I remember my best friend and I trying to learn all the words to Genie in a Bottle in 4th grade. We sat on the phone for hours listening, pausing, and writing them down and then memorizing them.

It wasn't until late high school or maybe even college when I realized wtf we'd been singing out.

That said, I would feel the same way as the OP! Not a fan of little kids signing songs about crap like that.
