Would you like to share the genius of Bo with your kids or with people who can't stand his cussing?
Want to play his music around the house without upsetting sensitive ears?
Well, you're in luck because now you can with my profanity-free playlist!
All of these songs exclude major curse words, and I have commented where inappropriate lyrics and topics might not work for younger audiences.
I'm fine with "ass" and "damn" personally, but I did point out where those terms occur in the pieces listed below.
Please note that I'd first created this list when my son was three in 2019 and have updated it for subsequent releases, and my focus was on keeping out the s- and f-word as much as possible (I didn't care about the subject matter lol).
Here you go, and happy sharing!

There are also some videos available of kid-friendly versions of Bo's songs:
Welcome to the Internet—from a dance competition...really excellent performance as well
Goodbye—profanity dropped by singer
Inside medley by the Davenport Pops
VHS Theatre's Inside showcase—the newest addition to kid-friendly Bo music, this group's medley of songs would surely make a theater kid like Bo proud (and I LOVE that they included the Brand Consultant and ATL!)
And while Make Happy's music was never officially released, a few of its songs do meet the criteria:
Kill Yourself (yes, it's about suicide, but no profanity!)
Can't Handle This (viola cover by Zachary Hamilton, which you can read more about here)
