So I recently listened to some Kidz Bop because I'm a masochist, and I just can't handle the lyrics.
Example, this is Kidz Bop version of Thank U, Next.
I don't know what I expected but this one is definitely the worst lyric I've ever heard from a Kidz Bop song.
"I know they say I move on too fast, but this one gon' last"
"'Cause her name is my name, and I'm so good with that"
What the f**k? If you don't want to tell your name, then why don't change the lyrics?
Anyways, what's your opinion on the worst Kidz Bop lyrics?

the counting stars cover changes the "i feel something so right by doing the wrong thing" lyric to "right thing", you may as well throw the whole bridge away

Great thread. A few that I remember offhand...
"Yes we do the cooking, yes we do the cleaning, yes we keep the music real loud for your singing" - "Hey Mama"
"You used to call me on my cell phone, anytime you need to talk / I know when that hotline bling, I can only say one thing" - "Hotline Bling"

All of Thrift Shop. ALL OF IT.
Oh yeah, and this overlooked very insensitive gem from Wake Me Up When September Ends:
Like THE TIME HAS come to pass

EW did a ranking of the 10 most ridiculous Kidz Bop lyric changes in 2014, and the champ to that time was "Timber" (Pitbull/Ke$ha)
Original: Club jumping like LeBron now/Volí!/Order me another round/Homie!"
KB: "Club jumping like Kidz Bop now/Yeah!/Dance with me, we’re going round/Homie!"
What's especially funny--or ridiculous--is that Ke$ha's line "Let's make a night you won't remember" was unchanged.

Here's a recent one that completely obliterates the meaning of the original just by changing the first verse.
Hey Look Ma, I Made It - Panic! At The Disco
All my life, been hustling
And tonight is my appraisal
'Cause I'm a hooker sellin' songs
And my pimp's a record label
This world is full off demons
Stocks and bonds and bible traders
So I do the deed, get up and leave
A climber and a sadist, yeah
The Kidz Bop edit:
All my life, been working and tonight is my appraisal
'Cause I'm a singer sellin' songs and I'm on a record label
This world is full off demons
Stocks and bonds and all the traders
So I sang my song, get up and leave
A climber and the bravest, yeah
They did what had to be done, I guess, and it is not necessarily a bad lyric change (besides substituting 'bible traders' with 'all the traders' for some reason), but the premise of the song completely changes, even if the rest of the lyrics remain the same.

All the references to race and sexuality are taken out. I mean, I guess the latter for those Christian moms, but all the race references? What exactly is offensive about that-Christian Moms never mind.

Their cover of Glad You Came makes no sense whatsoever. They obviously substituted "drink" for, well, you know...
"Hand you another dance, dance it if you can, can you spend a little time?"
How the frick do you hand someone a dance?!?!
