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.

Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I can't keep out, got me singing like
Na, na, na, na, everyday
It's like my iPod's stuck on replay, replay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singing like
Na, na, na, na, everyday
Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall with your friend
I was scared to approach you
But then you came closer
Hopin' you would give me a chance
Who would have ever knew
That we would ever be more than friends
We are worldwide breakin' all the rules
She like a song played again and again
(That girl)
Like somethin' off a poster
(That girl)
Is the one, they say
(That girl)
Like somethin' off a poster
She's running through
My mind all day
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singing like
Na, na, na, na, everyday

Shawty's like a melody in my head

Na, na, na, na, everyday
It's like my iPod's stuck on replay, replay
See you been all around the globe
Not once did you leave my mind
We talk on the phone from night till the morn
Girl, you really changed my life
Doing things I never do
I'm in the kitchen cooking things she likes
We're real worldwide breakin' all the rules
Someday I wanna make you my wife
(That girl)
