I am starting to wonder this as well! I just went through my DVR from last labor day when they played all the old videos. I just watched (about 10 minutes ago) the "smokin' smokin'" version of the video! Makes me mad that I don't have this on CD even 20 years later!

I'm watching the video on YouTube, and there are apparently two different audio tracks for the video. The one I'm watching has the censored version with "smokin' indo" but it's clearly not the same version as the "Radio Mix" on the promo CD single. For one, it has an additional keyboard synth at the beginning and end, is missing some vocal overdubs, and has a different backing track in places.
The plot thickens!

Wow! I only thought it was the "smokin' smokin'" part that was different. I am telling you I used to hear this version on the radio back in '94 all the time. It was the only version my friends and I knew. We used to walk around singing "smokin' smokin'" and it wasn't because of the video on MTV. I was so disappointed when I purchased my CD single and still am!

When listening to a high quality upload of the video, it's obvious that the rhythm/drum track is not the same between the Radio Mix and the video version. The video mix is missing the "sleigh bells" that are present on the album and radio mixes.

So this means that there is now a clean video version (smokin' smokin') and a straight up video version. This link you sent sounds like it's clean but with "indo" sill in tact. Hmmmmmmm.

Yes, two different video mixes. Neither video mix matches any of the
versions I've ever found on cd.

Too bad the video has so many sound effects.
