Thank you so much for posting this. My boyfriend and I heard this really late at night on the commercial for the new KidzBop CD and freaked out. We've been looking for this for weeks.

You're now being promised my first-born.

i can see now why they were so proud of their version of the song that they put it in the commercial. i'm waiting for their cover of 'somebody told me'. i think it shared the same level of ubiquity as 'float on'.

Even better - hearing little kids sing about sex with a prostitute in "She Will Be Loved"

Even better! The kids are singing about a guy who doesn't know how to have sex on "Lose My Breath".

Do the execs on this project do ANY of their research on these songs? doesn't seem like it.
