9 Of The Most Hilarious ‘Kidz Bop” Lyric Changes

bru

The original “Kidz Bop” compilation album debuted at No. 76 on the Billboard 200 chart back in 2001, thanks to some clever commercials on Nickelodeon. And ever since then, the Kidz Bop franchise has been killin’ it on the charts. The franchise has hit the top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 over 18 times, and has sold over 15.4 million albums!

You can bet a lot of those albums were purchased by parents/grandparents for their young children, but we’re willing to bet there are a few people out there buying them for some quick laughs. The extreme lyrical edits to make the adult songs more appropriate for children have had some hilarious results.

Check out our favorites below…

No. 9 – Christina Aguilera – “Not Myself Tonight”

Original Lyric: “And if you don’t like it, f–k you.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “And if you don’t like it boo hoo.”

Why would they even attempt to put this on an album for kids? Have you seen the music video for this song? It’s basically 3 minutes of Christina crawling on the floor half naked and getting her breasts squeezed by random dudes. What if your kid grabbed your iPad one day and decided to look up his/her favorite song off the Kidz Bop album on YouTube?

No. 8 – One Direction – “Story Of My Life”

Original Lyric: “She told me in the morning/She don’t feel the same about us in her bones.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “She told me in the hallway/She don’t feel the same about us in her bones.”

I don’t think this change was needed. Would a kid really be able to figure out the “in the morning” line? They’re probably still trying to figure out what the heck this girl is feeling in her bones.

No. 7 – The Wanted – “Glad You Came”

Original Lyric: “Hand you another drink / Drink it if you can.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “Hand you another dance / Dance it if you can.”

Huh? How do you hand someone a dance? What if your kid goes to school the next day trying to hand people dances? School officials are protective now, your child would probably be suspended for making threats.

And again, why did they need to change the original lyric? If your young child hears the word “drink” and automatically thinks alcohol, then you might have bigger problems to deal with.

No. 6 – Lorde – “Royals”

Original Lyric: “But every song is like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin’ in the bathroom.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “But every song is like gold teeth, gold goose, singin’ in the bathroom.”

Gold teeth = gold goose! It makes perfect sense! Although, they could have just dropped a “Mother Goose” in there. I think kids would relate to that more.

No. 5 – Macklemore – “Thrift Shop”

Original Lyric: “Walk in the club like what up? I got a big cock.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “Now walk into the club like “What up?! I got a hit song!”

What club? The Mickey Mouse Club? WHY ARE THEY HITTIN’ UP THE CLUB? WHO IS LETTING THEM IN? IS IT A SCHOOL NIGHT?

No. 4 – Lady Gaga – “Telephone”

Original Lyric: “Out in the club and I’m sippin that bubb / And you’re not gonna reach my telephone.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “Out in the club and I’m eating that grub / And you’re not gonna reach my telephone.”

Really? They are at the club again? I am just going to assume it’s the same club. How could they trick two different clubs? Unless they are just really tall for their age, which would actually make sense with the line, “And you’re not gonna reach my telephone.” No one would be able to reach it because they are freakishly tall.

No. 3 – Bruno Mars – ” The Lazy Song”

Original Lyric: “Meet a really nice girl/Have some really nice sex/And she’s gonna scream out, ‘This is great, oh my God, this is great.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “Meet a really nice girl, send a really nice text. And she’s gonna write back, You’re so great OMG you’re so great!”

Lolz 2 kewl. Girls love receiving really nice text messages, and apparently they enjoy repeating themselves as well.

No. 2 – The Script – “Breakeven”

Original Lyric: “I’m still alive but I’m barely breathin’ / Just prayin’ to a God that I don’t believe in.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “I’m still alive but I’m barely breathin’ / Just prayin’ to a thing that I don’t believe in.”

A thing? So praying to some random God isn’t strange enough? Now we are encouraging our children to pray to random f–king objects around the house?

Father: Hey, Billy. What are you doing in front of the fridge?

Billy: Oh, you know…just praying to it. I really hope it has one of those yogurt cups inside, with the little M&M’s sprinkled on top.

Father: Right. Carry on then.

No. 1 – Kesha – “Tik Tok”

Original Lyric: “Before I leave, brush ma teeth with a bottle of Jack.”

Kidz Bop Edit: “Before I leave, brush my teeth, then I go and pack.”

Actually, the Kidz Bop version does make more sense…
