Can we please just allow the F-word (for politeness until it is legal) once and for all - you couldnt' say 'diarrhea' on TV at one time and look at us now! Doesn't anyone realize when you let the words out you take away their awesome power? I mean who says 'damn' anymore and gets a second look.

FREE THE U.S. LANGUAGE FROM TYRANNY!!!!!

1. well how am i supposed to be able to tell when they bleep it out....

i hate those kidz bop cds anyway. how annoying. i wouldn't want to hear me singing the song....i'd much prefer hearing the actual artist sing it, frankly. i know that is not the point, and my daughter likes it. she can listen to it when i am not around.

4. Here you are.

5. wow. I wouldn't want that in my kids meal either

I'm not a prude but having that in a kid's meal is wrong. Sure, you can listen to it all you want but it's not for kids

[bbernardini]

7. What, you have a problem with the word "looking"? nt

[sarah FAILIN]

16. It doesn't sound like "looking" at all.

It doesn't matter what it's supposed to be, it's what it sounds like. Maybe the singer just didn't enunciate well but it sounds bad to me.

[ejpoeta]

15. wow! that does sound like f*ck! but i bet when they sang it it was look.

i could see how somone could say look and it sound different. kids.... they talk with marbles in their mouths. someone should have checked the song and heard that before they sent it out. LOL! not the people that probably sat there listening to the kids ling it 10 times either... someone else.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

19. Wow, sounds like the F-bomb to me...

As opposed to the original, which clearly sounds like "looking".

I would be upset if my kids got got that in ANY promotional giveaway, but even MORE upset if they had only just EATEN a happy meal.
l
BTW, great tune IMO.

2. They just bleeped the word 'looking?'

:rofl:

3. Alabama and Texas - Standard Bearers of American Culture

Thank you, thank you Texas and Alabama. The children of the world are now safe. You may now put down your guns and return to bible thumping and dinosaur denial.

[AverageJoe]

8. Proud Alabama Democrat here

I guess there are no backward, right wing nuts in your state, eh? Must be nice.

[scentopine]

22. My state is Texas

My Governor is Rick "Jefferson Davis" Perry. We spend a lot of time in the Texas leg trying to figure out how to teach the christian bible in schools, how carry guns in schools and bars, and whether or not dinosaurs should be taught as an unproven "theory" and given equal time with beasts described in the bible. We also find time to discuss succession from the United States. We fired a teacher for taking children to a Dallas art museum that had a painting showing a woman's breast. We also fired the education secretary for emailing colleagues about an academic discussion about evolution.

I don't believe in "My Country Right or Wrong" loyalty oath against criticism, satire or sarcasm. All of the above is true and the trends are well documented.

People need to call it what it is. And Texas is a redneck good ol boy, corporate loving, civil liberty hating state. Last time I checked Alabama wasn't breaking any new ground for democrats and they are also doubling down on right wing policy and christian politics.

No apologies.

[Hissyspit]

6. Come on now. It's CLEARLY...

Lucifer speaking backwards. The word 'fucking' played backwards sounds like 'give thee over to me thou eternal virgin soul.' Well, either that or 'cufflinks.'

[tomm2thumbs]

11. cufflinks?

bwahahahahahaha!!!!

[Earth Bound Misfit]

21. You're a TWISTED individual.

I like that about you. :fistbump:

[Hissyspit]

24. Damn, I try to hide it.

:D

[time_has_come]

9. Sounds like "I'm tired of look around" to me. nt

[pitchforksandtorches]

10. They are called Crappy Meals

N/T

[OswegoAtheist]

12. exactly!

If the CD with the bad word on it is the worst thing in the bag/box, we'll be in good shape.

Oswego "Mom, they didn't put extra cheese on my apple dippers!" Atheist

[evilkumquat]

13. Goddammit. I was looking forward to scoffing...

...but son of a bitch it DOES sound like "fucking".

I listened to the audio twice, and while I accept the official explanation that the singer actually said "tired of looking", his poor phrasing slurred "of looking" together enough to be phonetically comparable to "fucking".

Goddammit. And I fucking HATE these prudish morons who hear evil sounds in innocent recordings.

At least this time Islam wasn't bandied around.

[RufusTFirefly]

14. What's the big deal?

If you're buying your kids Happy Meals, you're already fucking with them. This just makes it official.

[DemzRock]

17. This is very suspect...

The KIds Bop Series has been around a long time. My daughter might even have that one somewhere. I think they're up to Kids Bop 12 or higher by now. I really doubt no one noticed the F word until now if it's really on there!



Edit: official lyrics say "looking"

Still looking for the Kids Bop version...

[Earth Bound Misfit]

25. Reply # 4 has a short "fv#$ing" version

ETA: 30 second audio containing the "naughty bits"---5 seconds in.

"Naughty Bits"

[stlsaxman]

18. With large amounts of audio compression you can make "apple" sound like

"antidisestablishmentarianism", and besides- "Happy Meals" are child abuse,
as is subjecting them to garbage music like this and raising them to believe it has merit.

"Hey, c'mon- that new Hanna Montana single
is clearly in league with Stravinsky's Firebird
and Beethoven's 9th!?!"

[DemzRock]

20. Hmmm....

Yes, it's probably bad studio work. Or bad remixing?

You know these albums are Studio albums sung by Kidz Bop Kids!

I REALLY doubt that the F word would slip by everyone involved with this and wouldn't have been noticed for years.

[knitter4democracy]

23. STBX got that for the kids. Um, maybe I should listen to it.

I saw it when they got back from his house, and DS asked me to put it on his ipod. I think I'll leave that song off.
