I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
-- Sheryl Crow
I'm minding my own business last night, watching my tv and all and then the commerical came on...
"No matter what I do, all I think about is you" No, this wasn't Nelly and Kelly singing, mind you, this was a bunch of little kids. I slid to the end of my seat. Oh, how I would love to hear how Kidz Bop would have said the line, "Oh no, she got a man and a son though." This diddy was followed by, "I gotta get through this" by Daniel Beddingfield and "Don't let me get me" by Pink.
Ok, now all throughout the ages, kids have listened to music. Kids listen to adult stations, kids hear what their parents and older siblings are listening to. Any 9 year old can turn on the radio and hear "go, go, go shorty, it's ya birthday, we gon' party like it's ya birthday" and anything else under the sun. This is nothing new at all.
My question is what in the free world is this Kidz Bop crap?? Please take a minute out of your busy schedule and look at the songs on these CDs. I mean, it says they are kid friendly and that's good. But just how freakin' weird, man. When I was 9, I was buying (or rather, asking for) Debbie Gibson and New Kids on the Block tapes. Who wants some lame version of a cool song sung by a bunch of kiddies? Maybe kiddies do, I don't know!
Anyway, just weird and I had to share!
