Some Alabama parents are upset about a track on the Kidz Bop 6 CD that is being given away with McDonald's Happy Meals. They say the supposedly kid-friendly version of Gavin De Graw's "I Don't Want To Be" includes the F-word. The Boaz, Alabama McDonald's has pulled the potentially offending CD from the Happy Meals after parents complained. One parent told station WAFF-TV: "In the song the word is supposed to be 'looking,' but they're saying the f-word with the -ing on the end." (Friending? Finding? Frying? No, not those...)
Sounds pretty innocuous, right? Then parents started listening to the free CDs. Some thought they heard something they didn't expect on the Kidz Bp cover version of Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want To Be." What were they hearing? Well, there are a couple of options.
Here's the original lyric from DeGraw's tune (emphasis added):I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do You can watch the video for the song here; the lyric in question occurs about 45 seconds in.What some parents think they hear on the Kidz Bop disc is the following:I'm tired of f**king 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do.

Joe I went to the link listed and there is nothing wrong with the song...... however if you read the posts on that video it tells you this is not the version in question. I did some searching around and found another version on youtube with kids singing along. THIS version it really does sound like they are using the f-word. Here is the link to that video

I heard "looking" on that version; but I don't know that that's the one on the McD CD
a friend of mine got the cd in question at the Mcdonalds in Fruitland. We both listened to the cd and it does sound like the "f" word is being used. we both looked at each other because we couldn't believe what we had just heard. Needless to say the cd went directly into the trash.
The link that u put on says CLEARLY looking. Now think about it for a minute. If kids are singing it instead of Gavin DeGraw then it may sound like the F word. But he is not saying that at all!!!
Trust me the food at McDonalds is doing more damage to those kids more then the song is...
lol im sure the parents are upset about the cd having the f word in it and there kid having to hear it i guess the other 20,000 times the kids parents used the f word in front of the child is ok hypocrite country
msl
LOL Matty Law....these same innocent kiddies will be listening to rap songs about "smacking their b*tches" in a few years and the same parents will not have a clue.
just listened to it and you have to be completely stupid to think that it drops the f bomb i mean come on the new spears song is if you seek amy? and we are worried about a possible f bomb? come on people
