she said by plan b. i like that song, and the rap verse is really good AND it also explains more of the story of the song, and they removed it on radio stations so you lose some of the context. guess rap is 'too urban' for pop stations.
Eminem actually said in an interview a long time ago that he rewrites and re-records a clean version for any song that his daughter wants to listen to.

Sir, apparently a letter’s been omitted from your comment, whether inadvertently or intentionally for ironic comedic effect. However, a message in such fragmentary form is, if not impossible to decipher, then ambiguous, and potentially offensive, if interpreted as camouflaged profanity., which I regret to inform you , is the conclusion I have drawn. Perhaps you’ll examine and make appropriate revisions. Most are incapable of processing such ideas without catastrophic results beyond anything anyone could even comprehend. I beseech you to take corrective measures before irreversible tragedy consumes us all-. For others, lacking my wisdom and courageous self control, are bound to overreact. We’re all counting on you to uphold the righteous standards of decency that our great nation depends on for its future, and the future of its children. That is what you are destroying unless you do the right thing. Choose your words carefully. It’s up to YOU.
The clean version of We Cry Together is on my works' playlist (which is curated by our head office) and it's absolutely hysterical. It really disrupts the sterile retail environment and confuses the hell out of customers every time.
The funniest part of censored Mo Bamba is that it sounds like Sheck forgot the lyrics mid-verse, so he pulls the lyrics out, he looks down, squints at the next line, then gets back to the song.
It also edits "MF" out of the chorus when I thought it was the bass/synth pattern part of the beat & not actual words until radio finally edited the chorus
Starboy by The Weeknd has gotta have one of the funniest clean verses of all time. you can hear Daft Punk saying the censored words muffled in the back 💀
Lol, one that came to my mind was this version of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by Zayn & Taylor Swift I grew up with. You see, on this version I heard on this radio channel called iHeart Radio butchered a part of it when it wasn't necessary; in the "Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life" bit, the part was just cut to "wondering if I dodged the love of my life" *bc even metaphors that merely feature bullets or whatever is just too much for kids Ig??* 💀 (Also, I just remembered a version of Cardi B's "Like It Like That that basically got its time cut in half due to censoring & this song called "I Can't Keep My Hands to Myself" that had the term j...ning juice reversed. They just took that term, they reversed the clips, & put it back in. Why tf were these songs even put onto the radio channel if they needed to be goofed up like this??)
I remember seeing this topic post and searching for content that would fit best here, and that somehow led to a Clean Version of Kid Rock's "Don't Tell Me How To Live", where he literally adds cartoon effects to replace the curse words while forgetting to bleep out parts that said "ass" and "bitch". It was terrible, but at the same time, it felt like the most fitting idea of what a "Kid Rock clean version" would look like.
To be fair Kid Rock IS a living cartoon of a Conservative American, and most of his stuff is pretty terrible. Always has been. No sacred cows and all that.
I vividly remember that when Teenagers showed up on MTV here, not only was the chorus like that, but also in the line "what you got under your shirt" they muted the word "shirt"
i KNEEEWW something was off when i listened to the original versions of songs like the way you lie etc. I was always thinking "when tf did (rapper in question) ever appear on this song?" but radios cutting out the rappers feature all together makes it all click together for me.
Brad's dissolution into uncontrollable laughter on hearing the Vampire Money change was fucking incredible Also the version I had of Beautiful Girls just replaces "suicidal" with *complete silence*
Ngl, the one that used denial sounds better; not only is it odd that you'd wanna end it over a bunch of girls you like being out if ur league or whatever, but it just kinda clashes with the lighter tone of everything else. 💀
Love to hear their clean wap like brad said. There's some floors in this house there's some floors in this house. Guessing it would be about wet floors.
This is like the musical version of those incredibly ludicrous censoring techniques in movies, like "You see what happens when you find a stranger in the alps?!", "I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday To Friday plane!", "Yippee Kie Yay, Mr Falcon!", and "Hand me the keys, you fairy godmother". Yes, those are all real.
