LOL - listen to it when you want to feel like a badass; that's pretty much it. Me - I'm tan all year round, but come summer (bicycling season), I could pretty much change race if I wanted. Well, until I took off my shirt and showed the horrific farmer's tans that cyclists get, kinda like this:
(not me!)
I'm guessing you're not living in year-round beach country then?
We gotta lotta that here where I live in the midwest and early summer at the beach means sunglasses for more than just the sun in Chicago.

I'll buy the clean ones sometimes, the explicit ones sometimes, with seemingly no rhyme or reason. 'Get Back' isn't too bad in it's explicit form, neither is 'Til I Collapse'. But 'Rap Superstar' (or get the 'Rock Superstar version) is not so clean, and neither is 'Forgot About Dre'. I mean, they're not super hardcore, but have some offensive epithets.
Sadly, at the clubs I teach spin at, rap is kinda not really encouraged, so out of my huge collection of spin playlists there are a handful of rap/hip-hop songs (and they are all squeaky clean!). Hard to use a song dropping the F-bomb every 10 seconds, or using the N-word ever.
Speaking of lyrics, my 6 year old and 2 of his friends were apparently in their lunchroom doing a rendition of Flo Rida's 'Low'. I have no idea where they heard it - I pretty heavily censor songs because of lyrics when we're in the car.
