Last time I heard it on 80's on 8, it wasn't edited..


Same here. Yesterday was the first time.

And they used to play full version of MFN (and Eyes Without a Face) on Classic Rewind. But I noticed it's been edited there was well.

Lil Kim has a verse talking about sucking dick and fricking.

There are violent references.

The line.
"You should do like we do, stack chips like Hebrews" now has a record skip over "Hebrews".



Not sure what version that playlist contains but this version doesn't edit out any lyrics.
Just played it to doublecheck. Hebrews is there.

Some of those playlists have completely edited radio versions. Pisses me off.

The Office

When Comedy Central began re-running all episodes of The Office, they ran all of them... except for "Diversity Day".

Remember when it was the religious right that insisted on editing and bleeping out "problematic" lines on screen and on the radio, and the left lost their fricking minds over it?


NO, I don't remember that.

I do, however, remember Tipper Gore and other lefties of her ilk having big problems with pop lyrics.

As you likely know, a whole stanza from Dire Strait's "Money For Nothing" (references to Boy George with multiple uses of "faagot") has been missing from airplay for some time.


Not true, heard it on 103.3 here in BR this week.

Listening to 80s on 8 on Sirius yesterday and "Funky Cold Medina" and the whole part about "Sheena" (when we got undressed it was a big ol mess, Sheena was a man) was edited out.
Since the whole song is about spiking women's drinks so they'll have sex with you, arguably the surprising thing is that any part of it is being played. But then consistency and even awareness are not qualities that seem strong in the 'Cancel him!' crowd.

Why would Sirius do that? Did they hire biologists to run their channels now?

I guess Brand Nubian is next....

Here's my issue, they'll censor those words, but how many times is the N-word dropped in these same songs?

You know what I always thought was funny? The Who’s “Who Are You”. Roger Daltrey clearly (albeit very fast) sings “Ah, who the frick are you”, and it never gets bleeped out. It’s almost like they managed to sneak one in.

IIRC, Tipper and company got owned by Frank Zappa and a few others who called them out on their bullshite and pointed out the hidden meanings of 50s lyrics in songs seen as wholesome (Wake Up Little Susie, etc).

I guess they just used to be better at sort of hiding it back then?

Start me up

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come

Jet Airliner

You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shite goin' down in the city

Friend of mine got in trouble for playing Lou Reed near his kids because Walk On The Wildside came on. His wife wasn’t amused.

Degrading women = good

You have to remember. It's okay when they do it!

They as in... well... you know.

This is why I watch shows on HBOMax

Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, etc

All original no censoring. I hope they never become woke. The Sopranos was extremely politically incorrect and hilarious