I remember watching the big Lebowski on public tv and when the “find a stranger in the alps” line came up I almost passed out from laughing. Incredible example
The funny thing about the Doja Cat one is the version he listened to censored both times she said ass in the beginning of the second verse, but the version that usually played on my radio station had her go, "Tryna see if you can handle this ____ Prolly give his ass a panic attack" Also who went down a pipe in Mario at 35:34
it might be the same, but there’s this oddly half-clean version that censors most of the swear words, but none of the sexual innuendos (so the choke me line flows and for some reason erection is kept)
I wasn’t expecting My Chemical Romance here, especially any song other than Teenagers. I’ve been a superfan for years and didn’t know they had clean versions of _any_ of their songs, excluding Teenagers, Na Na Na, and I’m Not Okay
I mean, “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” like their biggest hit from Three Cheers has a clean version. Replaces the line “not oh-fucking-kay” with “really not okay”.
well don’t forget that the danger days music videos all had censored music, but censored in a really well-done way; the censoring has an in-universe explanation in the form of BLIND.
Of course they have clean versions. They're MCR! A very well known band signed to a major label!What do you think they never got played on the radio? Or never had clean non-PA versions of their albums?
Yeah that cutting out the rap verse stuff still happens now. What makes it weird is that sometimes it seems like it's the radio station just neglecting to update a certain song to include the rap verse because then they'll play a straight up rap song with no problem. One of my local stations does this and it's weird. They'll cut the rap verse from one song but then the next song ends up being Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre lol. I remember even some black ran stations pulling this shit like Heart & Soul on Sirius XM. I'm like bruh, either include the shit or don't play it at all
Growing up we'd hear the clean DMX song so often (because that was what was available) that when I hear the original I still mouth the censors. The adlibs are so good that it's honestly just as valid.
I know he’s a psychopathic pos but in the clean version of Trapped In The Closet he censors his own profanity by singing “dooooot” over the curse words and it’s hilarious.
The wildest imo was in the Need for Speed: Most Wanted soundtrack when they censored Shapeshifter by Celldweller. They literally censor "pink slip", "casket", "brains is blown out", "cage fight", and "drift". They censored pink slip and drift in a racing game, one that literally says pink slip on many occasions.
I remember the song beautiful girls was playing at a school event but it wasn’t the clean version so a teacher was constantly shouting “IN DENIAL” over the verse about being suicidal and it was so obvious what he was doing
My favorite example of this is that I went far too many years not knowing the line in *I Write Sins Not Tragedies* was "closing the goddamn door" and not "closing the (short yet dramatic pause) damn door," I just genuinely thought it was a neat stylistic choice. 😅
I would include "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco. The word "god" is censored in the lyric "Haven't you people ever heard of/Closing the goddamn door" but the note on the word "god" is a very important part of the melody that gets lost.
This was a common thing in the 2000s believe it or not. For whatever reason, TV shows, music videos, and movies that got censored would censor "god" but not "damn." It was everywhere. I always thought it was stupid, and I never understood it. Probably evangelicals or something.
I’ve heard censored versions of iwsnt so frequently as a kid and every time I just wondered, what’s the point of censoring it when the song is inherently really explicit anyway
There’s a rock station near me that plays a clean version of “Crazy Bitch” by Buckcherry, but instead of just bleeping or censoring the words b*tch and f*ck, they cut out the entire song for those words so it skips a beat. It either sounds like a CD skipping or that Buckcherry were trying to be a prog-rock band.
22:10 Every song that is like this, Maroon 5 - Don’t Wanna Know, Katy Perry - California Gurls, Sia - Cheap Thrills, all have their rap verses taken out at Trader Joe’s, despite the store selling Snoop Dogg’s collaboration wine with 19 Crimes.
Gotta be hit em up by tupac, the craziest part is that the clean version leaves in the outro where tupac curses out/threatens to kill biggie & co. All the profanity is muted, but they didn't censor arguably the most egregious line ("my .44 make sure all your kids don't grow")
I remember watching a live performance of Paper Planes by M.I.A., the song originally has gunshots on the chorus but they replaced them with some weird string sounds, my girl was PISSED lmao you could tell by her face
I worked at a dispensary in a rec state, and “Young, Wild & Free” used to drive us crazy because they keep all the alcohol references and all the weed ones are changed.
