Batman doesn't use guns, and neither did I. I did, however, leave as soon as my boss quit cause she was the only reason I was staying.
However, when I stubbed my toe once, I did put the music on repeat to help drown the pain.

We sold an ASSLOAD of music. Parents of kids that are to old for Raffi but to young for the real shit really loved what we did. As I said in another comment, it helped parents and kids enjoy something together. The parents loved the original songs, so they could sing with the kids. You'd be surprised how many people love Kidz Bop.

Oh man. You know, I didn't have that much interaction with them picking the songs. There was basically 1 guy who chose most of the music, then recorded it. Then it got passed off to us in marketing to promote it.
The whole idea (at least back then) was to pick whatever was hot at the moment and redo it. We would joke about doing REALLY inappropriate stuff, but never really went through with it because, well, it'd be controversial.
Of course, when you're turning sex fueled pop songs into children's hits, everything will be controversial.
Sorry if that's not the answer you were looking for.

It was a job! I had just moved to NY to work in the music business and the label was the only one to offer me a paid internship as I was starting out. I moved into KB full time in 2007 because my boss kicked ass.
