Future Parents, Do You Know What Your Kidz Bop Are Doing?
Kidz Bop is old news, but you know what else is old news? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and that's still worth talking about (perfect analogy, very sensitive to the human cost). It's just so endlessly fascinating in the way that things that make you feel really old and really scared are endlessly fascinating. It's impossible to watch this Kidz Bop video and not be confronted both by the general terror of having children, but also to be confronted with your own mortality, because what this video says to everyone who is older than 9 is "the world no longer needs your services." It's no mistake that every setting involves a child playing some kind of adult role in a world completely devoid of any adults. Even something as innocuous (seeming) as a little girl in a dance studio is creepy and threatening when you realize that she's alone in the dance studio. BECAUSE SHE OWNS IT AND PAYS A MORTGAGE ON IT.
Jesus. Stuff of Nightmares.

The whole thing makes no sense. What's wrong with the regular song?! Why does it need a chorus of shrill children that makes everyone over 13 want to pull out their eardrums?

I am sending this video to everyone I know who legitimately likes this song.
Luckily, that's all of three people, but still. I yell over it when my friend plays it in the car so I don't have to listen to it.

Oh, and I was hoping that black kid would rap like Lil' Wayne, but no dice.

I don't think you were sensitive enough to the human cost of Kidz Bop.
Score = 1
They emphasize cum really inappropriately.

you're so right, Gabe. I bet their clothes were made by 7 year olds too.

I feel rather pleased with myself that i have never heard that song before. I can't imagine the original was much better.
Score = 0
speaking of Jesus - i don't know the original either, does it have the same lyrics? if not ("truth is hard to follow so you pray a lot")...are we sure this is Kidz Bop (i didnt see those words anywhere on this video?) and not some religious thing?
