What Parents Need to Know
About "U Can't Touch This" (CD single)
Parents need to know that this music video uses a cover of an M.C. Hammer rap as a vehicle for showcasing the stars of the new Disney XD series Zeke & Luther. The network and the series are both geared toward young boys, so it's no surprise that the video would focus on skateboarding. The dance moves are tame and the skateboarding tricks aren't the death-defying type. Most of the lyrics have remained the same and Hammer's old warning that you won't be able to touch his talents remains intact, translated into extreme sport sensibilities. Although the premise for the video is about a bunch of regular neighborhood kids having fun, the Disney characters and their team of back-up dancers all sport the latest in retro '80s fashions, appearing slim and attractive. The fun dance party scene will undoubtedly help to promote the television series as a hip and exciting new show.

just not a good song for kids
ok i dont like this song anyways but there are some bad thigns about this song. the girls that dance around the rappers in the video have skimpy clothes that show too much for the small children that watch disney. some dancing is bad and im not saying all is but the song is saying its ok to dance and a little dance is ok but it might lead to inappropiate dancing.
