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.
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Oh, raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Keep a-fallin'
Cause I just done me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Oh, raindrops keep fallin' on my head
Keep a-fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness
Comes up to greet me
To greet greet greet greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
Cause I ain't gonna stop the rain by complaining
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
Cause I ain't gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
Because I'm free
Nothing's bothering me
The lyrics of Kidz Bop's "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" describe the feeling of helplessness and frustration of someone who cannot escape the constant rain pouring down on them. The opening line, "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head," sets the tone for the song's overall message: a sense of defeat and annoyance. The songwriter then likens this feeling to that of a man whose feet are too big for his bed, emphasizing how nothing seems to fit right or be comfortable.
However, despite the difficulties they are facing, the singer refuses to give in to sadness and despair. They have had a conversation with the sun and expressed their dissatisfaction with the current state of things. They lament the sun's lack of action and the constant rain falling on them. The line "sleeping on the job" indicates that the sun is not doing enough to change the situation.
Yet, the singer remains optimistic that happiness will eventually come. They suggest that the "blues" (sadness or depression) won't defeat them and that soon enough, they will experience joy and contentment. The repeated phrase "to greet me" highlights this hopefulness.
In the final verse, the singer declares that crying and complaining won't stop the rain, and instead, they choose to remain free from negativity and unbothered by the rain. This conclusion reflects the idea that sometimes we cannot control external factors, such as the weather, but we do have control over our attitude and perspective.
