Hey, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Some days don’t end with Kidz Bop covering Usher, but some days–and this day in particular–definitely do.
The DJ at my old bowling alley was named DJ Romeo, so I really relate to this song. I particularly like when the kidz sing (or do they bop?) “dance like it’s the last night of your life.” Haha. You’re all nine-years-old. What do you know of mortality? What do you know of love for that matter? Ah well. Goodnight, children. I hope you live to see tomorrow.

What do any of us know of mortality? What do any of us know of love?
What do any of us know of Bopz?
The profundity of this comment, combined with the fact that I’m still listening to the bopz, created in me a solid 2 minutes of pure existential angst.
Takes me back.
Thanks to everyone for helping to make my birthday a good one!
Happy Birthday, Godsauce! Today is also Patton Oswalt’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Patton Oswalt!
He retweeted me once!
On behalf of young people, I’d like to apologize.
Aw man, you beat me and totally ruined my stupid joke! Well played, sir.
Son Of Gabe is a pretty good dancer.
I’m the curly haired kid in the yellow shirt.
I am in my 30′s and I have the same jacket the kid has on at :05. I thought that jacket was so cool when I bought it at H&M. I am such a loser.
“KIDZ Bop Kids?” Are you sure they’re not called The Pecan Sandies?
If those children don’t stop walking past the foul line, none of their shots are going to count.
“Why aren’t these children practicing piano or violin four hours a day??”
Things my children are not allowed to do:
- Sing KidzBop songs other than Usher songs
- Not sing Usher KidzBop songs
“And when you are done with your piano practice, it will be time to clean your rooms. That’s right, Kidz Mop!”
To be fair, we shouldn’t give her all the blame. Leopold Mozart was the original Tiger Mom.
This would have been a lot more entertaining if the kids from the Jogger video showed up.
So what really confuses me about this video is why they keep showing kids standing around pretending to play guitars and basses and stuff, when NO SUCH INSTRUMENTS EXIST IN THE SONG. I mean, I’m a crotchety old young man and have been grumbling for years about how no one in music videos bothers to sync their playing to the music anymore these days, but COME ON. Those instruments aren’t even in the song. UGH.
I, for one, am excited to see the Kidz Bop version of “YYZ”
“Are you talkin’ about, like, did you mean that song from Guitar Hero?” -Kidz
UGH. Kidz today. Need to get off my goddamn lawn.
If Kidz Bop existed just a little bit earlier in human history, they could have done something clever with that… something about Generation X Plays YYZ… I don’t know.
Besides, I think this kid already has it covered:

Requiem for the musical entertainment AND moral lessons from Kids, Incorporated.
Kids today don’t know anything about the way it used to be.
Looks like we made it for:

KIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSS INCORPORAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTEEDDDDDDDD!
Fergie feels your pain.
“Thank you, DJ! Hur-hur…”
“Being in a Kidz Bop video is something I dreamed about my whole life.” – Every one of those kids
Once again the internet police ruin everything.
To diss Kidz Bop is to reject “Kidsongs” and “Kids Incorporated.” I can’t do that. I just can’t.
It’s still not half as creepy as the Mini-Pops were

None of them kids are going to be as amazing as this guy:
Does anyone mind if I recycle a BNPG I started on twitter? You DO! OK, well here it is anyways:
Kidzbop 2011
“Who reupholstered your tushy?”
“let’s make a toast for the book-bags, let’s make a toast to game consoles”
“I eat my turnips & my asparagus”
“I’m going to need to see your hands at the concert (to make sure you’ve washed them thoroughly).
“Magnets, how do they work? Seriously, I’m only seven, I have no idea.”
On second thought, I’m pretty sure I knew how magnets worked when I was seven.
“I’m scared of mother fucking monsters.”
“Who will turn 5 in America? Who will turn 5 in America?”
“If the businessmen, they drink my blood. Like the kids in pre-school said they would.”
That was awful, I’m sorry.
I’m lost in the mall
I’m fell off my bike
I’m building a Lego city
And I’m down for the night
“All of the night lights.”
Turn up the lights in here, I’m a baby
Extra bright, I want y’all to see my bib
“and I was like baby, baby, baby oh.”
“No one kid should have all that juicebox”
“Brush my teeth in the morning with a bottle of Kool-Aid”
OR
“Let’s have a snack for the Beanbags
Let’s have a snack for the book Holes”
“Choke a Blue’s Clues writer with a pacifier.”
Hate to say it but Gabe is wrong on this one. When I was 9 I remember having a deep conversation about mortality with my bike on my way home from swim practices, that and racing birds.
They’re just trying to capitalize on a certain person’s cover of “Love in This Club”.
As a British person, I am unfamiliar with this Kidz Bop; is this Glee: The Wonder Years?
Yes, yes it is.
It’s essentially little kids covering all the NOW compilations.
Is this week over yet? This whole week has been a little rainbow pinwheel just spinning and spinning. Every day is like waking up from a dream into another dream, except the dreams are SO DULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Leave it to 9 year olds to ruin one of the BEST songs of all time.
i don’t care how much my (as yet unborn) kids beg, they will never, ever be allowed to listen to this. Automatic grounding if I find it on their ipods (or whatever music playing chip implant they may have).
1. Who let these kids in the “club”? The blind bouncer?

2. What do these kids know about feeling like a zombie at the end of the week? Was learning multiplication tables difficult this week? Recess have you feeling jaded? Get a job, lazy kids!
3. Does D.A.R.E. exist anymore in the school system?
4. This is what happens when kids start “boping”:
And we all know what #4 leads to:
“The kids aren’t bopping anymore Frank. They’re banging each other and doing meth before grade school.” -Mac
I’m worried about these kids, you guys.
oh fuck, they have kidz bop videos on youtube now? This will make my house parties 1.5x more cool/hip
Can kids only listen to songs sung by other kids now??
See, this is what’s wrong with this country. Those kids should be sewing clothes in a dark factory or surrounded by sharp objects and harmful chemicals making Apple products. Shame.
I’m glad they identified themselves as “Kidz Bop” at the beginning; otherwise, I would have thought Usher had turned into a chorus of children.
Just in case you were wondering what the exact opposite of this song would be, I read this entry while listening to Tom Waits’s “Day After Tomorrow.”
Is it bad that this is just one of many songs I can’t listen to now without imagining Keenan lip-synching to it?
KEENANNNNNNNNN
