"Kidz Bop" nixed Quavo and Chance the Rapper's contributions to the song, deciding that Lil Wayne's verse would be the easiest to censor and keeping his "don't make me catch a body" line but wisely cutting his reference to a companion who "When she on the molly she a zombie," replacing it with "when she hear this song she dances crazy." "California Gurls," Katy Perry Under the purview of the Kidz Bop Kids, Mars' condo in Manhattan is less a carnal kingdom and more like summer camp, with his plans for "sex by the fire at night" transforming into a "hang by the fire at night," and his "drop it for me" commands turning into "sing it with a friend." Lipa's "new rules" for warding off her ex, most of which have to do with avoiding drunken hookups, get a squeaky-clean makeover courtesy of the Kidz Bop Kids, who transform her warning that "you know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning" to the cheerier "you know you're gonna meet up with your friends in the morning."Īs much as the Kidz Bop Kids playfully huff and puff in the background of their "Lose My Breath" vocals, that doesn't change the explicit nature of the bedroom behavior that Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle were originally describing, with their version keeping original lyrics like "Need a lifeguard and I need protection / To put it on me deep in the right direction."

To celebrate the release of Kidz Bop 38 on July 13 – featuring cleaned-up versions of Drake’s “God’s Plan” and Bruno Mars and Cardi B’s “Finesse” – take a look back at the most amusingly inappropriate pop hits to get the "Kidz Bop" treatment, and the raunchiest lines they edited out.
