Eleven Kidz Bop albums have been released to date. Each album features different pop music songs, played with music similar to the original, and with the "Kidz Bop Kids" singing instead of the original artist. Albums are typically released within a few months of each other and thus the songs included tend to be the hit songs of the current time, including such songs such as "Float On" (Modest Mouse), "This Love" (Maroon 5), and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Green Day).
Although the albums are marketed as being "sanitized" versions of popular songs for children, many of the songs featured on the Kidz Bop albums still contain explicit sexual material, such as Rob Thomas's "Lonely No More," which some people consider inappropriate for younger audiences. Other featured songs, such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", contain profanity. Although the albums censor the actual word from the song, the context of the profanity remains. They also covered Green Day's hit "Wake Me Up When September Ends", which is about death.
The Kidz Bop video for their cover of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8r Boi", for instance, features the song being sung by a pre-teen girl in heavy make-up, fishnet stockings, and a Sex Pistols t-shirt.
Frosty the Snowman
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying, "Catch me if you can"
Frosty the snowman, frosty the snowman
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!"
Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day"
Frosty the snowman, frosty the snowman
Frosty the snowman, frosty the snowman
The song "Frosty the Snowman" is a beloved Christmas classic that tells the story of a magical snowman who comes to life. The lyrics begin with the description of Frosty as a "jolly happy soul" with a corncob pipe, a button nose, and eyes made of coal. The song goes on to explain that although Frosty is just a fairy tale, the children know how he came to life one day due to some magical "old silk hat" that was placed on his head.
As the song continues, Frosty is described as being just like any other child, able to laugh and play. He leads the children through the snow, joyfully thumping his way through the hills and streets with his broomstick. When the sun threatens to melt him away, Frosty hurries down to the village, encountering a traffic cop who tries to stop him. Frosty manages to escape, assuring the children he will be back again someday.
Overall, the song is an uplifting and magical tale that celebrates the joy and wonder of childhood imagination. It encourages children to believe in the impossible and embrace the holiday spirit.