As someone who used to work in supplying background music to retail/hospitality sites, I would often have to edit tracks & make clean versions etc., but it absolutely sickened me when I was asked to remove an entire rap verse from a pop song (that was already clean), because the store didn't want any rapping on their playlists. This was done because it genuinely would offend elderly customers & conservative parents to hear rap music in public. Regardless, I would just think of it as "I am removing a black artist from a chart song" and the worst part is I would then have to remove the artist from the metadata because there would be no need for royalty proceeds to go toward an artist that was no longer on the song. This was in 2019 btw 👍
I remember Jhene Aiko had a clean version of her song "P*$$y Fairy" and it wasn't bad but the part where she said "I hypnotize you with this p*ssy" got changed to "I hypnotize you with this ooowee" 😭
I've only ever heard Cheap Thrills played in grocery stores and they never play the version with Sean Paul, so I didn't even know he was on it until this video
They didn't have to make the Kidz Bop version of Montero a duet between a boy and a girl, with all the references to the "boy" mentioned in the song being sung by the girl. Like the censorship of the song didn't have to mean "take the gay away."
I would again love to see the clean version of "The Worst Guys" by Childish Gambino, specifically the second verse on the song where it censors the n-word (the word he ends each bar and rhymes with) by just repeating/echoing the previous word, always found it hilarious. Honestly even besides the second verse the whole song is kind of thrown off by the censorship because of his smooth flow.
One of my most hated clean versions would have to be the radio version of Janie's Got a Gun, replacing the lyric "She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain" with "She had to take him down easy and left him in the pouring rain". It not only felt much less powerful, but made me realise how absolutely GARBAGE radio censorship is. They censor swear words and even VIOLENCE, but they allow overtly sexual songs like "Body Like a Back Road" and "Side to Side" to play with no censorship other than the swear words!? Hell, even the lyric "Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course" from Ed Sheeran's "Don't" is FULLY UNCENSORED! FFS, radio stations, BE MORE CONSISTENT! Either censor EVERYTHING that kids shouldn't be hearing, or censor NOTHING at all. If you're going to bowdlerise the violence in songs like "Janie's Got a Gun", then you shouldn't be letting songs full of sometimes OBVIOUS sexual innuendo play on your station!!!
Okay, I actually swear that I've heard the unedited version on the radio because I do remember Steven Tyler singing "She put a bullet to his brain" on the radio.
Lmao, reminds me of these iHeart Radio versions of 3 songs that weirded me out when I was younger. The 1st one was "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by Taylor Swift & ZAYNE; they cut out the word bullet from the term "dodged a bullet" for some reason, so the lyric is just "Not sure if I dodged - the love of my life." The 2nd is this song called "I Can't Keep My Hands to Myself", which I don't remember too well outside of a sexual term with the word juice in it getting reversed & I think the word sex or some other term got reversed. I'm wondering why tf you would even let that song air on there if it's that sexual. Oh, & the 3rd & final one is Cardi B's "Like It Like That" bc I distinctly remember my mom asking why the song was even on there due to the part of the dude who was featured got cut out, leaving the song cut in half. TL;DR: iHeart Radio was/is kinda stupid w/ song censorship, lmfao.
I wish I hadn't been at work so I could've tuned into this one live, I'm so glad that my Kidz Bop Montero suggestion gave you and the chat some good laughs. :) Another great video Brad!
I remember when I was younger I made lists of the funniest clean versions of rap songs I could find and this video brought a lot of nostalgia back to me and I love it
I'd like to think of the clean version of We Cry Together as it's own separate work of art. Like who's listening to that version unironically? Would not releasing a clean version really have had any reprecutions? I feel he released it specifically for fans to laugh at such a serious track be turned into a joke of 90% censorship, like i shouldn't laugh bc the song is tragic, but I just can't get over the constant "you-, you-, you-"
Stan is such a good song, and it’s honestly scary. Possibly one of his darkest songs. Bleeping it out was a bad decision 😂 it’s a distracting edit. I am far more focused on the censorship, than the song itself. It’s like when Will Smith had a loud bleep in the middle of his song. Completely ruined it.
