  1. I rate this title off for age 4 and give it 1.0

    Catchy tunes but not for my lil' nuggets ears.

    It's hard not liking the beat but it's not something I like my 11 year old daughter listening to. I tell her that, "that Gaga chick has got some innappropriate stuff in her songs." I now call her "Lady Caca" :)

  2. I rate this title off for age 12 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    very bad. What was lady gaga thinking?!

    very bad and inapropreite song!!

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    Great beats,funny lyrics but very dirty and sexual

    I usually like Lady Gaga's music and i like this song too it's got a good beat and it's funny but the lyrics are very sexual like "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick/don't think too much just bust that stick/got my a-- squeezed by sexy cupid guess he wants to play a love game/hold me love me just wanna touch you for a minute/i'm on a mission and it involves some heavy touching/i'm educacated in sex yes and now i want it bad want it bad i love game/always starts the same with a boy and a girl and a ....... and a game are a bit worrisome but it is good for dancing.But if you think the song is bad you haven't the music video

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    I heard it on 95.5 and the a-word wasn't edited. Her "disco stick" is actually a glow stick that she brings with her for use in live concerts.

    Very Catchy!

    I love this song. Even thought it's rather dirty I find it suitable for my 12 year old. You really have to listen to the song to hear the messag and they only say the a word.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lady Gaga being Lady Gaga

    What more can I say other than the title? Lady Gaga is a dirty singer with dirty lyrics and dirty meanings, which definitely takes her off the good role model category, and then the curses and the sexy talk, it's gross and stupid! Not a fan.

    Very Explicit On Many Levels!

    One expletive used: "it's complicated and stupid/got my a-s squeezed by sexy Cupid". There is also a ton of stuff, like so: "let's have some fun/this beat is sick/i wanna take a ride/on your disco stick". On the good side, it has a very catchy beat!

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages

    unless your kids are still immature to not know that "taking a ride on your disco stick" is no big deal, it's probably nothing they havn't heard before in this day in age. The music video is worse than the song, although really awsome...for me anyway.

  18. I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it 2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    the beat is catchy but lyrics and music video is too over the top

    the whole song is sexist. the only appropriate line is the chorus line "lets play a love game, play a love game, do u want love, or do u want fame." the beat is catchy which brings up a star. i won't feel that comfortable putting it on my ipod. it's too gross. i give it pause for ages 14 and up.

    The song's cool. Just for your everyday teens. But the sexual content is kinda... skyrocketing. The Music Videos are dirty as well. Depends, actually. On how mature your kid is. But to be safe, stay away from it.

  20. I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    It really depends......

    I really like this song, but I think that it really depends on what your kids have been exposed to in the past. If they've led a sheltered life in this sort of thing, then this is not the best song for them...

    I would just avoid this...

    I love Lady Gaga but her songs are too sexually explcit and I don't feel comfortable listening to her songs in public. The videos are too dirty as well!

    Not for young kids

    As usual with Lady Gaga this song is fun but has plenty of innuendo.

    BAD.

    VERY, VERY dirty song. Not appropriate for KIDS what so ever. I dont care if it says 15 or older or anything. No one should have to really think this song through. Very sexual, very dirty, and very wrong. Stay away.
