Concerned parents have flooded McDonalds with complaints about one of the CDs the company has been giving out with its Happy Meals. McDonalds has been giving out several Kidz Bop CDs, popular songs resung by kids, as its Happy Meal toy giveaway item. One of the CDs includes Gavin DeGraw’s “I Don’t Wanna Be.” Some parents have complained that the lyric, “I’m tired of looking around” sounds exactly like “I’m tired of f*ing around.”
McDonalds insists that the lyrics are not profane, and that customers are simply misunderstanding them. They have refused to pull the CDs from circulation and will continue to give them out with Happy Meals.
You can decide for yourself by listening to the Kidz Bop version:
I would assume McDonalds wouldn’t want to have any objectionable content in their Happy Meals. But, oh wait, they already include imported South American beef in their hamburgers, so I guess they must be okay with objectionable content.