Regarding the comment that recommended California Gurls: It IS still a thing. Just as a few examples: They play Cheap Thrills without Sean Paul They play Enemy without J.I.D. And every Maroon 5 song with a guest rapper save for Beautiful Mistakes is losing the rap verse. I even heard a version of Bring Me To Life that had no male vocals. Like WTF
when I was a kid, my parents would only let me buy CDs from Walmart because they were usually censored. I was also obsessed with SOAD. so the censored version of fuck the system was all I knew for YEARS omg
I’m surprised Killing In the Name Of wasn’t an example. A radio station neared me played it once and it just completely cut out the whole ending. I don’t think you can ruin a song more than that
There's actually a Radio Disney version of Maroon 5's "This Summer" too - "This summer's gonna hurt, GONNA HURT, aha...aha" In fact, if you wanna hear more, er, interesting clean versions, Radio Disney is quite the rabbithole to go down.
I think a lot of these songs came about, at least the ones that weren’t released as singles, because of Walmart’s old policy on not carrying “parental advisory” CDs. I think a lot of labels at that point in time would just automatically release a clean version of the entire album with little to no input from the artists themselves, just because Walmart was by far the largest retailer, whereas now the only reason I can think of to censor your song is to get on the radio.
I think my favorite worst clean/radio version of a song is "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas where, along with the routine censoring any swearing in the song, they censor the word "satellite" in satellite radio, just because satellite radio exists.
Should I be proud of MCR for making it on the list twice or not? I haven't finished watching yet but I'd like to say that the clean version of Vampire Money is a masterpiece.
If you wanna see some other weird clean versions (even if not actually official) are some Just Dance versions. I don't know if it happens in other casual games or rhythm games, but they weirdly inconsistent and kinda interesting in that regard.
Re-recording entire songs with 90% alternate lyrics was pretty common place for hip-hop for the 80's & 90's. My Name Is came at the tail end of that practice from record companies.

It also edits "MF" out of the chorus when I thought it was the bass/synth pattern part of the beat & not actual words until radio finally edited the chorus
Listening to that NOW. LOL!
Why did they censor her name 😞
@@sporkzzz because it sounds like "a n*gga"
@@sporkzzz i guess it was bc it sounded like the n word? Idk
Starboy by The Weeknd has gotta have one of the funniest clean verses of all time. you can hear Daft Punk saying the censored words muffled in the back 💀
Personally I think "I'm a-I'm a Starboy" is catchier than "I'm a motherfucking Starboy"
i didn't even NOTICE somehow. thats glorious
Lol, one that came to my mind was this version of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by Zayn & Taylor Swift I grew up with. You see, on this version I heard on this radio channel called iHeart Radio butchered a part of it when it wasn't necessary; in the "Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life" bit, the part was just cut to "wondering if I dodged the love of my life" *bc even metaphors that merely feature bullets or whatever is just too much for kids Ig??* 💀
(Also, I just remembered a version of Cardi B's "Like It Like That that basically got its time cut in half due to censoring & this song called "I Can't Keep My Hands to Myself" that had the term j...ning juice reversed. They just took that term, they reversed the clips, & put it back in. Why tf were these songs even put onto the radio channel if they needed to be goofed up like this??)
@@FurKid_the_Gg_roo_99I thought the same about WAP having a radio version. Why even bother trying to put something so explicit on the radio lmao
we cry together really sounded like a rhythm game where you just don't hit half the notes
Golden comment man
Project DIVA moment
I remember seeing this topic post and searching for content that would fit best here, and that somehow led to a Clean Version of Kid Rock's "Don't Tell Me How To Live", where he literally adds cartoon effects to replace the curse words while forgetting to bleep out parts that said "ass" and "bitch". It was terrible, but at the same time, it felt like the most fitting idea of what a "Kid Rock clean version" would look like.
That’s how Hollywood Undead censors their albums
@@piccolo9365 Given what I know about that group and their music, seems very fitting for them too lol.
To be fair Kid Rock IS a living cartoon of a Conservative American, and most of his stuff is pretty terrible. Always has been. No sacred cows and all that.
