@ the UK renaming this "Come On". Who's uptight now? Haha According to who? www.theofficialcharts.com/singles-chart/Looks like "S&M" to me. Although as Popjustice so accurately tweeted earlier today: "Yes why don't I release a deliberately provocative sadomasochism single then act surprised when it's censored by the BBC".

Here you go... www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singlesIt's also been banned from BBC Daytime radio. Hence the title change and edit...

Thanks. I'm not one for censorship but really... This is just like the "If U Seek Amy" debacle all over again. The controversy is very clearly the reason these songs are chosen as singles. You don't release a song with fuck in the chorus or about sadomasochistic sex without knowing it'll be censored.

Same. I'm looking forward to the third single with the colourful video from her next album in about 12 months time as that'll undoubtedly be my fave too!

The thing is, this is S&M packaged up in the tamest most radio friendly way. It's hardly outlining graphic depictions of sadomasochism by saying "chains and whips excite me" and the verses are so generic and unoffensive. I actually think Rude Boy was more explicit than this.
I think the BBC are just trying ridiculously not to offend anyone because the Tories don't like the BBC.

My radio station(s) better not censor this for the same stupid reasons. I agree that Rude Boy was more expliciit (although no technical sex terms were used, just imo).
Seriously, though, sexually speaking (or singing in this case), this is nothing compared to Rude Boy.

I'm glad my radio station plays the original version. They've been spinning it since December I think

Fun Fact: The editing of this song on Radio 1 is actually a consequence of a false report that had claimed they had banned it from daytime play. lol

The original album version was already approved for airplay 2 weeks ago. Following the widespread banning report & media reaction, they decided to review and reconsider it themselves. They didn't fall through with the complete banning as suggested, but as we can see - they compromised.

LOL. "but ____ and ____ excite me" actually makes the song sound a lot filthier than the unedited. And I agree about "Rude Boy" coming off a lot more explicit than this but the uproar about the song now is only because of the video. A week ago it was being played and titled regularly.

Well, apparently it's a metaphor for loving all the attention she gets... I'm not sure if I buy it, though.

I'm still surprised U.S. stations don't play some type of edited version, and that there is no backlash considering people of all ages listen to Pop radio. I actually like the edit but was it really necessary for them to edit out "chains" & "whips"? lol.

I've been thinking about when she'll drop the next LP lately, it'd be a smidge ridiculous if we get another back to back Q4 release. It's EXTREMELY interesting that this is getting censored so heavily in the U.K. and not in America. Usually we're the first to go apeshit when the chance to be puritanical arises.

I'd like a new album too, but it's not happening. She has a tour and a movie coming out.
