Parents not lovin' McDonald's Kidz Bop CD

BOAZ, AL (WAFF) - Concerned parents said that the lyrics in a song included with a kids' meal has an offensive word that's left a bad taste in their mouths.

McDonald's has several Kidz Bop CD's that they've handed out in their Happy Meals. On Monday afternoon, one grandmother took her two grandchildren to a Boaz McDonald's for lunch. But what was inside their bags left her anything but happy.

The Kidz Bop CD No. 6, song 1 is a cover of the song "I Don't Wanna Be," originally by Gavin DeGraw. The parents said the word in question appears about 52 seconds in, during the chorus.

"In the song the word is supposed to be looking, but they're saying the f-word with the -ing on the end," said one parent.

1. I remember when I was a teenager, my mom was convinced Peter Gabriel was saying "Fuck the Monkey"
Not only that, the Clash were singing about how they wanted to "Fuck the Casbah, Fuck the Casbah"

Ah, the delightful Mondegreen.

8. My favorite was that "I'm your penis" song ("I'm your Venus")
And then there was:

"I've got a penis,
I've been hiding,
Under my jeans."

"My heart is beating,
My blood is boiling,
My brain IBM."

7. It does sound like he saying "fucking" but that's NOT in the original lyrics to the song.
The actual line is "I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do"

Besides, would the kids in the background really be singing along to that without anyone noticing?

9. Remembering in grade school how "Really love your peaches wanna shake your tree"
would puzzle my pre-adolescent brain. I knew it was suggestive, but wasn't sure how.
