Dear KidzBop, These songs never were and never will be made for kids, no matter how much you change the lyrics…..or don’t change them.
"California Gurls" by Katy Perry
A big portion of this list is dedicated to the fact that so many popular songs nowadays are about sex in some way or another. Obviously, "California Gurls" is not as blatantly obvious as some (but trust me, we'll get to those), but a lot of the song is not necessarily "kid friendly". But never fear!!! KidzBop's got that covered!
Best "Substitution": The fact that they couldn't find any substitution for the second verse.

"Thrift Shop" by Mackelmore
On one hand, at least KidzBop actually seemed to try on this one (well, as best as they could). On the other hand.....it's kinda ridiculous......
Best "Substitution": "Probably shoulda washed this, smells like my baseball cleats. Eeewwww!"

"Royals" by Lorde
Ok, so this one's not that bad overall, it's mainly just the hook that leads up to the chorus. And of course, that is what makes the KidzBop-ified version so hilarious.
Best "Substitution": "But every song is like gold teeth, gold goose, singin' in the bathroom." (Because I can name at least 20 songs about magical golden geese and singing in the bathroom.)

"Tik Tok" by Ke$ha
"Yeah, I'm not really sure we can do a remake of 'Tik Tok'..."
"Excuse me?! We're KidzBop, dammit! We sing songs for kids, by kids! And if I say we're covering 'Tik Tok', THEN WE ARE GONNA COVER 'TIK TOK'!!!!!"
Best "Substitution": "Before I leave, brush my teeth, then I go and pack." (Aww, look at you being all responsible and worrying about your dental hygiene!)
