Fall Out Boy Sexes Up Kidz Bop

[Indiglo]

Kidz Bop is something of a joke to the musical world. You take a playlist of overplayed pop songs, gather a group of kids to sing them, record it, and go platinum. Kidz Bop has danced around profanity before with some quick editing. However, no amount of dancing could have prepared Fall Out Boy to the reaction they've garnered for the apperance of their hit "Dance, Dance" on Kidz Bop 10.

The songs overtly sexual lyrics hardly seem to work well coming out of a twelve year old's mouth. A sample line: "I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me."
The outrage caused so much havoc, that FOB bassist Pete Wentz addressed the issue in his FallOutBoy.com blog.

"I've gotten one million e-mails and IMs about 'Dance, Dance' being on Kidz Bop," states Wentz, "Here's the answer: We don't know what's going on, because they can use a song without your permission. However, I can't imagine some young kids singing 'crawling into bed with me' and all. If they change the lyrics, I believe they need to get permission. We're looking into it."

Apparently, the makers of Kidz Bop (Razor & Tie) do not need the artist's permission to feature a song (provided they pay royalties). However, permission is needed if lyrics/music need any sort of editing.

Thanks to MTV News for the heads up.

I want to hear those kidz sing to Tupac.

I want to hear they sing some Slipknot.

 

[E. Bison]

Those kidz should sing Motley Crues' song "Girls, Girls, Girls". They should also sing Nirvana'z "Rape Me"

Well if they sing it just like Fall Out Boy sings the songs, it's not like anyone would know what they were saying anyway.

I mean, honestly, I've heard "Dance Dance" a million times, and never knew it was anything sexual, because you can't understand a word that they say.

 

[C.F. Kane]

I dare you to listen to their covers of Toxic, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Feel Good Inc., or Wait (The Whisper Song). Pray for the future of civilization

 

[black_dust]

Get them to put slipknot on it

 

[X-Punisher]

Next thing you know they're going to put Missy Elliot, Little Kim and other uber-**** rap stars.

I can picture them singing "You want search it, gonna work, if you have a big *elephan noise* i'm gunna *what ever she says, cant understand her* it"
and on the commercial it's them washing a elephant or fixing a water leak, not getting what the song really means.

lol

 

[Man-Thing]

I want them to do Angel of Death by Slayer, or Last Carress by the Misfits.

Dude. All I know is that I'm happy as long as they don't touch Queen, the Rolling Stones, or Aerosmith.

 

[U.S War Machine]

Word. Kidz Bop can rape Fallout Boy and Nickelback as much as they want to, but leave the quality stuff alone.
