it. Otherwise it could give younger kids the wrong message.

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    The song is about sex, I love the song anyway and don't really care, but it is quite inapropriate for 11 year olds to be listening to.
