If you listen to Ingrid Andress' new single, there is one word in the lyrics which is not (pun intended) "Lady Like." What other country songs have been edited for radio due to language?

Son of a bitch was replaced by son of a gun in the Charlie Daniels Band's The Devil Went Down To Georgia.

Ass was changed to toes in ZBB's "Toes" depending on the station. I've heard it unedited and have heard it with just a dead spot.
"Red Solo Cup" has had testicles changed to vegetables on two of the stations here.

Gloriana "Trouble"
Original lyric: "Pack up your shit and get gone"
Radio Edit: "Pack up your stuff and get gone"
Still a shame no one bought that song at all and that song essentially murdered their career for good.

Ashton Shepherd's "Look It Up" was edited for radio to remove her saying 'asshole' at the end of the song. Likewise, Miranda Lambert's "Baggage Claim" ends with her singing come get your shit, which was edited to come and get it for airplay.

Son of a bitch was replaced by son of a gun in the Charlie Daniels Band's The Devil Went Down To Georgia. This one is always funny to me. Local classic rock station always played the original until Disney bought into the station and it has never been played since, just the edited version. |

Thanks to the Morgan Wallen song debuting at #45 on Hot Country Songs this week, I believe there is a new word appearing in a song title on the country charts for the first time. I recall the Notorious Cherry Bombs used the second word in Wallen's song title in its lone chart hit ("It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your..."), but do not recall that anyone else has ever charted with the other.

I remember as soon as I got high speed internet to download mp3s, I went to get I’m Alright by Jo Dee Messina just to hear her say “ass.”
No such luck.

Not country radio and not a curse word LOL, but I remember when the CMAs censored the word "joint' when Kacey performed Follow Your Arrow at the show years ago... it made no sense lol

Plenty of ass there. Depends on the radio station. I've heard it replaced by Toes and also edited with a blank spot. |
