Weird radio edits of songs
"Get Low" Lil John
There are many, many, many changes from the dirty version to the clean one, but the one that I just don't understand is this one:
"awww skeet skeet m*therf*cker" becomes "awww skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet"
HOW IS THAT MORE APPROPRIATE?
"Addicted" Simple Plan
The unedited version goes "I'm addic, I'm addicted to you" (or if you prefer, "I'm a dick, I'm addicted to you"). The pop radio station here omits the "I'm a dick" part. Overkill much? That's one of those edits that just draws attention to itself.
And now for my current favorite.
"Grind on Me" Pretty Ricky
The local hip-hop station plays "Grind on Me." The local pop station plays "Grind WITH Me." Where exactly is the difference here?
Okay, so I'm probably overthinking this, but these really drive me insane. Have there been any other really weird lyrics in songs that were edited for radio lately?
