How to make new parents happy: Gift & nurturing id.If there is an age when Kidz Bop is cool, I was never that age.Growing with their trees: A height comparison thro.How to prevent leg cramps during pregnancy: The ON.I'd say Slate is killing it, but I guess I mean they're moving it. Want an incisive deconstruction of the growing conservativism of Kidz Bop lyrics? Here you go. I've got my ticket for the long way round,Īnd, yes, you're not imagining it: There are currently 31 of these albums out there. So, wait, stealing's ok here, but not being a victim of same? Just Give Me A Reason, by P!nk & Nate Ruess Why are chemistry and physics hardcore but mysticism is ok? It makes sense that no one cares about the second one. You drove your car across the bridge, I watched, you let it turn I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn Until you kissed my lips and you saved me For instance, they changed the lyric "Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me" in Cascada’s “Evacuate The Dancefloor” to "Oh, oh, stop, this beat is moving me." Once again, death is taboo in KidzBopLand, so they vocally smeared this out. The sun is shining everyday, but it’s far away I can't decide if Kidz Bop has a particular religious bent or prefers songs to be religiously neutral. Just prayin’ to a thing that I don’t believe inĪpparently this was theologically offensive. Just prayed to a God that I don’t believe in I have to admit, I kind of like this change, too. This video isn't Kidz Bop and has a different revised lyric, but I dug the dancing.Īnd I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirtĪnd I got that good girl faith and favorite shirt No offense, Meghan, but this edit is better, too. Stealing, a bridge too far.Īnd maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body rightĪnd maybe then I'll let you try and prove that you were right Giving contact information to someone you just met, ok. Wha-? I'm guessing tweens make as much sense of the original lyrics as the edit.īegging and borrowing, ok. Grass stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room Although I guess it's true that the tween set doesn't usually have much in the way of curves, so hit 'em where they live.īut every song is like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom,īlood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel roomīut every song is like gold teeth, gold goose, singin' in the bathroom, It was a parallel before, and now it's not. My value is not contingent upon boys' approval. She says, "Don't let it keep you at home in your room at night"Īgain, can't argue with this edit. She says, "Boys like a little more booty to hold at night" Yeah, my mama she told me, "Don't worry about your size" It's nice that she's being lauded for something she can do rather than something she looks like. Well, this one is repetitious, but I can't even disagree with the change. 'Cause I got those dance moves that all the boys chaseĪnd all the right moves in all the right places 'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chaseĪnd all the right junk in all the right places She's such a good friend that people take advantage. They always wanna hang, but they never wanna leave 'Cause I'm the best friend that they never gotta keep They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave 'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep One, two, three, they gonna run back to me I had a friend who was a boy and was really dumb. Now, ok, I get why they wanted to alter the implied sexuality, but this change is so opaque.

I told him him all the things that he didn't understand Well, I knew me a boy, and yes he was a friend I showed him all the things that he didn't understand Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man The original is a quotation from typical Christian marriage vows. Here are a few of my still-family-friendly favorites:ĭon't bury anyone, kids! The original doesn't seem offensive to me, just…odd? Guess Kidz Bop decided to clarify: They're just talking. I'm not even talking censoring swears or bowdlerizing sexiness - they change things in some truly bizarre ways, ostensibly to protect your children's innocent ears. Since these pop songs are being sung by minors, the producers have changed many of the lyrics to often hilarious and baffling results. For the uninitiated into their ubiquitous television infomercials, they're CDs of kids singing pop songs. Do your kids listen to Kidz Bop music albums? Mikko got into them in a big way a couple years ago and has since gone back off them, but they greatly amused me.
