Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Very minor innuendo that young kids won't even pick up on: "That streak of grease runnin' cross her cheek flips my bucket seat."
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Lots of car brand names in one song: Pontiac, Cadillac, Corvette, Mustang, Ferrari, Bentley, etc.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
