you know, i don't care that these things exist, because even though it's obvious that it sucks, kids like some stupid things. for instance, i had to watch a 4 year old girl the other day for a friend, so i got to see all the crappy shows that are on nowadays. the worst is this show called "lazytown". jesus christ, it's the worst thing i have ever seen. the main guy is this "super hero" called sporticus who's only real skill is the ability to do a lot of flips that contribute nothing to anything. i guess kids like it when creepy looking guys do lots of flips for no reason, because according to the youngster, her favorite part of the show is when that weird guy does flips. but god, it sucks.
anyways, the part that makes me laugh is when they take songs by bands that write their own music and put it on these kidz bop things. for instance, we'll look at some songs from kidz bop 6. does it strike anyone else a little queer that they are using songs by evanescence, jet, yellowcard and hoobastank? now, i don't really like any of these bands, in fact, i don't think any of these bands should continue to make music, but i would still like to hear how they feel about their songs being used in this fashion (although they'd probably say something like "yo dawg, it's dope"). they also use the song "burn" which is by usher i believe. now, i've never heard the song, but a quick google of the phrase "burn lyrics" gave me what i needed, and the thought of kids singing this is a little wierd:
"When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
but you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn "
so, in conclusion, kidz bop is stupid and that lazytown show on nick jr. sucks a lot.