Dont need to sensor ass and bitch for radio play
Gotta make it appropriate for the young ladies
I vividly remember that when Teenagers showed up on MTV here, not only was the chorus like that, but also in the line "what you got under your shirt" they muted the word "shirt"
i KNEEEWW something was off when i listened to the original versions of songs like the way you lie etc. I was always thinking "when tf did (rapper in question) ever appear on this song?" but radios cutting out the rappers feature all together makes it all click together for me.
How does a version of Love the Way You Lie without a rapper even work? That’s all of the song except the chorus!
@@StudioScarecrow I imagine it's more like Love the Way You Lie Pt. 2. Which is just Rihanna mostly. Except that had only one verse by Eminem.
Brad's dissolution into uncontrollable laughter on hearing the Vampire Money change was fucking incredible
Also the version I had of Beautiful Girls just replaces "suicidal" with *complete silence*
the implications of silence over "suicidal" are a LOT WORSE
Ngl, the one that used denial sounds better; not only is it odd that you'd wanna end it over a bunch of girls you like being out if ur league or whatever, but it just kinda clashes with the lighter tone of everything else. 💀
Okay but I hope Brad decides to do a Kids Bop episode because that shit was amazing
That Thrift Shop Kidz Bop made me violently ill.
Kidz bop thrift shop Tik tok drip drop
The bring me to life cover brings me to tears every time.
Love to hear their clean wap like brad said. There's some floors in this house there's some floors in this house. Guessing it would be about wet floors.
Imagine if he links with Jacksfilms
Sometimes if the censoring gets crazy enough it starts sounding like a YTP
This is like the musical version of those incredibly ludicrous censoring techniques in movies, like "You see what happens when you find a stranger in the alps?!", "I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday To Friday plane!", "Yippee Kie Yay, Mr Falcon!", and "Hand me the keys, you fairy godmother".
Yes, those are all real.
I remember watching the big Lebowski on public tv and when the “find a stranger in the alps” line came up I almost passed out from laughing. Incredible example
Wait where is that last one from that one sounds familiar 😭
@@headphonesdawg The Usual Suspects.
The tv version of the movie Observe and Report replaced a couple dozen uses of motherfucker with "melonfarmer"
What should stranger in the alps mean?
I’ve always found it ridiculous how the clean version of Stan leaves in actual cuss words like “ass” but censors words like “vodka” and “die”
The funny thing about the Doja Cat one is the version he listened to censored both times she said ass in the beginning of the second verse, but the version that usually played on my radio station had her go, "Tryna see if you can handle this ____ Prolly give his ass a panic attack"
Also who went down a pipe in Mario at 35:34
it might be the same, but there’s this oddly half-clean version that censors most of the swear words, but none of the sexual innuendos (so the choke me line flows and for some reason erection is kept)
Nah, that's someone getting a "game over" in Pac-Man.
@@amandak.4246 There's still no point, everyone already knows that the song is about sex, even without the cuss words.
Most of these sound like Parappa the rapper if you spam the buttons. 💀
@deadchannel7895 😐
True 😭

I wasn’t expecting My Chemical Romance here, especially any song other than Teenagers. I’ve been a superfan for years and didn’t know they had clean versions of _any_ of their songs, excluding Teenagers, Na Na Na, and I’m Not Okay
I mean, “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” like their biggest hit from Three Cheers has a clean version. Replaces the line “not oh-fucking-kay” with “really not okay”.
@@tylerp3327 that one is so plainly obvious I totally forgot to include it LMFAOO
well don’t forget that the danger days music videos all had censored music, but censored in a really well-done way; the censoring has an in-universe explanation in the form of BLIND.
Of course they have clean versions. They're MCR! A very well known band signed to a major label!What do you think they never got played on the radio? Or never had clean non-PA versions of their albums?
Yeah that cutting out the rap verse stuff still happens now. What makes it weird is that sometimes it seems like it's the radio station just neglecting to update a certain song to include the rap verse because then they'll play a straight up rap song with no problem. One of my local stations does this and it's weird. They'll cut the rap verse from one song but then the next song ends up being Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre lol. I remember even some black ran stations pulling this shit like Heart & Soul on Sirius XM. I'm like bruh, either include the shit or don't play it at all
I wonder if maybe that's not the station making that decision, but just what version they are sent to be played on air by the record label
Sad that Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever isn’t on here. The clean version is… rough to say the least…
That's the one I looked for after clicking
absolutely derails the song
The Sesame Street version is adorable, though
"321 we came to suck" might have been the hardest I have laughed this year
glad someone in the twitch chat pointed out that the system of a down song sounded like Tobuscus.
