Tricky adds to Safe Songs Top 30

Posted by: admin on 03/12/2012

Out of the 4 new adds to this week’s Safe Songs for schools, two of them should be approached with caution.

Nicki Minaj seems to always push the limits…her song “Starships” is a great “put your hands in the air” dance song, but you must make sure to play the edit. There are some choice words included in the original. In addition, be aware that there is a reference to Bud Light in the first few seconds of the song…..while this song does not actually glorify drinking the brief but apparent reference to this adult beverage might have some administrators on the edge of the stage ready to leap.

The other song of special note is Dev with Enrique Iglesias. First, it is called NAKED. That ought to get some attention. There is a version available on Prime Cuts (maybe elsewhere) where the song actually doesn’t ever have the word Naked in it. If you don’t introduce the song by it’s title and if you play the right version, no one will know the better. A couple of important “IFS”.

Hey Ric,

Was wondering if you going to include Dub Step and Hardstyle Songs that are safe as well. Not all are appropriate as well to play at School Dances, but with the continuing trend towards these type of songs especially now that Skrillex won 5 Grammy’s. Deadmau5 is very popular along with Wildstylez and Showtek just to name a few that get requested at the dances I DJ.

Thanks,

Mark Andrews
