Amid manically glittering lights and a bunch of kids bopping in all sorts of school-centric locations (homage to "...Baby One More Time"?) are changed lyrics, to bowlderize the Lady Gaga song for young ears. These include:

• "you and me should dance alone" for "you and me should be alone"
• "you should hang with me... tonight" for "you're who should take me home... tonight"
• "I need a boy that thinks it's right to sing alone, tonight, yeah, baby" for "I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong, tonight, yeah, baby" (this one seems vague enough to have been child appropriate?)

Offensive-seeming lyric kept in place for "Kidz Bop":

• "another shot before we kiss the other side"

Future "Kidz Bop" singles may or may not include Kidz Bop's "Darling Nikki," about a girl who loves to read magazines, and Kidz Bop's "Justify My Love," about a class field trip to Paris.
