It was probably an issue with the wine being in a Mason jar that KDWB was concerned with, not the word itself. "Days Of Wine And Roses," fine. Grape wine in a Mason jar? No, not for the teens. Maybe the altered version was dayparted to nights.

The irony of their censoring effort was that I won a copy of the 45 from KD, and that was where I first heard about what Roger really had in mind.    ]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:22:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3348&PID=15679&title=custom-radio-edits#15679 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3348&PID=15676&title=custom-radio-edits#15676 Author: Hykker

I heard the Hall & Oates edit on any number of stations, though I've never seen a copy. Any promo copies I've ever run across were mono/stereo yellow-label versions of the stock 45. IIRC it was a very smooth-sounding edit.

Any edits of "Tonight's The Night" I've heard were different than what eriejwg recalls...the ones I heard used the "upstairs before the night's too old" line to replace "spread your wings & let me come inside". It sounded really stupid and just jumped out at you. I also recall stations stations fading the song out before Britt Ekland's heavy breathing at the end.

The Roger Miller edit seemed a bit over the top...hard to imagine someone being offended by the word "wine".]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 06:24:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3348&PID=15676&title=custom-radio-edits#15676 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3348&PID=15671&title=custom-radio-edits#15671 Author: Yah Shure

KDWB aired a version of Roger Miller's "Chug-A-Lug" in 1964 that had the word "wine" in the line "Grape wine in a Mason jar..." replaced with a Masonite-like "whoop" sound similar to that used in Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport." I don't know whether or not sister stations KEWB and KFWB followed suit.]]> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:37:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3348&PID=15671&title=custom-radio-edits#15671 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3348&PID=15667&title=custom-radio-edits#15667 Author: eriejwg

Since it was brought up in the REO Speedwagon thread, anyone recall...

1)A 1977 custom edit of "Rich Girl" from Hall & Oates? A local station (then WRIE-A/C format) played an edit that WWWE in Cleveland made. Instead of "it's a b***h girl, they edited in the "you're a rich girl" in it's place throughout the song.

2) That same station, WRIE, also edited out the line "upstairs before the night's too old..." from Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The Night."

Just wondered if other stations near you did the same...
