They also covered Wake Me Up When September Ends which is one of the less inappropriate Green Day songs but certainly fits into the trend of “weirdly depressing for a Kidz Bop album” here because clearly when I think of songs to play for my hypothetical elementary school aged child I think of a song about a man trying to process the grief of his father dying when he was young which the public (incorrectly but still) recontextualized to 9/11. At best yeah there’s some songs you grow up and realize have more mature meanings, but I still think this belongs in a potential part 2 for the “WTF were they thinking?” factor And this is coming from someone who went weirdly viral on the old Kidz Bop site at age 11 or so because that’s what you did when you wanted to make video content but mom didn’t let you have a KZbin account yet

Kidz Bop started around the time I had my first kid. About '98 or '99... somewhere in there. Even back then, I couldn't see playing some Sesame Street wannabe version of a rock song for my kids. I've always just let them hear the original song, cuss words and all. My kids always thought Kidz Bop sucked and always thanked me for not subjecting them to that crap. LOL

[@ordinarynocturne]

This is the future soundtrack to a true crime documentary. I (apparently, I don't personally remember this) knew the words to AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, and Bon Jovi songs when I was preschool age, but at least that was just from listening to cassettes and the radio in passing and not being forced to learn and sing things so some record exec could buy his fifth yacht. These poor kids probably weren't even paid decently.

[@SirLightsOut99]

Fun fact, I’ve used the Kidz Bop cover of bring me to life as an icebreaker when meeting new people once or twice, because they’re shocked reactions to that first wake me up is always something that can get a whole room laughing.

I remember listening to Kidz Bop as a kid and I remember them doing two of the major hits from fuckin’ AMERICAN IDIOT. Namely “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends”. I distinctly remember the Kidz Bop version of “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” soundtracking my sadness when I couldn’t get McDonald’s one day. Yep, I was one of THOSE kids.

[@Chelaxim]

Ok so former Kidz Bop kid here yes I'm partiality responsible for Bring Me To Life back then the recording booth was more like a closet and everyone recorded thier parts separately it was all one take for everyone. And clearly there's no pitch correction so the engineer had to take a bunch of vocal tracks Frankenstein it into a choir regardless of if the timing is off over a karaoke track. Despite Kidz Bop 2 and 2 going gold Razor and Tie made the recording cheap as possible for maximum profit. So if I have two gold records and they made them cheap as possible...how are my royalties?

[@gamestation2690]

When I was a kid, we had a series of videos called Kidsongs. That did this concept a whole lot better, because they knew which popular songs were best for kids to sing and not make it uncomfortable. Granted, they did censor Achy Breaky Heart, but it didn't sound jarring.

It's a shame the death metal version of Kidz Bop never came to be. Hearing children sing Deicides Children of the Underworld, Morbid Angel God of Emptiness, and honestly anything from Cannibal Corpse would be priceless. Buckcherry is obviously a band Kidz Bop should of covered. Think about hearing the enthusiasm they could bring by singing the Hey you're a crazy bitch but I like the way you.....oh shit maybe not a good song, but there's the poetic brilliance of Yes I'm all lit up again on the couch in my bed yes I'm all lit up again I'm flyin I love the coca....woops...I know replace cocaine with cocoa.

I remember when Kidz Bop did an album called “Monster Ballads", which is basically a bunch of covers of 80s rock power ballads. It included a really bad cover of Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" with Bret Michaels himself on guitar, along with his daughters. But that's not all. They also butchered "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue, "Forever" by KISS, "I Remember You" by Skid Row, and many more. The worst offender, though, is their god-awful cover of "Patience" by Guns N' Roses. Whose idea was it to have kids sing a song that probably made them want to fall asleep when they heard it for the first time? The original is already boring and terrible to begin with, but having kids sing it makes it like 100x worse.

3:30 This is slightly off topic but that reminded me of one of my all time favorite bands; Kamelot. They have a song called Burns to Embrace and in that song you can hear a choir of the wife and kids (the kids can be heard a bit more) of their guitarist Thomas Youngblood doing the backing vocals and I think that was a good example of including kid vocals.

I think the worst edited line is "a song for them, a song for you, a song for everybody in this room" instead of "a bullet for them, a bullet for you, a bullet for everybody in this room".

my idea for a death metal kidz bop isnt looking too far fetched now...

[@Lucario1121]

In my opinion the worse Kidz Bop song has to be their attempt at covering Gangum Style. Despite the song obviously being very lewd they couldn't resist to have kids cover it with how popular it was back in the days, so they just omitted the "sexy lady" part out and just have them go "Hey, Hey lady" like why?! Surprised they didn't make these kids sing Despacito while they were at it

I work at a kid's party rental space right now, and one day we were playing some kidz bop over the speakers. When I heard "Beggin" by Måneskin my heart dropped. I love that song, and they tore all the heart out of it

My Niece has 4 kids about the right age for these, now I see why she threatened her own mother when she wanted to get one for them. my thoughts through the entire video were WTF and you poor soul having to listen and find the ones you wanted...

[@DesertRainReads]

Oh lord, when Kidz Bop covered "Bring Me to Life" and "My Immortal"? I couldn't stomach ever listening to Evanescence anymore. Yup, Kidz Bop destroyed Evanescence for me entirely, no joke. Literally the next day, I went and sold my copy of "Fallen" and stopped listening to them cold turkey. I also realized thanks to them that Amy Lee has a whiny voice, and that when the band broke up? They should've stayed broken up.

I can't believe he didn't include Trapt's "Headstrong". Because they definitely covered that too. I'm proud to say my 5 year old daughter loves my music and we sing together in the car to Rise Against "Nowhere Generation" , CCR "Bad Moon Rising", The entire NFG Christmas album, and Strata "Love is Life". No watered down shitty earworms for her... just the good stuff.

I remember laughing uncontrollably when I heard the Kidz Bop version of Being Me To Life. Hearing kids sing "Save me from the nothing I've become" made me lose it.

[@rayanna7188]

When you said maybe one day Kidz Bop will do a horrible cover of "Hurt" by NIN or even Johnny Cash, I started thinking about if they did a cover of a NIN song. God that would be extremely uncomfy

[@pickletom]

I'd love to see them do Starfuckers. God what would that look like

[@pickletom]

Or they could do the obvious... Closer

[@Burningtoys-x1x]

I must admit, when I was younger, I used to quite like kidz bop. But now, I hate them with a passion.

[@Tyr-qz2lo]

Kids Bob cover of Closer…

[@DarthCrust66]

Kidz bop really is the 4kids of music

[@mistycreek4584]

When I was seven, my mom took me to a kidz bop concert where it was one hundred and three degrees and they played 7 songs. I was so miserable and I never listened to kidz bop again. Which sucked cause I wasn’t allowed to listen to any other music

[@SavaFiend]

I'm one of *those* parents who just plays the regular versions around my kids - even if it has curse words in it. Oops!😣

[@dmplacencia]

You are a saint

[@mouldygrub33]

I heard in the end and immediately thought "I'm gonna become president to ban kids bop from this country"

[@TheSlickStick]

God, imagine if Kidz Bop covered Kid Rock or Ted Nugent...

[@DesertRainReads]

The sad thing is? That would still be better than the original. XD

[@godsire6217]

How about f the world by ICP?

[@ryansenft3315]

RE: The cover of In The End. Chester is spinning in his grave.

[@holidayonion]

Oddly enough, the Kidz Bop version of Feel Good Inc was the catalyst that got me into wanting to listen to more music. I was 6.

[@mcool5678]

The worst thing is they did a cover for Montero from Lil Nas X which is on par or worse for some of the songs on the list.
