Wendy's pulls disco CDs from kids' meals

By
June 13, 2010

It was a quick dance for a disco CD included in Wendy's kid meals.

That's because the Atlanta-based burger chain pulled the prize due to questionable lyrics in one of the songs.

Apparently, there are two sets of lyrics for Donna Summer's "Last Dance." And when the words are bad, they're so, so bad.

The lyrics on the CD cover include the words "so bad." But some heard the words "so horny" in the song, which was marked as safe for children 3-years-old and up. The company making the CDs for Wendy's apparently included the adult version of the song.

Despite pulling the disco CD, Wendy's continues to distribute three others. Little Johnny and Susie may still get "Totally 80's," "Motown for Kids" or "Songs for the Car," according to the company's Web site.

Songs included on those CDs include "ABC" by Jackson 5 and "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang.
