History Headscratchers / KidzBop

* Why wasn't Music/FountainsOfWayne's "Stacy's Mom" on "5"?

* Why wasn't Drake's "Hold On, We're Goin' Home" on ''25''? It's cleaner than most of his other songs.

* Aside from Pete Wentz of Music/FallOutBoy, have any other artists ever reacted to Kidz Bop covering their songs? It'd be hard to imagine there'd be many musicians unaware, given the popularity of the franchise.

* Why is Kidz Bop starting to cover rap a lot more often if pop is their primary genre? They do have a history of covering rap songs if they have a poppy chorus, but recently they've gone beyond pop-rap territory and taken stabs at pure hip-hop, like "Mood", "God's Plan", and anything by Music/CardiB and Music/PostMalone.

* Why did Kidz Bop stop releasing two-disc deluxe versions of their albums after ''5''?

* Aside from Pete Wentz of Music/FallOutBoy, have any other artists ever reacted to Kidz Bop covering their songs? I can't imagine there'd be many musicians unaware, given the popularity of the franchise.
* Why did Pete Wentz prevent "Dance, Dance" from being included on ''Kidz Bop 10'' anyway if there's nothing objectively inappropriate about it aside from the "I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me" and "Why don't you show me a little bit of spine you've been saving for his mattress?" lyrics? If they got away with covering Music/BritneySpears' "Toxic" without changing a single lyric, I can't imagine why this would be too farfetched either.
* Why is Kidz Bop starting to cover rap a lot more often if pop is there primary genre? I know that they have a history of covering rap songs if they have a poppy chorus, but recently they've gone beyond pop-rap territory and taken stabs at pure hip-hop, like "Mood", "God's Plan", and anything by Music/CardiB and Music/PostMalone.

* What's the point of covering a song if it's entirely clean? The whole point of Kidz Bop is to alter any objectionable lyrics to make the songs kid-friendlier, so why cover a song if no edits are to be made?

* Why wasn't "Can't Feel My Face" on ''30''? Yes, it's about cocaine addiction, but Kidz Bop has reinterpreted several songs whose meanings are explicitly confirmed by their performers ("Cake by the Ocean" anyone?). Plus, it was nominated for a Kids' Choice Award and covered by Canadian imitator Mini Pop Kids. But most importantly it doesn't contain any explicit mentions of drugs in the lyrics, the worst things being references to death and being numb. Even the title can be reinterpreted as nothing beyond a SillyLoveSong.

* Aside from Pete Wentz of Music/FallOutBoy, have any other artists ever reacted to Kidz Bop covering their songs? I can't imagine there'd be many musicians unaware, given the popularity of the franchise?

* Why didn't "Hit the Quan" make it onto ''31'' if "Watch Me" and "JuJu on That Beat", similar novelty rap songs, made it onto ''30'' and ''36'' respectively?