OARRR

"we came to suck" caught me so fucking off guard
Growing up we'd hear the clean DMX song so often (because that was what was available) that when I hear the original I still mouth the censors. The adlibs are so good that it's honestly just as valid.
In the clean version of the Trapped in the Closet series by R. Kelly, he censors himself by singing “bleep” over curse words. Best of all time.
The "clean" version of Vampire Money sounds like lyrics Gerard would sing on stage as a joke.
I know he’s a psychopathic pos but in the clean version of Trapped In The Closet he censors his own profanity by singing “dooooot” over the curse words and it’s hilarious.
🤣🤣🤣
When YG said “SNITCH SNITCH SNITCH SNITCH”, I felt that
The wildest imo was in the Need for Speed: Most Wanted soundtrack when they censored Shapeshifter by Celldweller. They literally censor "pink slip", "casket", "brains is blown out", "cage fight", and "drift". They censored pink slip and drift in a racing game, one that literally says pink slip on many occasions.
Shapeshifter and that one Styles of Beyond song that got remixed into Nine Thou. Both got absolutely ruined
Yeah, at this point I am so used to the clean version since I've played so much of this game
I remember the song beautiful girls was playing at a school event but it wasn’t the clean version so a teacher was constantly shouting “IN DENIAL” over the verse about being suicidal and it was so obvious what he was doing
I literally never heard the clean version before lol
why even try
My favorite example of this is that I went far too many years not knowing the line in *I Write Sins Not Tragedies* was "closing the goddamn door" and not "closing the (short yet dramatic pause) damn door," I just genuinely thought it was a neat stylistic choice. 😅
I would include "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco. The word "god" is censored in the lyric "Haven't you people ever heard of/Closing the goddamn door" but the note on the word "god" is a very important part of the melody that gets lost.
Most rock stations in my area just screw it and just play the uncensored version.
This was a common thing in the 2000s believe it or not. For whatever reason, TV shows, music videos, and movies that got censored would censor "god" but not "damn." It was everywhere.
I always thought it was stupid, and I never understood it. Probably evangelicals or something.
I’ve heard censored versions of iwsnt so frequently as a kid and every time I just wondered, what’s the point of censoring it when the song is inherently really explicit anyway
Yall i wasnt around when tjey played this on the radio lucky
There’s a rock station near me that plays a clean version of “Crazy Bitch” by Buckcherry, but instead of just bleeping or censoring the words b*tch and f*ck, they cut out the entire song for those words so it skips a beat. It either sounds like a CD skipping or that Buckcherry were trying to be a prog-rock band.
22:10 Every song that is like this, Maroon 5 - Don’t Wanna Know, Katy Perry - California Gurls, Sia - Cheap Thrills, all have their rap verses taken out at Trader Joe’s, despite the store selling Snoop Dogg’s collaboration wine with 19 Crimes.
You skipped the best part of the clean version of “Y’all Want A Single” when Jonathan screams “SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK” after the bridge
They made a clean version of that song??? “Y’all want a single say suck that suck that 🤤”
Gotta be hit em up by tupac, the craziest part is that the clean version leaves in the outro where tupac curses out/threatens to kill biggie & co. All the profanity is muted, but they didn't censor arguably the most egregious line ("my .44 make sure all your kids don't grow")
I remember watching a live performance of Paper Planes by M.I.A., the song originally has gunshots on the chorus but they replaced them with some weird string sounds, my girl was PISSED lmao you could tell by her face
In terms of clean versions, "Teenagers" has nothing on "Ænema" by Tool. It's almost comical how much gets censored in the chorus.
And its the version with the video on youtube
We Cry Together Clean sounds like alien slam poetry.
