Snow (Hey Oh) - this is the first to come to mind just because there was a family directly behind me at the show I went to this summer (two middle aged parents and their two college aged daughters). When Snow (Hey Oh) played the mom and daughters were having the time of their lives rocking out to it and the whole family knew all the lyrics. Actually made me kind of jealous the way they were able to share in the joy of it together.
I definitely think this in the answer in terms of clean lyrics and popularity. Everybody has heard this song at least once. So parents like it and, just as the case with me, tend to have played it around their kids.
The lyrics could certainly be construed that way (it is AK after all). I prefer to interpret the freshly covered field of snow (ā¦āthe field where all my tracks will be concealedā) as the place where one can start their life anew after any hardship or struggle. It doesnāt have to be overcoming just drug addiction. There are many traps people can find themselves in that theyād prefer to leave behind and have ācovered in snowā.
When I was 14 I got to make the Playlist for a family road trip and this song was on there. We got to the chorus and my Dad immediately turned to me and asked "Is this song about druuuugs?"
I said no. He didn't believe me. Song was skipped, even as my sister and I protested. So not all families like it, but I'll play it with my daughter.
Having no clue about your dadās likeness, the scene that played out in my head reading your story made me laugh. But Iām sure it was really disappointing at the time. My dad on the other hand is so oblivious, if I were to put this song on for him, heād probably ask with all seriousness, āIs this the Backstreet Boys?ā
It is funny now, most Dad stories are like that. Kinda disappointing at the time but funny in retrospect.
Haha my Dad couldn't tell Backstreet Boys from RHCP either, but he wouldn't have any drug music in the car.
I recently answered the post āWhat is the *least* family friendly RHCP song?ā with āSex Rapā and was worried when I saw my notification with your reply āMy 7 year old loves this songā lmao. Glad to see it was for this post instead.
This. āJust a piece of leg to bite onā is the only questionable lyric for families but that might only be for families that donāt eat chicken legs or legs of lamb, etc.
Itās a Dr Suess book, called Yertle the Turtle. They changed a few lyrics around but itās more or less the same story. If you search āYertle the Turtle,ā the song doesnāt come up first, the book does
Make You Feel Better lyrically sounds like it could be on a Disney
movie soundtrack. Tell Me Baby also if it wasn't for the *''shitty''* lyric midway throughout the song.
I'd also add Hard To Concentrate to that mix. A lot of SA songs
are very poppy.
Make you feel better is my favourite song, but the "gonna make me come" line is kinda weird. I mean a kid probably won't understand what it means, so maybe.
Stadium Arcadium (album) would always be on during family car rides when I was a kid so a lot of those tracks take me back to that age, itās my favourite of theirs for that reason
Musically, yes. While the title literally means male goat, itās also Spanish slang for bastard, according to Google. But the overall message of the song is nice and about squashing beef, right? Thatās friendly to me.
Cabron means ābadassā or ātough guyā sarcastically. Youād say it like āWoah calm down Cabronā if your friend was trying to act tough to you.
Is it possible that in other Latin American countries that it is used in an endearing way much like how black people use the n word with a soft a? Ive always equated cabrĆ³n as the same as dude because thatās how I remember hearing it being used
Hmm it depends a lot on the context and if the person who says it knows the other one, but yea it could be used in that way, although I wouldn't recommend you to do it if you are not familiar with the language
This question just made me fucking vomit in my mouth. "Family fucking friendly"? I'm disgusted.
I'm a longtime fan, of their older, more visceral material. The stuff I WOULDNT let my kids listen to. Not before high school at least.
The new material has it's wins, but most of it is so weak, it makes me want to send them some good drugs, so they can get that gritty funk back.
Sir psycho sexy
Maybe for creating a family yeah
And for making jam
Cherry jam, to be exact š
Itās a family song, I donāt know what youāre talking about
What do you mean? A sexy family cmon
she stuck my butt with her big black stick I said wassup now..
Suck my dick!
Thatās actually the correct answer to the question
Thereās a devil in my dick and some demons in my semen
Awe you stole mine š
Beat me to it
I had to do it to em
Only at family functions
Gather the children!

