Isn't Jacko featured on their rendition of "Michael"? He likes to dance.

Aww, the kid vocals wimped out on all the violent-image lines in the intro. At least they sort of made up with it with the "whoo"s and "okay"s.

this is off topic, but i need to vent this:

bloc party - pioneers !!!!!!!

"we promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for."

i used to never believe the hype, but now i'm confused. does this mean the strokes are the new velvet underground?

That was insane. "Since You Been Gone" and "Float On" were odd, but this has a creepy sex offender vibe. Who thought this would appeal to children?

If I were to right now leave my cubicle, throw myself through the glass, and plummet 19 floors to my death, there isn't a version of CSI where some impossibly attractive technician wouldn't check out my browser history, listen to this download, and spend the rest of the episode trying to determine not if the song drove me to madness -- that point is obvious -- but whether or not it was the "with you...woo..." or their fifth "take me ouuuuuuuuut!" which caused the deed.

Now, mind you, I'm not going to do this. I, in fact, love it. But a man who was not already a tad bit insane may have been driven over this age at the shock.

Seriously, wtf wtf wtf -- I feel like I'm breaking 18 laws just listening. Where the hell is Helen Lovejoy when you need her? Won't somebody think of the children, indeed.

No, you made this up, This CANNOT be real! This was just a weird prank that someone played and you decided to put on this site.

I don't think that I can ever listen to the real version of this song ever again.

Yes, a very sad day for FF fans. Not only does "Take Me Out" now remind me of Anglican priest scandals and Sunday Schools, but FF's new song suck cock-flavoured lollypop.
(Yes, I stole it from Dodgeball).

how can people actually think this mindless pablum is good for your children? if they like the song, just buy them the real damn CD instead of this homogenized crap. i'd rather my kids hear a swear word here and there then having them think everything in the world is sugar coated. a pox on you, kidz bop. oh, and making the s at the end of kids a z is really hardcore. anything else you'd like to annex to your exploitive corporate shell?