That "clean" 50 Cent song had me in stitches. Pure comedy
best part of it is that one guy in the chat who typed "50 C*nt"
Ngl, hearing clean Stan where the crazed fan just states, "Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend--" made me lose it.
I worked at a dispensary in a rec state, and “Young, Wild & Free” used to drive us crazy because they keep all the alcohol references and all the weed ones are changed.
As someone who used to work in supplying background music to retail/hospitality sites, I would often have to edit tracks & make clean versions etc., but it absolutely sickened me when I was asked to remove an entire rap verse from a pop song (that was already clean), because the store didn't want any rapping on their playlists.
This was done because it genuinely would offend elderly customers & conservative parents to hear rap music in public.
Regardless, I would just think of it as "I am removing a black artist from a chart song" and the worst part is I would then have to remove the artist from the metadata because there would be no need for royalty proceeds to go toward an artist that was no longer on the song.
This was in 2019 btw 👍
sometimes I wonder why they even bother to make a clean version for some songs. My Name Is is probably the weirdest one
Because money
I remember Jhene Aiko had a clean version of her song "P*$$y Fairy" and it wasn't bad but the part where she said "I hypnotize you with this p*ssy" got changed to "I hypnotize you with this ooowee" 😭
I've only ever heard Cheap Thrills played in grocery stores and they never play the version with Sean Paul, so I didn't even know he was on it until this video
As a big enough MCR fan to see them on the reunion tour last year, that Vampire Money edit had me in stitches, that is comedy gold
I was gonna write a [censored] but TH-cam would [record scratch] my account if I [empty space] so I had to [LOUD CAR NOISE] instead.
Brads “worst” topic videos never fail to disappoint.
0:29 Which isn't really much cleaner than the original. WAP is a song that is pretty much uncleanable (unless you're Ben Shapiro).
They didn't have to make the Kidz Bop version of Montero a duet between a boy and a girl, with all the references to the "boy" mentioned in the song being sung by the girl. Like the censorship of the song didn't have to mean "take the gay away."
that’s actually terrible
I would again love to see the clean version of "The Worst Guys" by Childish Gambino, specifically the second verse on the song where it censors the n-word (the word he ends each bar and rhymes with) by just repeating/echoing the previous word, always found it hilarious.
Honestly even besides the second verse the whole song is kind of thrown off by the censorship because of his smooth flow.
One of my most hated clean versions would have to be the radio version of Janie's Got a Gun, replacing the lyric "She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain" with "She had to take him down easy and left him in the pouring rain".
It not only felt much less powerful, but made me realise how absolutely GARBAGE radio censorship is. They censor swear words and even VIOLENCE, but they allow overtly sexual songs like "Body Like a Back Road" and "Side to Side" to play with no censorship other than the swear words!? Hell, even the lyric "Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course" from Ed Sheeran's "Don't" is FULLY UNCENSORED!
FFS, radio stations, BE MORE CONSISTENT! Either censor EVERYTHING that kids shouldn't be hearing, or censor NOTHING at all. If you're going to bowdlerise the violence in songs like "Janie's Got a Gun", then you shouldn't be letting songs full of sometimes OBVIOUS sexual innuendo play on your station!!!
Okay, I actually swear that I've heard the unedited version on the radio because I do remember Steven Tyler singing "She put a bullet to his brain" on the radio.
Lmao, reminds me of these iHeart Radio versions of 3 songs that weirded me out when I was younger. The 1st one was "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by Taylor Swift & ZAYNE; they cut out the word bullet from the term "dodged a bullet" for some reason, so the lyric is just "Not sure if I dodged - the love of my life."
The 2nd is this song called "I Can't Keep My Hands to Myself", which I don't remember too well outside of a sexual term with the word juice in it getting reversed & I think the word sex or some other term got reversed. I'm wondering why tf you would even let that song air on there if it's that sexual.
Oh, & the 3rd & final one is Cardi B's "Like It Like That" bc I distinctly remember my mom asking why the song was even on there due to the part of the dude who was featured got cut out, leaving the song cut in half.
TL;DR: iHeart Radio was/is kinda stupid w/ song censorship, lmfao.
I wish I hadn't been at work so I could've tuned into this one live, I'm so glad that my Kidz Bop Montero suggestion gave you and the chat some good laughs. :)
Another great video Brad!
