Debate: How Teens Hear 'Promiscuous'

NPR
Published September 14, 2006 at 4:00 PM EDT

The song "Promiscuous Girl" has been everywhere lately: the top of the Billboard charts; the No. 1 iTunes download; and all across the radio dial.

The song is a dialogue between singer Nelly Furtado and the producer and musician Timbaland. Their flirting conversation in the song generated a conversation among several of the young men and women at Youth Radio.
