Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–17

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The single is a sexually-charged celebration of sexy women.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    The song is about watching go-go dancers perform and grind on a stripper's pole. Many listeners might construe the lyrics to be an homage to oral sex, a lyrical wink to be sure. Either way it's fairly risque. "From the top of the pole I watch her go down, she got me throwin' my money around."

  • Language:

    Ass is mentioned once.

  • Consumerism:

    Flo Rida wants everyone to know how rich he is, so he talks a lot about jewelry and spending money. "My Benjamin Franklin, a couple of grands, I got rubber bands."

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    There is only a brief reference to drinking alcohol at "the club."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About "Right Round" (CD single)

Parents need to know even if this song is upbeat and fun, it's still a song about strippers and one man's desires as he ogles them. The women are shown as wanting the narrator's money and the sex/money dynamic is firmly in place here.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how music from the 1980s is enjoying a revival of sorts in recent years. Do you think old music usually becomes new again to future generations? What music from today do you think will be popular again in ten or 20 years? How do you think a good sample helps a rap single?

    O.K. for tweens

    I like the CLEAN version of this song and of this song I only like the chorus. The only way you could hear the really bad stuff is by using a slo-motion music device and then listen.

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    Catchy and groovy, but the lyrics are stupid and are plain disgusting. He ties in oral sex pointlessly. It could be a lot better without it.
