7th Graders are not going to find Crank That worth any of their time. It's like you in the 7th grade being forced to watch a Meatloaf "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" parody that teaches math concepts on VHS for homework.
BTW, I 100% danced to Paradise by the Dashboard Light in seventh grade. Are you objecting to the content or the culture, Karen?
Quoted from NC_Pin:There are definitely issues... 7th grade is tricky... kids *UNDER* 12 are prohibited from having a YT account. It is against the law, in a big way, to show targeted ads to kids under 12. However, many schools get around this by requiring a COPPA release form.
I won't mention the use of an adblocker.... I voiced my dispeasure about adblockers in the past... and was nearly down-voted into oblivion. However, you can purchase YouTube Premium and you can avoid all ads on YT (ForceFlow - even on mobile!)
My daughter is in 7th grade, and it is crazy to see the things she is unintentionnally exposed to. She plays travel softball, and a majority of the team songs (and walk up songs) are so wrong that it is funny. A girl walks up to the plate to "Who Let The Dogs Out" - but 90% of the peopel are oblivious that the song is about ugly girls showing up to a party. Another one is, "Turn Down for What?" - no one realizes that the song is about why should the person bother trying to get sober. Yet we hear both songs at least 20x during a typical tournament.
Exactly this. These songs have meaning if you're listening to the lyrics. NO ONE IS LISTENING TO THE LYRICS (including your kids). Crank That 1. is an OLDIE. and 2. it's a song about a fad dance and it is NOT COOL.
It's as cool as bell bottom pants or JNCO jeans or whatever else your generation thinks is lame. Crank That is DAD MUSIC -- Who Let the Dogs Out is DAD MUSIC. The teacher is lame. They should be assigning parody music of Kodak Black or Lil Nas X, not moldy oldies like Crank That.
