“Cupid’s Chokehold/Breakfast In America” – Gym Class Heroes But Kidz Bop’s alternative lyrics make the verses quite choppy and off rhythm. Some lyrical changes include “Don’t pretend, I think you know I’m precious/And so yeah, I’m a hey, hey princess.” We understand the need to eliminate the profanity.
They may have missed the song’s suggestive lyrics, such as “Don’t you know what I can do to make you feel all right?” Nonetheless, Kidz Bop tries their best to transform the pop misfit’s hit into a kid-friendly jam. The success of Avril Lavigne ’s 2007 hit landed itself in the hands of Kidz Bop. But the song still matches the singer’s nasally voice with the kids’ unnecessary gasps. It’s not the worst cover Kidz Bop has done. While some may not remember “Girl Next Door,” the song’s popularity in 2005 cemented its seat on Kidz Bop 10’s tracklist. “ Girl Next Door” – Saving Janeīefore Taylor Swift ’ s “You Belong With Me,” Saving Jane released a hit of their own where the singer details her paranoid obsession with the popular girl at school. However, the bridge is something in itself, with another unknown adult singer trying his best to mimic the rap. While Kidz Bop hires another off-pitch lead singer, the Kidz Bop participants save the cover from being unlistenable to at least funny with their singing of the famous chorus. While the song already spawned a meme or two, it’s hard to envision “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence becoming even more meme-ified and internet-friendly. And for obvious reasons, the brand disabled commenting under this video on Kidz Bop’s YouTube profile. While they didn’t exactly nail De La Soul’s verses in the song, one can still rejoice in the family-friendly lyrics (“Lining them up like fast cats”). However, credit is due to Kidz Bop for finding a decent Damon Albarn soundalike. If you manage to make it past those six seconds, you’ll then face the agony of children singing, “Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good ,” again, sounding like possessed animatronics.
Why the producers of Kidz Bop decided to record a far more vile-sounding and longer laugh than the original is a great question. The first six seconds of this Gorillaz cover are more uncomfortable than any other Kidz Bop song in its entirety. Still, take away the kids’ high-pitch voices and this cover isn’t half bad. But yet again, an iconic staple of pop punk’s domination of the 2000s is forever stained with a Kidz Bop cover. Many millennials know “The Great Escape” by Boys Like Girls as the perfect teenage anthem of freedom and hedonism. This just goes to show it’s not about whether kids can sing it but rather should they sing it. Despite its popularity, Kidz Bop’s decision to cover this dark, emotional song has us scratching our heads. With lyrics that fit the occasion of a painful breakup or terminating a friendship, “It ends tonight” is one phrase that shouldn’t be sung by children. Kidz Bop’s out-of-tune singer makes the melancholic ballad “It Ends Tonight” by the All-American Rejects even more depressing than it already is. “ It Ends Tonight” – The All-American Rejects It minimalizes Green Day’s somber comment on the idealized phenomenon of the American dream. While the instrumental aspect of the cover is decent, this Kidz Bop cover drains the iconic rock anthem of all its intensity and gravity. For this cover, another unknown adult singer botched Green Day ’s 2005 Record of the Year with a twangy voice and children’s obnoxious backup vocals. But then again, everything about Kidz Bop is a little surreal. There’s something quite surreal and off-putting about listening to children take on a song that exposes the faults of the American dream. And you’re probably wondering what happened to the lyrics “Shake it once, that’s fine/Shake it twice, that’s OK/Shake it three times, you’re playing with yourself again.” While it would go over most kids’ heads, it was obviously omitted. But there’s still the added “yeah yeah yeahs” the children throw in throughout the song to further show their enthusiasm for societal dropouts. The cover of the Good Charlotte classic isn’t too ridiculous-sounding. The Kidz Bop kids are on backup vocals again, singing along to lyrics of societal defiance and degeneracy as if they’ve already given up on life before their angsty teenage years even hit. But Kidz Bop still had to alter the line “She was gonna shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake ’s car” to “She was gonna shake it fast on the hood of Whitesnake’s car.” “The Anthem” – Good CharlotteĪnother loser anthem indeed. Sure, Bowling For Soup’s version omits the lines about an accidental pregnancy and hooking up with George Michael. But fear not: The kids make their pre-pubescent voices heard with their obnoxious echoing and added exclamations in between lyrics.
