Machine Gun Kelly & Camila Cabello - Bad Things - Hey, Radio Disney? If you can't say one of the artist's names (Kelly became "MGK") or the song title ("I only wanna do do things to you"), don't play it, instead of trying to edit this rough sex anthem into a kid-friendly tune just because Camila's in it. Machine Gun Kelly is commonly referred to as MGK - Radio Disney isn't the only one.

Jam, you might wanna be sitting down for this one - there are multiple tracks in which RD kept the words "damn" and "hell". Off the top of my head - Sabrina Carpenter's "Sue Me", Zara Larsson's "Ruin My Life" and Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down".
Also, there's no reason why a true Radio Disney fan would need to use clean language, as there's a lot more to the station then its sometimes-hilarious edits. It was partially about being able to actually hear the songs from rising young artists, or that get pushed to radio but never crack the Top 50. Not to mention all the queer kids that found it an outlet. (And they KNEW that! We got Kim Petras and Big Freedia on the playlist in the last few years!) First of all, my name is Austin - "Jam" is just the initials for my full name: "John Austin Meekins Gorham." Second of all, they didn't censor those songs?? I do NOT remember hearing those words in any of those songs!! I DO remember them keeping the word "hell" in Kesha's "Praying" though... But seriously, how could they?! I thought Radio Disney edited out bad words from the songs they played!

If you didn't mishear them and they really did say those words, don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Off the top of my head - Sabrina Carpenter's "Sue Me" I didn't realize the Radio Disney version didn't censor that in "Sue Me." That makes it even more odd that they censored "I'm just in a t-shirt on the couch" out of Zara Larsson and Sabrina Carpenter's "Wow" and changed it to "PJs on the couch" lol. Well he could be wrong, Sabrina may have just said something that sounded like either of those words and he misheard it. P.S. Cat Soul, if you didn't mishear it and Sabrina really did say one of those words, don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Edit: Sorry, 1 year and 8 months ago. My post was also quoted, and that one is two years old! Almost two years old. It's January 6, 2023, and you posted that thing on January 22, 2021. So it won't be two years old until January 22.

All this fuss...over minor things....IN A RADIO DISNEY THREAD? Alright already! Let's not talk about this any further, agreed? No more cursing? Let's just go and pretend none of this ever happened. Alright? No harm, no foul, right?

I have made the decision to lock the thread for the time being. We'll try again in a couple days! Let the drama die down while the mods talk about a few things :)

Time to unlock the thread after staff reached a consensus. Please, don't derail the thread even further. Thanks!

iHeart performs so little maintenance on their Kids & Family section they accidentally re-added all of their removed stations to the category, including RD, RD Junior, a channel for The Alli Simpson Show and two RDMAs channels. Unfortunately, none of them will play anything.
