K-tel Records Releasing New Woke Versions of Rock’s Greatest Hits!
By Claudia Stavola
The compilation will be called Woke-n-Roll Hits Your Kids—and people from Africa, and the Middle East, and Europe, and India, and All Nations We Can’t Fit Here, But We Don’t Want to Leave Anybody Out—Can Love. You’ll recognize all your favorite jams rerecorded by the original artists (maybe) with safe-space titles and lyrics.
You’ll hear remakes of all the classics, and then want to drive off a cliff when your kid is singing along while stroking their therapy skunk. But you want to seem like a hip, understanding parent, so you’ll go along with remakes of “Paint It Black” with Mick and the boys singing, “I see a red entryway…” (not everybody has doors…especially in the Amazon) “…and I want to paint it a shade of beige that goes with everything.”
And who could forget Mötley Crüe’s hit, “Smokin’ in the Boys Room”? They realize most of their fans are dead from poor decisions, so they need to appeal to the whippersnappers. They have a new version of their top twenty hit renamed, “Vapin’ in the Gender-Neutral Bathroom.”
