You're getting upset over a lyric that could be misinterpreted, but not by a child, and the fact that the lyric IS what it is, makes this post even more ridiculous.
The lyric is what is sounds like when you hear it at the end of the movie; kids arent actually looking at subtitles or anything. (Next you'll be saying that Gaga's Poker Face song's chorus doesnt include the words "f-ck her face", just because the lyrics are written as "poker face".) If you go to the official vid on youtube and read the comments you'll see other people heard the same thing that I did with Pink's song.
Grow up you pathetic woman. (I'm assuming you're a woman, because lets be honest, only a woman could find something like this to complain about.
Right, by all means, make dismissive comments about women - why on earth would I expect you to be considerate about children's needs?
Let me put it another way: I am a consumer of Disney products, I checked the rating of the movie, and I paid for my family's tickets and so, if the product doesnt match the rating I can complain all I want about the ratings board and Disney. You can debate the validity of my complaint, of course, but if you're gonna call me names then you're not really the sort of person who would understand a sensitive matter like this.
I dont have anything against these songs - I just dont want the really bad swear words or words that sound like bad swear words to be in kiddie films. There's a joke in Penguins of Madagascar where a seal says he cant do flipping anything with his flippers - that I find adorable; psuedo F words, not so much.

When ADULTS hear it you mean. -
Well you know, our brains use to keep tricking on us; your kids would only interpret this sound that way if the misheared word in question was already established deeply enough in their lemmatic memory (which I don't know if that's the case. But assuming you're American and considering the heavy usage of this word in question in AE that might well be). -If not their brains would interpret it with something else they think can compare closely enough. For example a person COULD mishear "carry on" with "carrion" IF the person in question knew the this word and it's meaning; if not this person's brain would never make that connection.
With each day the number of people on my Ignore list is growing.
