iCarly: Music From and Inspired by the Hit TV Show

Common Sense Media says

Great tween-friendly mix from popular Nick show.

  • Some typical tween/teen talk ("She's so stupid, what were you thinking?"). A few songs discuss strong feelings about a young relationship ("not a day passes by when I don't think of you...I can't be without you" and "All I could do was think of you/sitting up in my room going crazy"). There's a brief section of cast dialog that talks about a video of "world's fattest priest" jumping rope. "Freckles" is a great song about loving yourself ("why waste a second not loving who you are").
  • Not applicable.
  • Nothing, but one section of cast dialog is talk about glow-in-the-dark bras.
  • A few words like "suckish," "hate," and "stupid." In "Girlfriend" the word "hell" is bleeped out from original version, and can't actually be heard.
  • Obvious tie-in the popular Nickelodeon show.
  • None, but one song says "you're so addictive" when talking about a relationship.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that in between the peppy, tween-friendly tunes on this album, there are some brief snippets of sometimes irreverent off-the-cuff comedic banter from the stars of the hit TV show iCarly that kids will get a kick out of -- even if parents don't get them. There are four new songs debuting from Miranda Cosgrove (Carly), but the rest are from various artists, some Nickelodeon sponsored (The Naked Brothers Band), and some not (Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne), although all the content is perfectly fine for tweens.

The song is GREAT! I love how they get real kids that aren't famous in the music video! The song was just out of this world! :-)

icarly music and inspired hit tv show
Families can talk about the Internet and how it relates more and more to TV. What are the pros and cons of having so much available on the Internet? Start a discussion with your tweens or teens about Web etiquette: What are the rules for sharing personal information, or uploading videos and pictures? Is it always safe? Also, have you or a friend ever been bullied?
