Actually that was totally a 90s thing: radio versions of songs with "funny" edits instead of just blanking out the swears. "Fire Water Burn" had that donkey bray, Kid Rock had the "radio edit" sample on "Cowboy", the radio version of Eels' "It's a Motherfucker" where he shouts "monster trucker" over the MF-word --- I don't think anyone really does that anymore, they either just blank it out or do a different version with alternate lyrics.

Sandler’s “Ode to My Car” was funnier when it was censored. I also think about how they garbled up the word joint in Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels” and what an odd choice that was.

Was it Money by Pink Floyd where they never bothered to censor "bullshit"?

I think both radio and CD versions of the first Doors album from 1967 were still muting the word ‘high’ (As in “She gets high”) from Break On Through to the Other Side until like the mid-00s.

Del's sequel album is kind of bad. I really don't like the celebrity cameos like Joseph Gordon Levitt and David Cross.

Sigh. The Kid Rock song says radio edit even on the album. That’s how the song was written. I hate that I know this.

It's weird that no one did anything about it for so long because it was very, very obvious. The censorship has only been in the past 5 years or so. Though seemingly no one's ever caught on to the "loving hell" in Hey Jude and it still runs uncensored everywhere.

I feel like when someone realized Money For Nothing had a bunch of slurs in it that older songs were examined again. Though the idea of swearing in a song and that being an issue seems so, 90s. I remember you'd hear a lot of stuff about how musicians didn't need to swear in their music, unlike now.

Sultans of Swing has no slurs, but did not have the slick music video with the Reboot tradies.

That, and how in Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, Brenda Lee just wants some fuckin pie The one I can’t believe hasn’t been censored yet is “poo poo” in ZZ Tops’ “Legs”. That song has been played into the ground for 3+ decades and it still airs unedited every single time.

Of course, there’s like three or four different versions of the song to begin with (Album version and a couple different lengths of the single remix) so it doesn’t surprise me that some are edited and some aren’t.

END OF AN ERROR posted:Sigh. Don't feel bad--"Devil Without A Cause" is a pretty good album. I never heard any of his subsequent stuff. It says "radio edit" on my CD (which has the PMRC sticker on it) and on Spotify, but I found this youtube that has the original real original uncut lyric: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppARrSP9GmA

There was also a use of "shucking fit", and even replacing a usage of "c*nt" with "coconut"somehow

I think it's more the consolidation of station ownership over the last 25 years. Clear Channel went from 43 to 855 stations owned in that time.

Funky See Funky Do posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtvmTu4zAMg Stereogum has a column called The Number Ones, where Tom Breihan is writing an article on every single song that has ever hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, in chronological order, going all the way back to Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" in 1958. He's up to 1991 now, and if you're reading this thread you'd probably be into it. He's currently in what is to my mind the absolute nadir of pop music. I mean, there are some memorable songs (his current column is on EMF's "Unbelievable"), but there is so much completely unmemorable crap. And I don't mean one-hit wonders, either; those are usually people whose one hit was memorable. Positive K was a one-hit wonder, but people totally loving remember "I Got A Man." But Tommy T. Who the gently caress was Tommy T? This was a #1 hit song, but I defy anyone to remember hearing this song in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcEaUJoo0NE Anyone, check the column out, it's uniformly excellent. Every article is full of 'today I learned," poo poo. Like I had no idea that the gravel-voiced old guy singing on the Box Top's "The Letter" was a 16-year-old Alex Chilton. I didn't know that the Divinyls were formed by people who left fuckin' Air Supply. Or that FYC was started by the rhythm section from The Beat (In the US they were called The English Beat and you definitely know some of their songs). Here's the column on She Drives Me Crazy: https://www.stereogum.com/2153188/the-number-ones-fine-young-cannibals-she-drives-me-crazy/columns/the-number-ones/ And here's Dolly Parton's cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pShm7GiN2JY

I had really weird and bad taste at that time so I definitely heard it and know why most probably didn't. This was played on adult contemporary (which was my jam as a ten y/o). Just loved playing with Legos and/or GI Joes and listening to Rod Stewart and Phil Collins.

Oddly enough, the 1990-‘91 school year was the one year before I became a teen and developed my own taste in music that I didn’t listen primarily to schlocky AC, which explains why I cannot for the life of me remember that awful song. The ones that stuck with me from that time were, strangely, Scorpions’ “Wind of Change” and Jesus Jones’s “Right Here, Right Now”. Not like, you know, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” or “November loving Rain”, because god forbid Pig Lagoon County, Ohio, has a decent modern rock station (emphasis on decent and modern). And then by 1992 I went back to the poo poo AC and pop. I think the portable stereo I had quit working or something. Weird.

Oh gently caress, I remember this song - because of the rink where I'd go ice skating as a teen, rink full of kids and teens and the music was this song, Cutting Crew, Richard Marx, Chicago, Amy Grant, all sorts of soft rock/AC.

As soon as I saw "Tommy T", I knew you actually meant Timmy T. And that song. Also, I remember a bunch of other wuss "rock" from them days. I used to listen to Magic 102.5 from Buffalo NY, and was kind sorta current with stuff that was popular with people my age (9-10 ish) and teenagers. Like they'd play the censored version of Me So Horny by 2 Live Crew, and ummmm, other stuff that was actually popular. Pop music I guess, and then one day they started playing adult contemporary, and I either didn't notice, or was too dumb to realize and suddenly it was Micheal Bolton (covering Percy Sledge), Kenny G and a bunch of other Adult Contemporary crap.
