FOXX OFFERS KID-FRIENDLY VERSION OF 'BLAME IT': Singer replaces 'alcohol' with 'apple juice' on 'Jay Leno Show.' (video)(October 7, 2009)
*Jamie Foxx looked out for the nation's children on Monday with a kid-friendly version of his hit song "Blame It," inspired by angry parents who said the tune's original lyrics encourage young children to imbibe.
Appearing on "The Jay Leno Show," Foxx said the song's hook, "Blame it on the alcohol," has become popular with kiddies who sing the catchy tune in classes. Needless to say, some parents at his teen daughter's school have approached the Oscar winner with their concerns. He joked to Len "I got a lot of flack for that because the kids started singing the song. I would go to my daughter's school and (the) parents go, 'How dare you have my child bringing flasks of Hennessy to the school?' They were upset with me. So my manager's daughter came up with the idea to change the song a little bit so the kids would have something to sing." Performing the child-friendly alternative, Foxx sang: "Blame it on the juice/'Cause you're only two/Blame it on the juice/Whatcha gonna do/Blame it on the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-apple juice."
