The track [subsequently shot to number one on the _Billboard_ Hot 100 ](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/01/09/migos-bad-boujee-number-one/)chart and [returned to the top spot on Monday](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7662715/hot-100-migos-bad-boujee-the-chainsmokers-paris?utm%5Fsource=twitter&utm%5Fsource=t.co&utm%5Fmedium=referral), knocking off [Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You.”](http://time.com/4624762/ed-sheeran-new-album/) However, the Atlanta rap trio is open to reinterpretation when it comes to their hit song, as they proved during an interview on _The Cruz Show_ on radio station Power 106, where they rap and freestyle words and phrases from children’s book _Llama Llama Red Pajama_ over the beat from “Bad and Boujee.” The result, as you might expect, is hilarious and almost as catchy as the original. Watch the full clip below; their _Llama_\-flavored remix starts around the 14 minute mark. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4645428/migos-childrens-book-bad-and-boujee/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4645428/migos-childrens-book-bad-and-boujee/"},"headline":"Watch Migos Rap a Children's Book Over the Beat to Their Hit Track 'Bad and Boujee'","datePublished":"2017-01-25T15:06:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:24.912Z","description":"The number one song in the country is now kid-friendly","url":"https://time.com/4645428/migos-childrens-book-bad-and-boujee/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4645428/migos-childrens-book-bad-and-boujee/","name":"Watch Migos Rap a Children's Book Over the Beat to Their Hit Track 'Bad and Boujee'"}}]}] ```
