The Cover Changes the Meaning | |
| Kidsongs / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning: Done quite often. One instance is "The Yellow Rose of Texas" from "I Can Dance!"; the "rose" mentioned is the singer's love interest. The show changes its lyrics to make it a dance. "Turkey in the Straw" from "Home on the Range" was vastly changed to make it more of a square dance. "In the Good Old Summertime" from "I Can Do It!" had its nature changed from a love song to a song literally about having fun in the summer, with two extra verses added. | |

Scenery Porn | |
| Kidsongs / int_49d59be9 | comment |
Scenery Porn: Manages to slip in occasionally, especially in the older videos. "Cars, Boats, Trains, and Planes": The carousel is breathtaking to look at, as are the many hot air balloons, most likely due to the beautiful lighting and editing effects. "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" boasts marvelous, if not entirely realistic, Christmas scenery, but one standout has to be the fantasy shots in "If I Had A Pony For Christmas". | |

You Look Familiar: An in-universe example (see Trivia page for more info). The 4th season of the Kidsongs TV Show has the kids recognize the waltz dancing instructor in their "Don't You Just Love to Waltz?" video was their current programming director Mr. Frost. He confirms that was indeed him. | |

Girls vs. Boys Plot: The song sequence for "Anything You can Do I can Do Better" takes place at the amusement park in "Ride The Roller Coaster"; the girls and the boys compete in a series of arcade games, basically alternating victories. | |

I'm Going to Disney World!: A few of the videos were taped at Universal Studios Hollywood. The credits of said videos feature the cast dancing around the fountain and taking the tram tour. (Rather odd, since this was produced by Warners.) | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| Kidsongs / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: As mentioned under the Bowdlerise entry, the version of the novelty song "The Thing" used in Very Silly Songs changes the penultimate verse to describe the main character being chased out of town because of his inability to give the box to anyone, when the original version of the song told of the narrator dying after his years of being stuck with the box and attempting to enter Heaven, only for St. Peter to make him go to Hell for having the box with him. | |

Singing Voice Dissonance | |
| Kidsongs / int_9c5ed17 | comment |
Singing Voice Dissonance: At least in early videos. At times it sounds as though many of the adult actors are lip-syncing to the same few singers. Sometimes, the kids' singing appears to be provided by an adult female. | |

Time for Plan B: In "A Day at Camp", "On Top of Spaghetti" is set up by some campers and a counselor intending and trying their best to catch fish for the camp's lunch and the counselors getting together and deciding to serve spaghetti when that plan flops. | |

As Himself | |
| Kidsongs / int_a5e0c01 | comment |
As Himself: It's safe to say that all the kids played themselves, but the most notable one is Chris Finch. Downplayed in "Good Night, Sleep Tight" and "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" where some of the kids are given character names. "A Day at Old McDonald's Farm" may have at least one—the girl referred to as Mary may not in fact be named Mary. | |

Show Within a Show | |
| Kidsongs / int_c2393191 | comment |
Show Within a Show: In both formats, the show involves the kids working on a television show which recycles footage from the music videos. However, the types of studios they're in vary depending on the programs. In the 1987 syndicated series, the kids find an abandoned studio that for some reason was left unlocked, whereas in the 1994 PBS reboot, they instead go to a regular working television station and ask the executives there, Mrs. Wilson (general manager) and Mr. Forbes (director of programming), for permission to use their studio facilities. | |
