Why did they censor Daves Fuck ?

[wiseguy]

Anything and everything should be open to discussion. Why is it always assumed that with subjects like this one or what VH may or may not do next, always met with the same thing about just enjoy what we got? We ARE enjoying it!! That doesn't mean the constant stream of nonsense bullshitting about them has to stop. I don't think anyone here is dumb enough to think their words are actually going to sway the band in any way.

Although, Dave does "hear what the bloggers say!"

Thank you sir. My point exactly regarding the headset thread.

FUCK why they did it? I was actually thinking the same, I was looking for this song's lyrics when I noticed... FUCK CENSORSHIP

[BrownSound1]

Hell Dave curses in RWTD. "Goddamn it woman, you know I ain't lying to ya, I'm only gonna tell ya one time!"

Why? Because now it is radio friendly without any extra work...though it would be easy to edit it out for the radio. Like the end to Everybody Want's Some, radio stations here still take out the end of "I'll pay you for it, what the (and then it stops before)fuck". I know what the word should be, so in a way it is kind of cool Dave's not saying it...gives it a little more meaning selecting to take it out actually, ya' feel it now opposed to hearing it lol

[Yount]

what do yoou mean in his hey day?

Dave is still hot as hell.....probably always will be.

In his hey day? This is still obsessed!!!

Ok Ok my blatant Dave put-down was uncalled for. He's still got it. Hey life not hey day. Sorry ladies (and gents)

I have all three US versions (Standard, Deluxe, Walmart T-Shirt Edition)... all are recorded the same.

I can't corroborate this but I have heard that the Canadian version says "fuckin'-eh".

[Panamark]

The Irish release has Dave singing "Fecked"

Come to think of it, they could use that for the Sef Efricans
and Kiwis, Dan ??

[Zing!]

I can't corroborate this but I have heard that the Canadian version says "fuckin'-eh".

Take off.

Ok its so simple, Dave left it blank for the listener to fill in......:-)

[clarathecarrot]

Why did they...sen...sor........(even longer pause)..Dave's ..............FUCK!!!!!

Yeah!! put some Shatner on it!

[VHscraps]

Pretty sure it is not 'muted' on the UK release, but can't check right now.

It's clear on Dave's word jazz version on Vimeo. I love that. If we were back in the days of 7" vinyl it would be great to have that on the B-side with the album version on the A-side.

Does 'Goddamn it' count as cursing in America? I don't think it would here. I would view that as being far less strong than bastard but I think you maybe have different rules there because of all the religion.

[ELVIS]

It must be nice to be so free...

Depends on the context. If my 8 year old lets out a "I don't want to eat my Goddamn vegetables!" a cursing punishment is implemented.
