QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Where Them Girls At" is a fairly mature song that mentions hooking up with multiple strangers at a dance club. It includes some profanity ("s--t," "f--k"), a reference to getting "buzzed," and an especially graphic description of oral sex. Combined, these qualities result in a song that's not age appropriate for tweens and young teens.
What's the story?
"WHERE THEM GIRLS AT" is a collaboration between hot DJ David Guetta and two equally popular rappers -- Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj. None of the three is known for making clean music, so it's no surprise that this track tells a mature story about going to a club and hooking up with lots (and lots) of people. Minaj has an especially explicit lyric about oral sex, and both rappers use profanity. Throw in a reference to getting buzzed, and this song definitely crosses the line into inappropriate-for-young-kids territory.
Is it any good?
There's nothing new about this synth-heavy sound, featuring the same pumping beats as so much of the other club music out there. Coupled with Minaj's hectic rap style, this tune isn't for everyone -- but it will resonate with all the club-goers who love this genre.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the song's message. What are some of the potential consequences that can come from casual hookups with various partners?
How can you have fun on a night out with friends without indulging in casual sex or substance use?
Studies show that the more sexually degrading messages kids hear, the more likely they are to have sex at earlier ages. Do songs like this one glamorize irresponsible behavior?

Another inappropriate for radio club hook up song
Every other song on the radio these days is raunchy like this talking about hooking up in a club and having casual sex with strangers, getting drunk. Tired of hearing music with bleeps through them too - why not just make it clean to begin with? I would love to think of a way to get artists to make music without inappropriate lyrics for radio or petition stations to only play this stuff at night like they used to. You can say turn it off if I don't like it (which I do), but what about when the kids are at someone else's home or in a restaurant or store,etc? Wouldn't they sell more copies if all age ranges could listen and buy it?

Great dancing song
This is my favorite song right now, definitely!:) And, I didn't even realize half of the things that were being said until after I looked at the lyrics. So, yeah, some of the lyrics may be a little...ehh...but since it's rap, 95% of the time, you can't even understand it! Great dance song!!

Enjoying the song
as I'm a teenager we cannot deny the fact that sexual consumerism is unpreventable. But mostly I do not care about the lyrics, also -I do not- my friends use these words very often. I'm not saying that these lyrics should be ignored, I'm saying that teenagers should enjoy the music. And anyway, it is too catchy to not listen.
