Kiwi Kids Are Rockin' It

Kiwi Kids (R Rockin It) - The Starbugs


Haley came home from school today singin' this song. I love that Kiwi kids have their own anthem! I looked and couldn't find much information about this band, the Starbugs. From what I can tell they were a kid band in the 90's and their music was played primarily in NZ primary schools. Pretty cute to hear Hales singing it. I've got to get that on camera if she'll let me. And from my own observations, I can confirm that Kiwi kids definitely ARE rockin' it. :)


Here are the inspiring lyrics should you not care to/not be able to listen:

Kiwi Kids (r Rockin' it)

Now the game begins
As the spotlight beams upon us you can see us centre stage
We're your kids, your hope. We're the heroes of the future
We're the new, unwritten page
The time has come around at last for us to show the world that...

Chorus
Kiwi kids are rockin' it, rockin' it
Kiwi kids are tops
Kiwi kids are living it, living it
Look what we've got
Kids can do anything, anything
Give it a try
Kiwi kids are rockin' it, rockin' it
Just watch us fly!

Now the game begins
You can see us from the sidelines, we are in the winning team
We're the best there is, we can take it to the limit
We can live our wildest dreams!
The time has come around at last for us to show the world that...
Repeat Chorus

My primary skool from 2002-2007 (Tawa primary) changed the lyrics to Tawa skool instead of Kiwi kids. Somethimes it was Tawa kids but we usually sang Tawa school

Really good song, but in 2019 they created something horrible.
Instead of "Kiwi Kids Are Rockin' It" they changed it out and created U.S. Kids Are Rockin' It.

this is blasphemy
the US version should be illegal