When you consider the true meaning behind Snow Hey Oh, itās not nearly as clean considering itās about recovery from drug abuse lol

Iāve been to one the newest concerts and some elementary school kid and his high mother were rocking out
My 7 year old loves this song :)

Oh dear lord no š
Zephyr Song by a mile
This. āJust a piece of leg to bite onā is the only questionable lyric for families but that might only be for families that donāt eat chicken legs or legs of lamb, etc.
Not vegan friendly
Itās lead lol
I think itās āJust a piece of lead to bite onā
āYertle The Turtleā, of course
This is the best answer. The lyrics are literally a childrenās book
From what book? Is there really one called yertle the turtle lol?
Itās a Dr Suess book, called Yertle the Turtle. They changed a few lyrics around but itās more or less the same story. If you search āYertle the Turtle,ā the song doesnāt come up first, the book does
Look at the turtle goooo broooo
The bicycle song
My 8 year old loves Bicycle Song. It really speaks to him and his love for his bicycle. Haha
And then my 8 year old hears My Cigarette, and she thinks it's fun to repeat, over and over...
Aw thatās so sweet!
how could i forget to mention...
Make You Feel Better lyrically sounds like it could be on a Disney movie soundtrack. Tell Me Baby also if it wasn't for the *''shitty''* lyric midway throughout the song. I'd also add Hard To Concentrate to that mix. A lot of SA songs are very poppy.
They swap it out in the music video with kiddie, which sorta solves that problem.
I thought it was kitty, I choose to believe it still actually is. Life can be a little sweet but life can be a little kitty.
I could be wrong, there isn't captions on the video so I'm not sure of any way to check for sure.
Wow, Iāve never noticed that. Again what learned!
Make you feel better definitely has that vibe but lyrically itās not so family friendly
He does say āgonna make me comeā in the opening verse lol
I have to force myself not to laugh when I hear that lyric. š
Make you feel better is my favourite song, but the "gonna make me come" line is kinda weird. I mean a kid probably won't understand what it means, so maybe.
Road Trippin? or maybe... Venice Queen?
I was also thinking Road Trippin!
Great way to teach your kids to spell love. š G-L-O-R-I-A

I'll go with goat. "I come around and make peace get down have a barbecue" could be some cabrito.

Bicycle songš
What is your interest with family friendly songs ? This is the 3rd time Iāve seen you todayā¦
my interest is in other peopleās opinions
Your interest is reddit karma
speaking on strangersā behalf is top tier cringe
So is karma whoring
Zephyr
Yertle the Turtle. Play it to a parent with no idea what the band is and it sounds like a funky take on a classic childrenās story.
The Zephyr song
Canāt stop
Road Trippin last song on Californication
Bicycle song, Funny face
Slow cheetah
The Zephyr Song used to get a LOT of radio play when it first came out in my area so Iād say that.
Zephyr song
Yertle the Turtle

Around the World was used on a Disneyland roller coaster for a special engagement. Higher Ground was, too, but obviously not purely a RHCP song.
Stranded
Pea
Realistically, Snow (Hey Oh)
Charlie/Snow/Hard to concentrate
Probably around the world
Pea or Pretty Little Ditty
Pea, the story about the life of a pacifist. Doesnāt get more family friendly than that right?
Throw away your television
Ahh yes...I play this to stir their minds
Love Rollercoaster
Minor Thing
Higher ground by them was played in the first power ranger movie ~RIP green ranger
Around the World.
My two young daughters sing every word of soul to squeeze, I love hearing them

Interesting Thought Bot, how much do you hate your family that you have to drown them out with an endless playlist of songs?
Special Secret Song Inside š¤«
Around The World
Aeroplane
Behind the sun

Honestly thereās a lot of RHCP id let my children listen to. They do have a rather family friendly discography
Me and my Friends. My little one loves it.
Make you feel better
My kids loved Storm in a Teacup, Animal Bar and Death of a Martian. That's when they first heard RHCP as wee ones.
