Wendys Pulls So Horny CD Lyrics from Restaurant Kids Meals

Wendy's has pulled its "Kids' Meal" Disco Fever CD previously bundled for the 3-and-up group--the fast food restaurant chain isn't copping to the "so horny" lyrics that spurned the pull.
 
One of the songs contained on the Disco Fever CD for the Wendy's Kids' Meal promotion is artist Donna Summer's "Last Dance". The "Last Dance" song has two sets of lyrics that were recorded. One of Summer's song versions includes the words "so bad."
 
Apparently some Kids' Meal CD recipients instead received Summer's alternative lyrics that contain the phrase "so horny"--while the CD had simultaneously been marked as safe for 3-year-old and older kids. It all depends on perspective of "safe".
 
At least some adults fear that their 3-year-old child will be differentiating rose bush stalks from a sexual innuendo. A visit to the "Kids' Meal" section of the Wendy's website offers up a nearly full-screen heading which reads: "A New Kids' Meal Experience". Wendy's isn't saying why the previous CD inclusion has had the boot, or why the chain's "Kids' Meal" is having a "new" experience.
 
The Wendy's chain, based in Atlanta, GA, has now announced online-via its website-that it will continue to include one of three other CDs in the Wendy's kids' meals. Apparently those originals, now pulled, can now go on the collector's shelf. Snacking kids will now hear musical selections like "ABC" by Jackson 5 or "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang.
 
The website said Wendy's is "no longer offering" the Disco Fever CD that included Summer's "Last Dance", but doesn't mention the restaurant's reason for pulling the CD. It may be the "Last Dance" for the ad agency or promotion company that let that one slip through.
