Does anyone have a fundamental problem with this song being so popular? Being featured on children's programming? Of course the clean version is all well and good, but it does tie into the other version. It's not like children are stupid.

I do like the song, but I DO NOT like that it's so popular with the youth, who know exactly what the real lyrics are.

I don't know the song, but if it's what it sounds like, I don't care for children's shows and songs that teach kids "attitude", or how to smart off to people. Exactly what they don't need to be learning.

The two different versions...

The first time I heard the real version, my husband sent it to me because he liked it....at least I hope that's why! I dont have a problem with the clean one, since mine only hear it on the radio and sing the clean one. It's better to hear them sing that, than it was for my mom to hear me sing "like a virgin" in the car when I was a teen!

You're starting to sound like your parents Rick

I prefer Gwenth Paltrow's version from Glee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1_B9FCZJMA


Unfortunately there is very little out there now that I would approve of as a parent. Then I remember back as to how my parents tried to oversee what I listened to.. They wouldn't let me listen to hardly any rock whatsoever. But as kids do today, I found ways around that..

I like it.

I think so. Stuff like that didn't bother me until I had kids of my own.

This might be his most popular song, but he's been around before it, and will be after I'm sure. It's not a one hit wonder kind of thing for him I don't think.

Well it made me learn his name. I had never heard of him before this song. I did enjoy the performance on the Grammy's. Gweneth is just um.... yeah.

Well, I don't think you and I are in the right demographic for being too familiar!!

I love Cee Lo Green! He's got a fantastc voice. I enjoyed his work with Gnarls Barkley a lot.
