  • Sex:

    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?

  1. Teen Reviewer Age 13
    I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give it 5.0
    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.

  2. Teen Reviewer Age 13
    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative role models

  3. I rate this title off for age 7 and give it 2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative role models

    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.

  5. 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" :)
