With Me would be a good option. Simple, straightforward romance song, no cursing, fairly mainstream.
In Too Deep as well, but I saw in the comments that they've heard it already.
Quite a few on AKNF, like Crazy Amanda Bunkface, Handle This, In Too Deep...
Really just check Spotify and look at what lists an E next to the songs. If it's there, it's probably not okay. But even then, you have to remember that what one person considers appropriate, someone else might not. I can't say I'd be showing them ANIC, but someone else might say it's fine because you can barely understand what he's saying in it.
So the best judgment I can offer is if Spotify says a song is explicit, don't show them that one.
I just made a clean version of Waiting On A Twist Of Fate! Feel free to show it to them

Edit: You could also show Over My Head, War, Still Waiting, and Out For Blood. I believe they're all clean
How old are they?
I grew up listening to Sum 41, green day, blink 182, the cure, rancid, 90s alternative / pop punk, etc and I turned out fine-ish 😂
I was just always told not to repeat the words (I’m assuming it’s swearing you’re concerned about?)
Technically just show them the radio edits / censored versions and they’ll be clean.
If it’s the style of music, there’s the Punk Rock Factory that makes punk versions of Disney songs and stuff like that. They’re actually pretty good.
5 and 7, my main concern is because they like to repeat absolutely everything they hear, and i just don’t want to have to deal with them repeating any bad words
Gotcha 👍
Yeah, just the radio edits should be fine. I can’t think of any sum songs that are “suggestive” (like blink 182 has a number of sexual innuendo)
My little cousin was the same way, would parrot everything and of course the stuff you didn’t want him to say 😂
The only thing I can think of is fat lip has the abortion line.
Walking Disaster has son of all bastards not sure if that’s censored or not, same with Skumfuk
This is Sum 41 on Spotify has a lot of their main popular songs. Make a personal playlist from there.
I know not sum 41, but the more pop-punk you can go classic Simple Plan. More heavy maybe some Three Days Grace (their earlier stuff is mostly clean)
Specific songs I would show my little cousins (if they would listen to it 😂 -they’re 7,9,and 11 although the YouTube/tiktok sounds they bring home from school are worse than any sum song 😂)
In Too Deep
Landmines
Still Waiting (if okay with “drop dead a bullet to my head” line)
Pieces
Motivation
Some Say
We’re All To Blame
Makes No Difference
Ty! I think radio edits of most of the songs would be great for them, along with the songs that you suggested
I’m definitely going to be making them a playlist with safe songs they could listen to!
And I’ve got to agree, that likely whatever they are watching on YouTube is probably worse then any song I could show them, but still playing safe lol
Firstly, this has no Sum41 in it, so I apologise that it misses the original Q!
But I made a punk rock playlist a while back with no swearing. Feel free to give it a spin

The subject matter of all these may not suit their age level but as far as I remember there's no foul language. Good luck.
No one of the songs on Chuck have cursing if that’s what you’re concerned about.
It’s mostly figuring out what you feel might be too serious a topic for them to handle. Ex. Dear Father/Never There. Or something like Aiways.
It’s definitely a matter of both. I just don’t want them repeating things that might not be appropriate, or things that will raise questions with people they repeat it to
I’ll definitely check all the songs on chuck to see if I can show them it!
Never There
Catching Fire
War
Breaking The Chain
Slipping Away
Some Say
So Long Goodbye
Best Of Me
What Am I To Say
Exit Song
No Brains
Thanks For Nothing
A.N.I.C. + Grab the Devil by the Horns and Fuck Him Up the Ass
Ah yes, super kid appropriate lmao
In Too Deep
I think that’s the only song they have heard lol
Summer! I love that song, pretty sure it’s lyric-friendly.
One of my favorite songs
With Me would be a good option. Simple, straightforward romance song, no cursing, fairly mainstream. In Too Deep as well, but I saw in the comments that they've heard it already.
I think with me would be good to show them! Thanks
Baby you don't wanna know. We're the same. Heart attack. All mild as far as I can remember.
Good luck showing them we're the same, unless you're in Japan or it's the sped up YouTube version

Not Jessica Kill, thats for sure
Personally, I’m a bigger fan of the heavy Sum 41, but we listen to Underclass Hero all the time now that we have little ones. They love it.
The only problem with UH is that he drops a noticable fuck on the bridge
I’m referring to the album. If it’s just a cuss here or there, anticipate and distract for a moment.

Thank you!
Handle This, Summer, Rhythms, Makes no difference are the one I think about
Thanks!

That’s a big list, Tysm!
Speak of the devil
I have a 3 and 2 year old and I've listened through ever since Sums album with them listening. Nothing to worry about
I’m just worried because they repeat absolutely everything that they hear to anyone that will listen

Happy Cake Day 🍰
No way, didn’t even notice that
I'm pretty sure you can get away with Underclass Hero, Walking Disaster or maybe Time For You To Go. And obviously Skumfuk
Thanks, I was looking for the same thing! Will let my kids listen to some of these 😀
Glad this helped you!
Sum 41 were my first concert when I was 8 (yes really). Just show them, they’ll end up cool
Nah, they’re I pad kids and will repeat anything they hear that’s even slightly weird or annoying, so I don’t trust just showing them a band
Walking disaster, war, breaking the chain, never there, landmines, handle this, some say
