I haven’t thought of that Primus edit in at least twenty years. Incredible work.

I also believe to this day “kool aid” is funnier the “vodka” in the song. I think I might actually like the radio edit better than the original.

NIN - Closer. Never has a moment of silence fucked so hard.

Helps that censors don't care about context since "I wanna feel you from the inside" really filled in the blanks

Big Pun - "I'm not a player I just CRUSH a lot"

Alanis Morisette "When you *backwards swishing* her"

CeeLo "Forget you"

Also, a song that WASN'T censored on Utah's own X96 when it came out—Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up." That track played pretty heavily in the light of day, right when I would be driving home from school with my dad :/

I’ll never forget some kid in 5th grade telling me that the lyrics for that NIN song were “I want to feel your furry insides”

"The radio edit of “A.D.I.D.A.S” is a work of art. Seriously. It’s the only example of corporate meddling that actually made the song more disgusting than the original."

Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz would like a word, and that word is "skeet." Repeated over and over, because they gambled the censors wouldn't know what it means and won.
