Take it from Dax Shepard: Dancing to Sabrina Carpenter‘s music with your kids is super fun. The PG-13 conversations that her songs might inspire afterward? Not so much.
On the latest episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, the actor — who shares 13-year-old Lincoln and 10-year-old Delta with wife Kristen Bell — started out by saying that despite being “so late to the party,” he’s now “an enormous Sabrina Carpenter fan.”
“It started with ‘Bed Chem,’” he shared, referencing one of the steamier tracks on the Girl Meets World alum’s Billboard 200-topping album Short n’ Sweet. “I was driving with Delta to school today, and we listen to it every morning … If a song, it hits, you can’t resist dancing with your shoulders. We were really getting our shoulders active this morning, it was a blast.
“It’s really fun now that I love her favorite artist,” he added. “It’s fun for her. ‘Cause now I’m on the Sabrina train.”
That said, Shepard isn’t quite as big a fan of one of the other tracks on Carpenter’s LP: “Juno,” the aphrodisiacal chorus of which is inspired by the 2007 film of the same name about a high schooler, played by Elliot Page, who gets pregnant. “I don’t wanna tell [Delta] it wasn’t my favorite, ’cause it’s her favorite — but I’m not gonna lie to her,” he said before explaining the awkward parenting moment the racy song’s lyrics inspired.
“She goes, ‘But do you know what Juno is?’ and I go, ‘No…,’” Shepard recalled. “And she’s like, ‘Well, it’s a movie,’ and I go, ‘The movie Juno? Yes, I know.’ She goes, ‘Yeah … It’s a story about a girl who gets pregnant.’”
“I go, ‘That’s a little nasty,’” he continued. “And she goes, ‘What’s nasty about wanting to have a baby with somebody?’ I go, ‘Well, it’s a teenager. She’s in high school.’”
“The way she phrased it was like, ‘Wait, what’s nasty about wanting to have a baby with someone you love?’” Shepard added. “And I was like, ‘Oh no, there’s nothing nasty about that, I’m just saying, ‘I wanna get pregnant in high school’ is kind of a nasty, fun lyric. It’s a positive ‘nasty,’ I’m saying.”
Full of NSFW lyrics and double entendres, “Juno” is one of the biggest fan favorites on Short n’ Sweet. That’s thanks in part to the fact that each night on Carpenter’s ongoing tour in support of the album, she strikes a different pose on stage to coincide with the suggestive lyric, “Wanna try out some freaky positions?/ Have you ever tried this one?”
At one of her recent shows in Paris, for instance, she paid tribute to the city by contorting her body into the shape of the Eiffel Tower with the help of two male backup dancers.
