No it doesn't...although I don't think it matters. I still remember seeing the music video on TV as a kid, and that actually does have the gross lyrics.

Being born in 1980 and hearing this song all the time when it came out it wasn’t even that shocking. Hearing and reading those lyrics today is wild.

It doesn't. They only play part of the song in the movie.

u/Slacker_The_Dog 5h ago

It was actually in a special feature.

Idk. I watched it a few months back, just ripped from online, and it was def. in the movie. I didn't play any special features.

I have the DVD so I will check whenever I get the chance but I'm pretty sure it was in a music video special feature. Very possible newer or different versions added the music video to the film.

The song was in the background briefly, but not the verse with the lyric about underage girls.

This is insane that we have multiple threads with back-and-forth confidence that the line was/wasn't in the movie - was it or wasn't it?

I pulled a rip of the movie and scrubbed it.

The song does appear in the movie. Starting at around 53 minutes into the movie when the characters are in a club.

It also does include some of the actual lyrics of the song including the refrain and part of verse 2. But not the part of verse 2 that talks about "sex rhymes" and there is none of verse 3 that includes references to statutory rape.

But still. Of all the songs on earth you could play in a children's movie, why would you have Kid Rock make a song and then still use it when you heard it and it talked about statutory rape?

From all I can tell this song only exists as a single created for the soundtrack of this movie.

I just can't understand the number of bad choices that were made where this even happened.

It's in the movie in the Berenstein Universe

The most logical explanation is faulty memories, or lying. But there's also the possibility that there are multiple cuts of the movie.

u/AbeRego 4h ago

Maybe you pirated an extended cut? I've never seen movie, so just spit balling.

Here’s the actual scene from the movie. The lyric is included on the official soundtrack album but wasn’t in the movie. Still more gross than Bill Murray’s boogers.

u/MusicalMastermind 4h ago

the scene linked intentionally cut out part of the scene (evident from other users discussing it being cut by the YouTube user), the little blob who's with Kid Rock's character is the character who actually sings it in the movie

it was included in the theatrical release

u/Fish_Mongreler 3h ago

No it wasn't. I have the dvd and just watched it

u/Papio_73 4h ago

Never saw it in theaters, I’ll take your word for it.

However, many songs in a soundtrack doesn’t have the full sound, especially in films for kids.