I remember when I was younger I made lists of the funniest clean versions of rap songs I could find and this video brought a lot of nostalgia back to me and I love it
brad you are turning out straight BANGERS on this channel, thank you man
I'd like to think of the clean version of We Cry Together as it's own separate work of art. Like who's listening to that version unironically? Would not releasing a clean version really have had any reprecutions? I feel he released it specifically for fans to laugh at such a serious track be turned into a joke of 90% censorship, like i shouldn't laugh bc the song is tragic, but I just can't get over the constant "you-, you-, you-"
Stan is such a good song, and it’s honestly scary. Possibly one of his darkest songs. Bleeping it out was a bad decision 😂 it’s a distracting edit. I am far more focused on the censorship, than the song itself. It’s like when Will Smith had a loud bleep in the middle of his song. Completely ruined it.
Yeah it completely distracts your from the song
Censoring Stan is like removing the wheels off a car
"see slim....? I'm trying to talk!... *goes through a tunnel with no service*
Censorship of music isn't a moral issue, it's a money issue.
The buying power of prudes is strong enough to make 1984 replacement of words happen.
bro it's not that deep kids just don't need to hear the fuck word on the radio 😭
@@maverickREAL as long as the original version of the song is available to listen to, it's not censorship
Literally 1984
Has been happening for a few years now. Can't even type cusses here on youtube anymore unless I want my post auto-deleted.
@@Saturnthroughstars some channels disallow swearing in their comment section so i don't think that's entirely yt's fault
I like how Kidz bop removed the non-swear line, "If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can" cause it's about the Gayz
“Young, smart and full of heart
…and I think he bout to get in his car”

22:09 a radio station where i live used to say "without the rap" as their slogan. they only stopped a couple years ago.
Let’s not forget Blood by MCR, the long BLEEP right in the middle always catches you off guard no matter how many times you listen to it
Regarding the comment that recommended California Gurls:
It IS still a thing. Just as a few examples:
They play Cheap Thrills without Sean Paul
They play Enemy without J.I.D.
And every Maroon 5 song with a guest rapper save for Beautiful Mistakes is losing the rap verse.
I even heard a version of Bring Me To Life that had no male vocals. Like WTF
when I was a kid, my parents would only let me buy CDs from Walmart because they were usually censored. I was also obsessed with SOAD. so the censored version of fuck the system was all I knew for YEARS omg
I’m surprised Killing In the Name Of wasn’t an example. A radio station neared me played it once and it just completely cut out the whole ending. I don’t think you can ruin a song more than that
There's actually a Radio Disney version of Maroon 5's "This Summer" too - "This summer's gonna hurt, GONNA HURT, aha...aha"
In fact, if you wanna hear more, er, interesting clean versions, Radio Disney is quite the rabbithole to go down.
I have a degree of respect for "Party Up" using every sound effect under the sun to make it radio playable
The clean version of What its Like by Everlast censors really bad words like "thugs"
I think a lot of these songs came about, at least the ones that weren’t released as singles, because of Walmart’s old policy on not carrying “parental advisory” CDs. I think a lot of labels at that point in time would just automatically release a clean version of the entire album with little to no input from the artists themselves, just because Walmart was by far the largest retailer, whereas now the only reason I can think of to censor your song is to get on the radio.
I think my favorite worst clean/radio version of a song is "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas where, along with the routine censoring any swearing in the song, they censor the word "satellite" in satellite radio, just because satellite radio exists.
Should I be proud of MCR for making it on the list twice or not? I haven't finished watching yet but I'd like to say that the clean version of Vampire Money is a masterpiece.
Be proud 100%
Somehow the clean version of WAP sounds dirtier
If you wanna see some other weird clean versions (even if not actually official) are some Just Dance versions. I don't know if it happens in other casual games or rhythm games, but they weirdly inconsistent and kinda interesting in that regard.
That Chocolate Starfish fucking killed me lmao
Re-recording entire songs with 90% alternate lyrics was pretty common place for hip-hop for the 80's & 90's. My Name Is came at the tail end of that practice from record companies.
