FWIW I was more pointing toward radio edit = "shorter" than radio edit = "censored"

one of my big disappointments is that at the Wildflowers exhibit at the Cade did not have details on how the four different versions of that recording came about (I have it on a 7" & don't remember which version it is; "Girl On LSD" is the b-side) — I imagine the story behind it is incredible

there is both a censored/bawdlerized radio edit and a non-censored radio edit, i think the former came along some time later once people learned what crystal meth was

yeah that's the radio edit, but that's not really censoring it's just cutting out the IMO bad and dumb bridge

How about Ice Cube “Today was a good day?” I always liked the radio edit better which is rare

I would argue that the shortened Semi-Charmed Life is censored though.

I love the censored version of Humpy Dance because of the choice to censor the words “Burger King”.

Not quite to prompt, but the music video version of “Roses” by OutKast where the outtro is re-recorded, not just edited, is superior.
