Inappropriate Song Lyrics:

"Kids in America"

The Inappropriate Lyrics:

New York to East California,
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya!

Why They're Inappropriate:

There's not really an "east" California, per se. There's a north and a south. New Wave really took off in the States in the Los Angeles area. There's not much to speak of in eastern California, but wilderness.

Dirty Song Lyrics:

"Kids In America"

The Dirty Lyrics:

Come closer honey, that's better
Got to get a brand new experience feeling right
Oh, don't try to stop baby Hold me tight

Why They're Dirty:

If you think about it, the first line infers that the person Kim is singing to, she's drawing them closer to her, and the experience bit is about trying something a bit passionate for the first time, and Kim doesn't want to stop.
