ugh, there are 11 of them?!

so today i am going to talk about a... plague that has taken over. some "genius" had an idea about a niche of the music market that hadn't been explored. you know what came out of it? KIDZ BOP. this is seriously one of the most disturbing things i have seen. i thoroughly HATE this product. it creeps me out to no end. in theory it seems like a brilliant idea. i think not. you get kids, CHILDREN, to sing popular songs. on paper, sure that seems great. but the songs they have these kids sing! oh my god. gnarls barkley's "crazy" (11), fuel's "bad day" (10), black eyed peas "pump it" (10, and i yeah, um, ever read the lyrics?), weezer's "beverley hills" (9), green day's "boulevard of broken dreams" (8), bowling for soup's "1985" (7), britney spears's "toxic" (6), jet's "are you gonna be my girl" (6), outkast's "hey ya" (5), dobie gray's (i think thats right) "drift away" (4), j.lo's "jenny from the block" (4), jimmy eat world's "the middle" (3), pink's "dont let me get me" (3), 3 doors down's "kryptonite" (2), ricky martin's "livin la vida loca" (1), blink-182's "all the small things" (1), and soooooooooooo many others.
does this disturb anyone else? now, im not about censoring music or not letting kids listen to certain things. mostly because i think its up to the parents to decide, and educate their children about what they are listening to, and what they issues are, so on and so forth. BUT, when you have kids singing these songs, thats just a totally different level. now im assuming that they change some of the lyrics. i mean, god i would HOPE so, seeing as some of the songs i listed discuss things that aren't meant for children. i dont know it just really creeps me out. i get that kids are attracted to music even if they dont know what the lyrics mean, i know as a kid i did the same thing. i was a HUGE fan of garth brook's "ive got friends in low places" and didnt have a clue about what he was talking about. but to have kids singing to other kids these songs, makes them think its okay... and its really not. maybe its because i dont have kids. but i think if i heard some kid singing "livin la vida loca" i would be shocked. ::shudder:: it just freaks me out to noooooooo end. yet at the same time, im slightly intrigued and im tempted to see if they have it at the library, just so i can be thoroughly creeped out, and at the same time say that at least i listened to it, even if its after i publish this.
oh god. it just creeps me out so much. like leering old guy across the street from a playground creepy. EW.
