Always fun to hear that one-hit-wonder Panic at the Disco's song on the radio and they cut out the most important word in the entire song in "whore". I can understand (and prefer) "Goddamn" being censored, but when you eliminate the whole point of the song, it's a moot point to listen.

The music video version of Last Resort by Papa Roach bleeping out "resort" for some reason. Back when we had Much Music, their edited version of "Last Resort" was the best. Any reference to cutting, violence, etc. was removed. So the first verse: Cut my life into pieces I've reached my last resort, Suffocation, no breathing Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding Do you even care if I die bleeding? Would it be wrong, would it be right? If I took my life tonight, Chances are that I might Mutilation out of sight And I'm contemplating suicide Was: [blank] my life into pieces I've reached my last resort, [blank], no [blank] Don't give a f*** if I [blank] my arm [blank] Do you even care if I [blank] [blank] Would it be wrong, would it be right? If I took my [blank] tonight, Chances are that I might [blank]out of sight And I'm contemplating [blank]

More power to them for basically re-writing the lyrics.

The Alanis Morrisette song where she goes "when you f*** her" It's changed to 'when youuuuouuuuouuu' Shame they didn't add a 'why I ought ta' to add to the effect. Here they just mute the ending, so it goes "when f(muted) her", except the way it's edited she really nails the f sound and the muted part kind of completes the word anyway. I was going to post just this. The "when you fffffffffffffff....her" makes her sound even more mad, actually, like she's at a loss for words, even that word. I swear there was a version of "Tubthumping" that says "SISSING the night away" (huh?) And of course the loss of a whole verse of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing"...you know why. Our New Jersey radio station plays the original "Hanukkah Song" during the holidays, and cuts out the "smoke your marijuanica" line. Not intentional editing, that I know of, but I find it funny that most playings of "Strawberry Fields Forever" start the gibberish part, but cut out before "I buried Paul/Cranberry sauce." Similarly, no one plays the whispers that begin John & Yoko's "Happy Christmas" anymore. And for songs in general, look no further than Clear Channel's 9/11 ban list. "Walk Like An Egyptian?" Really?

Editing out the words "war" and "nuclear war" on Electric Six's "Gay Bar"
All the while, the news channels are covering war 24/7 with rolling coverage.

Ever see the video version of Dr. Dre's "Dre Day"? Its like a completely different song. Also, this relates more to the video than the song, but for some reason MTV edited the video for Skid Row's "18 and life". Heres the uncut version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O317T6ZlnoMTV and VH1 edited out the scenes where ricky points the gun at his friend (though they did keep the climatic scene where ricky shoots his friend dead) as well as, inexplicably, the bloody smiley face as well.

Why is "Thong Song" the only instance of the word 'breasts' being bleeped?

I thought Sirius was unedited, i've heard several songs on there with uncut f-bombs and s-bombs. As for radio edits, my local rock station altered "Everything Zen" so it sounds like he's actually saying "Find my psycho brother". Though given the word salad lyrics, its not that big of a deal. The pop stations (90s on 9, 80s on 8, etc.) are edited. The genre stations (Boneyard, Hip Hop Nation, etc) are not. Yeah, I don't get it, either In some cases, Sirius XM is even worse than terrestrial radio when it comes to editing songs. I had the 90s channel on this morning and "What It's Like" by Everlast started playing. To give everyone an idea of how much censorship took place, here are the song's lyrics modified to reflect what I heard (or didn't hear!) on the channel. The station also censored "Jump Around" by House of Pain. "Ass," "ho" and "bitch" were all edited. The strange thing is that "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks is on the channel's playlist, which you really can't censor since there would be no reason to play it. My town's commercial stations have had some oddities. In "Get the Party Started" by Pink, "you'll be kissin' my ass" becomes "you'll be kissin' my Benz." When Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" first came out, "gun" and "bullet" were both muted. I've heard versions of "Rock Star" by Nickelback that censor all references to drugs.

I remember back when "Because I Got High" first came out, my local radio station decided to censor the word "pussy" with a cat meowing.

The Youngbloodz song Damn. In the original song the lyrics are "If you don't give a damn, we don't give a f***" and in the censored version the word f*** is muted. However the radio version they used to play went "If you don't give a damn go on throw it up"
Also in the 1950's some radio stations felt that the original version of Stagger Lee was inappropriate because it dealt with gambling and murder so they played this version instead.

Even better, one of the DJs on a station here edited the song so that the "Ooh ee, ooh ah ah, ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang" bit from The Cartoons song "Witchdoctor" replaces f***.

I would have to say any song that has a rap verse getting cut out is weird to me. I never understood this. With that being said, I'm going with the radio edit of Outkast's "The Way You Move" playing on non-rap stations and it is only the instrumental where Big Boi's verses are supposed to be and it only has Sleepy Brown's chorus and verse. That, in my opinion, is one of the weirdest edits ever.

Does anyone remember the version of Ain't Notin but a G Thang where the blacked out a dude eating chicken?

I once heard a version of 'My Name Is' that went "So I signed it, Dear Dave, thanks for the support, hole ass!"

Sort of the opposite, but every once in a while on radio you can hear the F bomb in Pearl Jam's Jeremy or the line "funky old shit" in Steve Millers - Jet Airliner.
As for funny radio edits, I have to go with the substitution of tnioj instead of joint in Tom Petty's - You Don't Know How It Feels.
Of course those are not as bad as the one word you can never ever ever say on the radio, the dreaded A word. Any guesses?
Nope not that one. Or that one. Ok, Now you aren't even trying. Give up, its Arbitron.

I've always preferred the radio edited version of "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt instead of the album version, because there's one single, solitary curse word that entirely changes the entire meaning of the nearly four-minute song. The radio version, as we all know and have had bored into our eardrums for the last eight years, goes: Yes, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was Flying high. The album version changes one word: Yes, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was F***ing high. With that one four-letter word, it changes from a cute song about a guy longing for a woman after a brief shared glance to an uncomfortable song about some drugged-out stoner creepily leering at a girl. Never knew that, and you're right that totally changes the song.
