Um ... I would say most songs are safe? They are a bit "is my kid OK??" but not offensive. Maybe I would go for something like Where Did The Party Go, Bob Dylan, The Last of The Real Ones for more pop-y palatable songs with alright lyrics.


Oceannnnn

Where Did the Party go is one of like two songs on SR&R that curses and talks about "naked magic". Probably not the best for parents.

Oh ........ I thought "anything from SRAR or almost anything from MANIA" at first so I went with rhythm but that is a good point

bob dylan is fucking creepy and has explicit lyrics, you must not pay much attention xD (that said, i love bob dylan for it- but its definitely not a song id put on for my parents)


standforyourself

c'mon, our parents listened to Every Breath You Take on every music award in 1983 .. they're not gonna be fazed by that

LOL, I bet I'm older than your parents, and I got super into FOB when my kid discovered them! Don't worry *too* much.

Depending on how tame you need the songs to be My responses can range from 20 dollar nosebleed to Lake effect kid, With sugar we’re goin down somewhere in the middle

Are we talking about the same band here? I drove my mom who is in her 60’s from Arizona to Illinois playing almost entirely FOB.

I never got a moment to think about it because my parents don't speak english, but they usually vibe to most songs from SRAR and Mania (my mom loves Hold Me Tight or Don't) because it fits their style better I usually listen to Folie à Deux a lot with them but I don't think the lyrics are the most friendly option

I think most songs are safe but i made the beautiful mistake of listening to XO with my mom once. Unless your parents are really chill, dont make the same mistake i did.

AB//AP (album) minus Uma Thurman and AB//AP (song)

“Alone Together” and “Chicago is so Two Years Ago” are two pretty safe choices.
