CD's in My Car: Family Force 5

Family Force 5's album Business up Front / Party in the Back

One of my favorite cd's to jam out in my car actually doesn't contain any swearing or debaucherous language! It's full of wholesome lyrics?! Whaaaaaaat? Well, they are a Christian rap rock band, and their target audience is from what I've experienced ~14 year olds, but I still derive some strange sort of enjoyment from attending their shows and dancing like a crazy person and being 1 out of 2 people taking bar breaks (the other being my boyfriend, and the kid's parents don't count!)

With stage names like Chapstique, Crouton, and Soul Glow Activatur, these guys are more like action figures on stage rather than people. Besides promoting incorrect spelling, they promote having a good time and dancing.

The lyrics don't get any more R rated than "Dance next to me" and "Start the party now come on put yo hands up" and "Watch what you say around my momma, she raised me in the durrty south." Their straightedge scenester appeal for some reason works, and there's just something about their music that is awesome.
