awesome
KIDZ BOP IS THE DEVIL!!!!!
The person who invented it really, REALLY needs to be shaved, sterilized, tarred, feathered, strung up on a hook and destroyed with a flamethrower.
I second that motion.
pretty much
And then we’ll throw eggs at them.
And make them listen to their own cds.
We’ll make them listen to their own CDs 24/7/365 with tone deaf children singing along in the back seat and getting most of the sanitized words wrong anyway.
rofl
It would actually be 24/7/52-ish because there’s not 365 weeks in a year :3 (24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year)
but I still like your idea!
seems like a venn diagram would be more appropriate
I agree. Then the whole thing could be surrounded by “EVIL”.
i third that…would have worked out a lot better especially with the 2 sections having to do with songs MEANT for kids and the songs APPROPRIATE for kids.
First!
fail.
win
EPIC
Nice, someone made an original and creative graph. Congrats kszczepanowski
Kidz Bop completely creeps me out. Most of the songs are horribly inappropriate songs to have kids singing.
Finally, something other than video games to blame for the way our children are turning out.
isn’t it nice that we blame everyone but the parents?
Didn’t you know? We only blame the parents in the rare case that said parents genuinely tried everything they could, and sincerely did their best to raise a well-balanced, disciplined child, and the kid still turned out to be a psychotic nut-job unfit for assimilation into the general populace.
Very true! Anybody up for changing that? It’s about time.
I certainly am.
Who buys Kidz Bop? The music is horrible.
Same people who buy Now!TWICM. but only those with kids.
I didn’t even want Kidz Bop when I was a kid. It’s probably just aunts and uncles who have no idea what to get a 10 year old for their birthday.
Fail: Kidz Bop remakes modern songs using kid singers. No modern songs fall into the red category. Therefore: an odd proportion of the graph is relocated to Kidz bop remakes of modern remakes of classic songs.
“No modern songs fall into the red category.”
….you don’t listen to much music, do you?
Probably nothing more than the unspeakable Disney channel “pop stars LIKEOMG.”
Whoever thought this cold-blooded parketing scheme would work should be run over very slowly with a truck full of screaming soccer moms. Know how to get kids to love and appreciate music? GIVE THEM *GOOD* MUSIC. Not this pathetic excuse for a cacophony of squealing voices.
So, Jimi Hendrix then?
No, no – Bob Marley, jeesh!
You would be surprised what kids actually know these days, unless they are 7 or under then they wouldn’t know.
How does that work? When kids turn 8, then they magically gain a wealth of experience pertaining to how crappy life can be? I know some 20-year-olds who don’t understand emotionally mature lyrics…I don’t know any 8, 9, 10, 11, 12-year-olds who do…
Kids have the appearance of maturity these days because they can use “adult language.” It doesn’t mean they have a more mature perspective on life…
How did you come up with 7 anyway?
The orange should be bigger.
Definitely more orange than red.
WTH “deep” kids bop songs are you talking about? Boom boom pow? Circus? Though I will admit, the emotional and physiological concepts brought up in Hoedown Throwdown are difficult to wrap my mind around.
Maybe it was back when popular music was good.
That would be before Kidz Bop was even thought of.
I can’t really understand/relate to most songs about psychological or emotional pain, so it’s not just a matter of being a kid. Sure, kids probably are less likely to have experienced such things, but it’s not like being an adult automatically means psychological and emotional issues. Fortunately.
I swear half the songs that have strong emotion in them loose all of it when played live.
They just look too happy on stage.
Finally i am so glad someone pointed this out..I thought i was the only one who felt these songs were soo inappropriate for kids.Some are ok but others not at all.
exactly!!!! wth is wrong with parents who’d let their kids sing these!
They are missing the songs that deal with one’s past that are compleatly silly for a kid to sing. My kid got some of the Happy Meal ones, and there are all these songs about adults looking back on when they were young.
This graph is so incredibly true.
However, I’m miffed about the misuse of “i.e.”, so here’s a grammar lesson for you:
i.e. stands for the Latin “id est”, meaning “that is”. It should be used for purposes of clarification or specification.
e.g. stands for the Latin “exempli gratia”, meaning “for the sake of example”. It should thus be used when listing an example, as in this graph.
Thank you.
Oh, wow. I’ve been using it wrong for years then. I’m an actuarial mathematics major, so I admit I am lacking in the proper grammar category.
But that’s pretty interesting; I’ll have to remember that!
That’s pretty awesome, actually. Though the name may be misleading, I’m a pure mathematics major
I’m also a Latin minor, which is the main reason I get so hung up on people mixing up the two abbreviations.
Again, though – nice graph! So sad, yet so true…
Hooray for learning!!!
The one that knocked me over was Bowling for Soup’s ’1985′, with such child-friendly lyrics as ‘One Prozac a day’ and ‘… shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake’s car’. That’s something I’d love to hear kids singing along to – a song about a woman’s mid-life crisis & her disillusionment with her soccer-mom lifestyle.
The one that got me was “Hey Ya.” Did they, I wondered, leave in the line about “I don’t want to meet your mama, I just want to make you come-a?”
Oh, and “Follow Me” by Uncle Cracker, where a guy is singing to the woman who’s cheating on her husband with him.
I should stop now.
*Thank you all*. I’m just delighted not to be the only person looking at the song list on the back of a KidzBop CD and thinking, “You. Must. Be. Kidding. Me.”
I would just make a solid circle of one color that says “crap” in the center.
FINALLY someone points out the fact that just because kids sing it, doesn’t make it appropriate for kids…
I’m doing a KidzBop parody with my sister-we’re doing ‘I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked’ and other songs like that.
i.e. != e.g.
i.e. = id est (that is)
e.g. = exempli gratia (for example)
get it right
Its really a awesome video and i am go with the green.. Its such a great video i like the concept of the video..
*scratches head* da heck is “Kidz Bop”?? is that old school slang for music that kids listen to or am i missing something?
I love how when I was a kid and got my first casette tape, “Dookie” by Green Day, my oarents had no problem when I sang the inapprpriate lyrics that weren’t swears I already knew. Now that I understand the lyrics, “I went to a whore./He said my life’s a bore,” gets me lectured as full-grown adult.
Something about 9-year-olds singing Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” creeps me out.
I WALK A LONELY ROAD…
XD
It’s better they don’t understand it…
Once they do, they won’t be able to enjoy it like they used to.
When I was younger, I didn’t have alot of cds or anything, but my parents bought me KidsBop. Then they started listening to it and wouldn’t let me listen to “Underneath It All” by No Doubt. I guess they took it badly.
XD
Good times.
i do not know how to make a kidz bop cd
I hate, hate, HATE Kidz bop. And I’m a twelve-year-old girl. In fact, my favorite band is Slim Cessna’s Auto Club. Ever herd of it? I didn’t think so. Wonderful, that’s what they are.
KIDZ BOP ROXXXXXXX!!!!!!!! I AM 10 YEARZ OLDD AND I ABSOLUTELY LUV KIDZ BOP!!! IT IZ MY LIFEEE!!! I CAN’T LIVE WIT OUT ITT!!!! WOOOO I’M GAY!!!!!!
