After nearly six years producing albums that featured pre-teens singing covers of mildly inappropriate pop songs, the makers of Kidz Bop announced today that they have officially sold their souls to the devil and abandoned all pretense with the planned release of Kidz Bop 21: The Christina Aguilera Collection.

“We’ve been making parents and sane adults uncomfortable for years with the songs we’ve chosen to cover,” said Kidz Bop producer and co-founder, who goes simply by the name Lucifer.

“Britney Spears’ Toxic, Hinders’ Lips of an Angel, Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend…the damage we’ve done to these children’s lives is impossible to quantify. It’s fun to try, but it’s impossible.”

The album’s debut single, Dirrty, originally scheduled for release on 6/6/06 before production delays, will hit stores the next Friday the 13th, which is in June 2008. The album will be released the following week.

“With the ‘Christina’ collection, we’re confident that we are helping to ruin civilization as we know it,” remarked producer Joe Stalin.

“It feels good.”
