Lately, I get offered YT playlists for giant chunks of unedited television broadcasts of like Toonami or DIC cartoons or whatever from the 80s-early 00s and ngl, if I were depressed as poo poo I'd probably warm bath that. Presumably at least a few sad kids are catching up that way.

I heard Interstate Love Song yesterday while grocery shopping. I’m fine with it. Nothing against her, but it’s better than hearing Taylor Swift or some other pop act yet again. On the other hand, I heard Barenaked Ladies at Burger King the other day, and I hope it’s at least another twenty years before I hear them again, anywhere.

Not ‘90s but still topical: I liked it better when, if Pink Floyd’s “Money” was playing over a grocery store’s PA system, the “don’t give me that do-goody-good bullshit” line was still unedited

sock it to me! posted:Dire straits "money for nothing" got away with an F slur for like 40 years, at least on the local stations where I've lived. I agree with Knopfler's own take that the eventual excision of that slur is fundamentally different from other kinds of music censorship, insomuch as its harm is to a marginalized group, vs taking swear words out of songs in order to make them "family friendly" this is evidenced by your own point that radio stations were still playing the original unedited version years after other songs from the same time period had been changed for broadcast.

Similarly Guns & Roses' Mr. Brownstone has the "But that old man, he's a real motherfucker" line uncensored in every radio play region I've ever heard. I caught it one time in the 90's and I've noticed it every time since.

Elvis Costello still gets to drop the N-word in Oliver's Army when it gets played on Australian radio. Still hear Funky Cold Medina, a song about using a date rape drug on women, with transphobia in the second half, too. lol, just googled the song to see when it came out and I don't think whatever site google scraped actually understands what a "play on words" is. quote:The lyrics tell a humorous story about the consequences of using a drink called "Funky Cold Medina" as a supposed aphrodisiac. The term "Medina" refers to a city in Saudi Arabia, but in the context of the song, it is used as a play on words to rhyme with "funky" and "cold." Or "rhyming". Megillah Gorilla has a new favorite as of 14:26 on Feb 19, 2024 |

Yeah, it's very much "of its time". Like all the rock songs about "She was just seventeen" which we at least realise now is creepy as gently caress - even though they're still being made.

I only had a free trial of Sirius XM for a few months, so I don't know if they ever did any censoring. Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers has "up against the wall, motherfuckers" as background, but prominent Grace Slick vocal. It was uncensored.

Hearing the song uncensored on a Sirius station was how I learned the real lyrics to "Creep" by Radiohead. Up to that point I had thought the phrase was "very special", which was the edit every terrestrial station at the time used.

Kids these days will never know that feeling, it was the wild west back then where every radio station had a slightly different pool of stuff to choose from and sometimes unexpected stuff just slipped through. And obviously a lot of the onus was on the record labels to provide a clean version, so if they wanted to play something but they didn't want to do a sloppy mute or reverse they just went for it.RC and Moon Pie posted:"loving hell" is left intact on Hey Jude every time. I still think it's "bloody hell" but either way it's really just too buried to say for sure.

I don't remember when it was the first time I heard the uncensored version of Me So Horny by 2 Live Crew but goddam did I think it was way cooler than the radio version. On Sirius there are stations that play censored versions of stuff. 90s on 9, 80s on 8 are two that come to mind. Those are the channels I hear them playing in Burger King and Wendy's etc..

Man in a Box used to be uncensored on the radio all the time but they wised up within the last 5 years or so, both of the local rock stations are owned by the same local company and that song and a few others that had not-overly-clear shits and fucks in them got censored.

"Outshined" by Soundgarden was a funny one; the official lyrics say "the grass is always greener where the dogs are shedding" but everyone is pretty sure it's "making GBS threads" since that seems to make more sense, but the way it's sung it really could be either. So depending on the DJ's opinion it may or may not be edited. Since it's a somewhat long song and the video version cuts that half-verse entirely, you could also argue you're just cutting it for length.

I logged into her account and messaged the first person I saw on her friend's list that I had a new song if they wanted to hear it. "gently caress gently caress gently caress a duck, screw a kangaroo, finger an orangutan, orgy at the zoo" then I logged off for fear of being arrested. 12 year old me was such a rebel.

(And albums, sometimes just by extension but also they threw more songs on them.) Things have swung pretty hard in the opposite direction now and there are definitely times where I wish there was an interesting bridge or something to let the song breathe; but on the other hand, I don't miss the trend of repeating the chorus over and over with a perfunctory instrumental bridge (i.e. just the same thing that was already playing, but without the words) just to pad out the song.

I didn't realize this was a real restaurant and not just a weird made up for television thing until like a year after the Seinfeld episode aired. I was on a road trip with my parents from San Diego to Spokane and back when I saw one somewhere in Oregon.

Maybe if we’re extra lucky then on the day Ian Miles Cheong finally gets arrested it’ll be at a Kenny Rogers Roasters and we’ll all get to make Gambler jokes

To pipe in to uncensored songs in public chat, my roommate makes a hobby, around Christmastime, of seeing if they leave the F-slur in "Fairytail in New York" by The Pogues. They usually do. My favorite, tangentially 90s, lack of censorship was when they put Semi-Charmed Life into an Alvin and the Chipmunks Wii/WiiU game and caught almost everything, except one line, played very prominently in Alvin's voice, "How do I get back there, To the place where I fell asleep inside you"

The first (and possibly only) time Rocky Horror Picture Show played on network TV they edited the shadow-puppet blowjob scene but somehow left in "a mental mindfuck can be nice" from Planet Schmanet Janet, and also Columbia's nipples both times they appear in the movie. Someone or several people probably got fired over that but I salute them
