Look at say, Sing, fine as a film, but has I like big butts’ in it. Yes, my 4 year old gets the song and what it means. Then Ed Sheeran with his Gallway girl, “Kissed on the neck” trust me, my 7 year old asks for it by that lyric. It’s there, it’s not terrible, but if you make it into a massive thing, it’ll become massive.
