History WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids / Music

** After he was accused of child molestation in 1993, his work became DarkerAndEdgier and was no longer pushed to families, but he still presented himself as a FriendToAllChildren and his fans and estate push him as that to this day. It's come to the point that the fan-assembled video for the posthumous track "Behind the Mask" included a shot of a pint-sized Jackson fan grabbing ''his'' crotch.

** [[Music/{{Evanescence}} Evanescence's]] "Bring Me to Life" being about depression.

** Music/LinkinPark's "In the End", about depression and struggling to go on further in life.

* ''Music/KidzBop''. A number of songs that have been featured within that make you go "What the hell were they ''thinking, putting that in there?!''":

** [[Music/FloRida Flo Rida's]] "Club Can't Handle Me", "Wild Ones", "I Cry", "[=GDFR=]" and "My House", which are about sex, alcohol, hardcore partying and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick death]].
** [[Music/GreenDay Green Day's]] "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", which is about being disillusioned with life.
** [[Music/LanaDelRey Lana Del Rey's]] "Summertime Sadness". Wait, '''''WHAT?''''' Sure, the Kidz Bop version is based off the more well-known Cedric Gervais remix, but remixed or not, it's still a dark dirge about suicide.
** [[Music/EdSheeran Ed Sheeran's]] "Sing" made it to Kidz Bop 26. After all, nothing screams "kid-friendly" like a song about consuming copious amounts of alcohol and tobacco!]]

** [[Music/IggyAzalea Iggy Azalea's]] "Fancy". The alcoholism and materialism in the song makes "Sing" look tame.
** [[Music/FranzFerdinand Franz Ferdinand's]] "Take Me Out", despite the lyrics being subtle, is actually based on a pretty morbid event: the shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, whose death caused a little incident known as '''UsefulNotes/WorldWarI'''...
** [[Music/SamSmith Sam Smith's]] "I'm Not the Only One". Hey kids, here's a song about sadness and infidelity!
** [[Music/EllieGoulding Ellie Goulding's]] "Love Me Like You Do". That it was, you know, ''written for the movie of Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' makes its inclusion on a Kidz Bop album odd enough as it is, but even if you look past that, it's mostly about BDSM. At least they didn't touch "[[Music/TheWeeknd Earned It]]".

** Music/Linkin Park's "In the End", about depression and struggling to go on further in life.

** This is similarly done with K-Tel's Mini Pops Kids. For example, the lyrics in their version of Music/{{Kesha}}'s "Tik Tok" changes the line from "getting drunk" to "playing tag".

** [[Music/{{Evanescence}} Evanescence’s]] “Bring Me to Life” being about depression.
** [[Music/FloRida Flo Rida's]] "Club Can't Handle Me", "Wild Ones", "I Cry", "[=GDFR=]" and "My House", which are about sex, alcohol, hardcore partying and (in "I Cry"'s case) death.

** [[Music/LanaDelRey Lana Del Rey's]] "Summertime Sadness". Wait, '''''WHAT?''''' Sure, the Kidz Bop version is based off the more well-known Cedric Gervais remix, but, still, the song itself is a dark dirge about suicide.
** [[Music/EdSheeran Ed Sheeran's]] "Sing" made it to Kidz Bop 26. It may be due to Ed Sheeran's status as a TeenIdol towards girls, [[SarcasmMode but doesn't anything scream "kid-friendly" like a song about consuming copious amounts of alcohol and tobacco!]]

** [[Music/IggyAzalea Iggy Azalea's]] "Fancy". The alcoholism in the song makes "Sing" look tame.

** David Guetta's "Hey Mama" and Fifth Harmony's "Worth It" are on ''30'', adding onto Kidz Bop's long list of sexually-charged covers (and The Weeknd ''really'' dodged a bullet this time around, with "Can't Feel My Face" becoming the first #1 to not be covered since "The Monster".
** Music/Linkin Park’s “In The End” being about depression and trying so hard.
** Pete Wentz of Music/FallOutBoy actually called them on this, preventing "Dance, Dance" from being used for ''Kidz Bop 10'' due its sexual undertones.

