Instead of just choosing literally any other song, 'Kidz Bop' rewrote the entire chorus of this Chainsmokers hit to make it family-friendly, giving the song one of the funniest facelifts in the Kidz Bop Kids' history: 'So, baby, pull me closer as we stand against the Rover / That I know they can't afford / Brush that stress right off your shoulder / Pull the sheets right off the corner of that notebook that you stole / From your friend's room back in Boulder / We ain't ever getting older.'Īgain, of all the pop songs 'Kidz Bop' could've chosen for this collection, they just shrugged, chose 'Toxic,' and assigned a bunch of kids to sing the lyric 'With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride'?

'Kidz Bop' covering Rihanna should be a crime in and of itself, but this song was a particularly questionable choice, with a line like 'it beats me black and blue, but it (expletive) me so good' about the singer's troubled love.

I Did It Again” on the very first 'Kidz Bop' release in 2001, the albums have periodically featured songs that, no matter how sanitized their rewritten lyrics may be, still were probably too questionable for a kids’ CD.

'Kidz Bop' is one of pop music’s most inexplicably enduring franchises of the 21st century, beloved by kids and parents for the compilations’ family-friendly renditions of popular hits, and by everyone else for their unintentional hilarity.Īnd ever since the Kidz Bop Kids covered Britney Spears' 'Oops!.
