Hip-hop group LMFAO's popular single "I'm Sexy and I Know It" is "so catchy, even a 6-year-old boy can pick it up, says Amanda Sloane at HLN TV. That's what happened in Colorado, where young D'Avonte Meadows started singing the tune — which includes lyrics like "Girl, look at that body" — to a classmate in his school's lunch line, and was promptly suspended for sexual harassment. While the lyrics were undeniably inappropriate for the boy to be singing, says Jeff Kart at Parentables, it's hard to blame him for being familiar with the track. After all, it's featured in an excessively repeated M&M's commercial, and was parodied by Elmo on 'Sesame Street'.
I'm not as much appalled that the kid got suspended as I am that Elmo did a parody of the song on 'Sesame Street'.
Here is a video of the song:
I watched a bit of the Elmo parody and I really don't think him bragging about running around with no clothes on is appropriate for this type of show. I have been thinking that 'Sesame Street' has been taking things a little overboard for a while now. If I had a child, I really don't think that I would let him or her watch it anymore. It used to be good, wholesome, educational fun, but.....WOW!!! What's next, Oscar the Grouch doing a parody of Rihanna's 'S & M'?