** Elle King's X's and O's is another one in the 31st. The X's and O's referring to exes and orgasms.

** [[Music/Evanescence Evanescence’s]] “Bring Me to Life” being about depression.

** Music/Evenescence’s “Bring Me to Life” being about depression.
** Music/FloRida's "Club Can't Handle Me", "Wild Ones", "I Cry", "[=GDFR=]" and "My House", which are about sex, alcohol, hardcore partying and (in "I Cry"'s case) death.
** Music/GreenDay's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", which is about being disillusioned with life.

* Notorious Website/YouTube child singer [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MishaCZLP Mishovy "Misha" Šílenosti]] lists most of his songs as ([[InsistentTerminology FOR KIDS]]). And while most of his older songs are fine for kids, his recent stuff... isn't. He swears a lot, throws in harshly-worded {{Take That}}s, is infatuated about older women, and simply attempts to be an uneducated adult. Did we mention the kid who sings these is ''[[FromTheMouthsOfBabes 9 years old?]]''

* Music/MichaelJackson toes the line between this and {{WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids the opposite}}. He started out as a squeaky-clean child performer with the Jackson 5, a group that got their own Saturday morning cartoon, and as an adult cultivated a family-friendly FriendToAllChildren image. He narrated an ''E.T.'' storybook album, made ''Film/CaptainEO'' for the Ride/DisneyThemeParks, contributed songs to the first two ''Film/FreeWilly'' movies, starred in ''Theatre/TheWiz'' as Scarecrow, and frequently pushed messages of nonviolence, peace, and charity in his work. His 1993 UsefulNotes/SuperBowl halftime performance ended with him surrounded by hundreds of tykes as he sang "Heal the World". He was well aware that he was a hero to kids. Yet much of what he aimed at them was less than family-friendly by conventional standards.

* [[http://www.bubblegumdancer.com/project.php?id=23 Blue Monster and Bikki]] was, according to the Bubblegum Music database, a dance music project from Sweden aimed at children and young kids. It's even referred to as a mixture of Music/{{Aqua}} and Franchise/SesameStreet. However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNcJuOr8mXg the lone videoclip]] they released features, in order, an anchorman mentioning the eponymous furry monster "hasn't had sex in 3000 years", the monster drinking lots of alcoholic beverages and sporting a huge pixelated boner after seeing Bikki, a man falling face first into a girl's ample cleavage, and finally the monster whizzing blue pee with his big schlong all over the scientists who were trying to capture him, [[ViralTransformation turning them into other blue monsters]]. The page mentions that the producer thought that "we had some problems deciding the targeted age-group for the album". No shit, Sherlock!

* One of the few times where 20 Fingers and Gillette performed "Short Dick Man" uncensored was... [[https://youtu.be/okHz7CE8wp0 in a children's TV show in Brazil]]. The show's producers [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar probably knew about the lyrics but they didn't care because the children in the audience don't understand English]].

* SClub7 fell into this category with their last album ''Seeing Double''. Two songs in particular that stand out are:

* The French children's song "Alouette", when translated, is about plucking a bird's feathers off. It has been featured on everything from ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' to ''BarneyAndFriends''. One children's show, The Alvin Show, got past the true meaning of the lyrics by singing different English lyrics.

** "[[Music/TheChainsmokers Clo]][[Music/{{Halsey}} ser]]" made it onto ''34''. Enough said, really.

* Music/LemonDemon has Nature Tapes. Even though Lemon Demon has some cursing and violence, it is pretty clean for kids. But Nature Tapes has only 2 songs that are not explicit. Seriously, one of the lines in A Mask Of My Own Face is "A Handsome Motherfucker Motherfucking looking back at me"
** Stuck, a song about a man wanting to kill himself.
*** Amnesia was her name was about a man who had memory loss, having brain damage, thinking that he loved a girl and had sex with her. (The line is "I guess she didnt know how to treat me right, because I cant recall where I slept that night"

** "[[Music/TheChainsmokers Clo]][[Music/{{Halsey}} ser]]" will be on ''34''. Enough said, really.
