Kiss - Crazy Nights

"People try to take my soul away, but I don't hear the rap that they all say"

Cause he can't say crap, that would be rude....

PLUS:

Meatloaf "pray to the gods of sex and drums and rock and roll"...

Meatloaf actually meant that though.

"And as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end

Black Grape: Stupid Stupid Stupid

mark, no!

kiss=classic! that song, at least..

eminem - well, i'd say exceedingly dud. odd, that he's willing (and made) to censor a drug reference so that he can get on the radio, but songs about beating up women and homophobic drivel are considered acceptable.
(ditto beenie man, buju banton, a hundred others i can't even be bothered to mention).

Clarification: The Classic/Dud bit is regarding the bit of self censorship, not the song/album/career whatever.

Why don't you all f-f-f-fade away.

"What have we got
We've got you
What have we got
We've got you"

Sham 69 - What Have We Got (version included on the "Tell Us The Truth" album).

Sorry boys? Did I hear that right? "We've got you"? Are you sure? Well that's kinda funny 'cos I could have sworn the original version of that went more like:

"What have we got
Fuck all!
What have we got
Fuck all!"

In fact I'm sure I've still got that original version on the free single you used to give out at your gigs around '77/'78 - back when you still had some balls.

"Tell Us The Truth"? Don't make me laugh ya big bunch of bed-wetting pussies!

DUD.

Oddly enough, I remember hearing this on John Peel, when they were in session:

"What have we got --- JOHN PEEL"

although I heared it as "What a wanker JOHN PEEL (thanks john)"

and I thought "what a wonderful sense of humour and irony our john has"

Classic - Pharoah Monch's Fuck You changed to Got You.

― Chris Jones (Crackity Jones), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Dud: Pharoah Monch - Simon Says shut the up.

And that People Everyday track. When they 'drop' the only slightly off. word...

You're so [very] special.

That wasn't self-censorship though, that was done for the radio edit. There's a thread about that too.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Here you go

Great moments in language re-editing for radio airplay

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Ahh that's a better thread for content.

Pubic skin?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

That feels real good

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

"F-f-f-f-fade away" is great! It's so coy!

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the only changes were Bikini from blue tardis, and no for shit.

Seriously tho, I'm sure it was peelng skin in both...
