^ Nothing changes in the versions besides him changing the word f**k to forget. It's not that hard of a song anyways to remember.

Very unprofessional. You'd thought it'd be better at this level. How the hell are you bypassing the filter, Artie?

I think that he only messed up because he was a little nervous. For starters, he was on the Grammys. That's enough to make anyone nervous. Secondly, he was in a parrot outfit.

Huh? I didn't write the lyrics. If I did, I certainly wouldn't use any of the three profanities he uses. I don't find any of them offensive, just not necessary. I'm sure he was nervous to mess up his own song. Aguilera at the Super Bowl, ugh, that's a different story.

" 925;igger" and " 1029;hit" Unbelievable. Artie is able to figure out the HTML code for the letters S and N, yet he can't research information about any song on topic beforehand.

It's a simple Linux keyboard shortcut. Relax.
There's not much research I could do. I didn't see the GRAMMYs, so I have no idea which lyrics Cee Lo Green botched. And I was pointing out there was more than one profanity about the song. On topic.
Stick to the music, not the whining. It's becoming epidemic around here. What's also funny is how this has gone 71 posts at least before somebody complains.
Music, fellas, music.

Hehe hilarious as per-usual. Artie has actually dedicated the title of this song to the forum's bypasss system.
In other news. Is this guy ever gonna release a second single?

"It's OK" and "Bright Lights, Bigger City" were released in Canada, I believe. "It's OK" is a continuation of this song musically. "Bright Lights" is different. But his whole album is really great.

I quoted his lyrics. Actually related to this discussion. Weird. I'll change it to Forget You if that calms you down. And I was directly replying to Rise Against Devin's incorrect assumption that the title word was the only profanity changed to the alternative version.
I'm not sure which one, but one of Cee Lo Green's songs will be featured in tonight's ABC show Detroit 1-8-7.

^ Alternative version. He also had Gwyneth Paltrow singing with him and Cee-Lo forgot some of his lines He forgot one line. Gwyneth forgot one too. Not a big deal.

I can understand her mistakes, it's not exactly her song. But curious to why he did. Sometimes musicians make mistakes. I saw 30 Seconds one time and Leto messed up the lyrics to "Buddha For Mary". Just cause someone writes a song doesn't mean they can't fuck it up.

Uh, you meant "forget it up," right? Don't want the profanity police whining you down. I wasn't questioning that performers can't mess up, I just wondered if there was a glitch that caused it. Or he just simply forgot the words.

Artie, I meant he replaces "f**k you" with "forget you". That's it. The word for African-American and s**t are just censored out, not replaced with another word.

I understand, I was just pointing out the title isn't the only difference between the versions.

A novelty song creates a rather novel -- yet pointless -- discussion with Artie again at the center of attention. The more things change...

In other news, this was a song that American Idol contestants could choose to do for the group round.

Nobody whined about curse words. They were marveling at your ability to circumvent a filter. Show me one quote in which somebody complained about the F-bomb.

I'll let you read the record for yourself. I don't know who it was, but there was complaining about using bad language. And they were Green's lyrics! Not my words.

So this song is making a very suspiciously calculated run for a week or two at #1 on the Pop chart. Seriously, this song's post-Grammy nomination run is starting to scream payola at this point. I mean, how could the general public who listens to pop radio not be tired of this song by now? It was already a Top 20 hit the first time.

I dislike #1 and #3 very strongly, and haven't heard #2, but I like Cee Lo in general far more than Pink, plus as far as I'm concerned it was Cee Lo who broke the ice in making it 'cool' to create a song with a title involving the f-word. So yes, highly suspicious indeed, but also highly heroic.
I'm also liking the song's unpurged roots beneath the 40's of the Alternative chart just as much. Must be shattering the record for most weeks for a song that never officially hit the top 30, which may never be broken because songs would generally not be allowed to.
